"Discounted parking" - yeah, right. Try $48 for an hour. Whoever put up that sign better hope they never find me in a dark alley.

Pricing was straightforward. I used the iParkit app to precheck how much it would cost, scanned my phone on the way in and on the way out, no tickets needed. With the discount they gave for downloading the app, I spent less than $20 for 8 hours. read more

*** parking garage in downtown Chicago *** ENVIRONMENT The Wabash-Randolph Self Park, named after adjacent streets, is a decent place for parking in downtown Chicago. It's exceedingly overpriced if you don't have a parking app like SpotHero. It's an ugly, dirty concrete building with no staff members except for the occasional janitor or lot cleaner around to assist you. SERVICE We didn't see any employees here except for one rental car agent, a janitor who poured her dirty bucket of water and soap in the middle of a lane, and one guy who was fan blowing debris down the exit ramp. MY FAVORITE PART... It's within short walking distance of many landmarks. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Everything else. Lol. It's safe, I guess. I don't know. It could be much safer and cleaner. It's hella overpriced. PARKING Pay attention to the signage. Some are reserved. Some are tight spaces. I saw some full-sized vehicles, though. Honestly I don't remember seeing electric car charging stations. There are several levels, though. Elevators move quickly. TIP Use the app "SpotHero" to save on money. Do your research on it beforehand. It will save you quite a bit especially if you need overnight parking. OVERALL Of course, I'd probably use this facility again because there aren't too many other better much less more affordable options in the area. read more

When it reads your card or license plate, great. But when it doesn't, it takes forever to get help.

Lots of parking available and quick access to train station, also not far from Millennium park and the water front. Look for your hotel to validate your parking to bring the price down to $25 a night(still ouch). If your parked higher up, it's worth the walk to an elevator, the stairwells smell like urine. read more

Ladies beware! Be aware of your surroundings because I was there today like any normal day getting into the elevator and getting out on the 7th floor as I went into the elevator a black man in his late teens or early 20s in a puffy red jacket and black head covering quickly slid through the closing doors. Luckily there was another man in the elevator with me. As I exited the elevator I stopped to look at something thankfully and the suspect want ahead of me and I recall seeing him going towards a car and then moving away from it and coming towards me. My hair behind my back rose and I knew instinctually that something was going to happen. Thank God there was another woman that was coming out of the elevators and I pretended to know her and told her as soon as I got close to her that I was afraid of that man coming towards me. She drove me to my car and thankfully she waited until I drove behind her and then when we went down the next level, the man was there AGAIN, stalking behind another lone woman. So to pay it forward I waited for her to get in her car and the three of us watched each other's back until we reached the pay station downstairs. Trust your instincts and be aware of your surroundings ladies! I told the attendant downstairs, and they went to look for him. Hopefully they found something or see something in the security cameras. God bless the woman who stopped and helped me and I repeat her sentiment, "we ladies need to stick together!" UPDATE - I knew it!! I knew something would happen at this garage and this crime alert just posted. I would not trust my car or my safety at this parking lot. read more

Wabash-Randolph Self Park - Parking Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Big scam - I guess that's why there were hardly any cars parked there. They lure you in with a low rate at the street and then charge $63 for a few hours. The ramp to drive up was scary steep and narrow - many had scraped going up and down. Don't recommend. read more

Advertises special rates for macys. To be clear. The special rate is $3 dollars off. If youre there for an hour an a half, you will pay $52 instead of $55! Helluva deal! Park literally ANYWHERE else. read more

Great location, can easily fit a midsize SUV. Reasonable rate for 2 days parking with hotel discount.

DONT park here unless you want your car broken into !!!!! Had some things taken from the glove compartment, had a friend park here once and his trunk was broken into as well, Can't trust parking garages anymore these days. Who ever breaks into cars and is reading this F@$k You !!!!!!! read more

56 bucks for 2 hours. insane. Never coming to Chicago again. too damn expensive. Stairs down smelled like piss.

Expensive parking, but that's to be expected in Chicago, especially in a location so close to shopping, city, county, and Federal government buildings as well as landmarks and tourist destinations. It's convenient parking for the theater district as well. We always park here when we go to the dentist because he's kind enough to validate which gives us a substantial discount for which we are very grateful. I recommend this location - Interpark is a chain of parking lots. read more

This garage took hours to get out of after a show. Just sat gridlocked without any incremental movement at all. Clearly there should be traffic lights at the opening or something. Just stopped. read more

Had validated parking from Millenium eye center, was scammed out of $25 or something. Attendant couldn't speak english and just screamed in uneducated. read more

Being the closest garage to the Chicago Theatre, it was an easy selection for our parking last night. Upon arrival, we noticed signs instructing us to pre-pay the parking (for $17, instead of $22) if going to the theatre. I didn't really understand the advantage of this to the parking garage until we came back from the event. Now, I understand and appreciate their logic. While people arrive at different times to an event, typically everyone leaves at the same time. Therefore, to decrease traffic within the garage and at the pay booths, everyone should have had their card ready to just stick in the reader and quickly be able to pull out of the lot. Kudos for organization and forethought. My only complaint is that you had to use the elevators to get to the different levels. They did not offer any staircases for us to use instead of waiting with the crowds. read more

We used an app to get much cheaper price on a weekend parking. Went to pick up the car. It had been broken into. Change and a phone charger were taken and stuff from glove compartment and pockets scattered on floor. Car has been locked but I noticed some grease marks on the back doors and noticed this on several cars near us. I called the parking lot service number. Woman was really nice but of course there's nothing that can be done. So be sure to take all tour valuables with you. read more

Terrible customer service as well as management. One word of advice if you're looking to come here: Don't!

Very close, easy to pay and coming in, there were attendants everywhere. But there's no rhyme or reason to the exit strategy, (no attendants ANYWHERE), we sat in that garage for over an hour, waiting to leave. Also, the elevators were so slow and crowded, (full of slurring, wobbly people), we had to take the ramp and stairs to get to the seventh floor. read more

Good facilities. But I made a mistake when I entered and payed. I paid with Spothero (Spothero is awesome), but went past my time. The garage said I needed to pay the full rate of $39 even though I locked a rate of $15. When I explained my mistake, they said, "too bad, you have to pay to leave." I called Spothero and they sorted the whole thing out, gave me a new ticket to leave and paid the difference. But the garage still wouldn't let me leave, and insisted that Pay with my credit card. They said I was trying to cheat the system. I paid the full amount and Spothero, again, will refund me the difference. Granted, it was my mistake, but I'll never park there again. read more

I went the the Oriental Theater on a Saturday afternoon (3/15/14). The Theater recommends this "self park"facility. Unfortunately, I had items stolen from my vehicle. The gimmick is they valet park your vehicle which is nice, but they have full access to your car when parking. Rather than making a police report, I thought the petty theft could get published. It a real shame that you can't trust the valet near a major theator area. Maybe someone at the Oriental theater or one of the theaters will launch an investigation and get rid of this bum. Unknowingly, I even tipped the same guy for returning my car. Based on the volume of vehicles I saw, this guy should be doing "ok" with all the tips they receive from loyal theater goers. ABM Clean up your staff!! I'm sure it's business as usuall. In the mean time theater goers, lock up your stuff, empty your vehicles, or simply pick another parking garage. This place has a thief!!!!!!!! It's sad to see that such a wonderful theater experience ruined by such a minor incident. Come on Chicago, we are better than that. Let's clean up by reporting these incidents. It's a matter of time before a thief is discovered. Maybe he should be parking laundry carts in prison? PS-I hope the petit items you stole were worth it, because its goings to cost you your job and reputation. read more

$54 for 2 hours to park. Only space available was on top floor where homeless people and junkies were hanging out getting high. This was between 1pm and 3pm on a Wednesday. I can only imagine this spot at night since you can just walk in and out and have access to any area. Parking lot in this building is not recommended because I can see how easily it is to get robbed or car broken into. Avoid this place at all cost. Might be better just driving around a bit more looking for a space or just walking more for your safety. read more

Very disappointed in your service on Saturday evening. I was given an older discount card from The Illinois Institute of Art, which your machines don't read. I was able to get an override from a manager to accept the card before, but the person whom I was connected to via the machine was very harsh, and basically told me "too bad," and hung up on me. I understand that I was given an old discount card, but there is no excuse for the poor customer service I received. The discounted rate was $14, I ended up paying $44. read more

We parked today at this parking lot, in 40 minutes our car was broken into, laptop, camera and our wallet got stolen. The security lady did nothing but to slow things down.She refused to show the surveillance video. Gave us a BS number that was supposed to be managers number. Which was not his number. PEOPLE DO NOT PARK HERE, THEY ARE THEIVES . Richard ( the manager)and his people are bunch of thieves. They monitor cars and break into the car once you walk out the building. We paid 47 dollars for 41 minutes. Richard you are a thief!!!! No wonder there are no cameras throughout floor, because the thief is within them.This place does not even deserve a star. Shame on your management. read more

Reserved a spot for $20 for this garage several days ahead of time. It said a spot would be reserved for us. Wrong! We spent 30minutes driving in and out of the place and never found a spot. Finally when I complained to an attendant he said we could park in valet on the tenth floor for no extra cost. There was one spot left there but it was in a section blocked off by orange cones. I had to get out of the car and move the cones so I could take that spot. This place is a joke! read more

We parked at this garage starting about 5:00 on a Sunday evening and returning to our car about 9:00 that night. We only used this garage because Spothero was showing the rate as $15, but we didn't use Spothero because we weren't sure we were going to park there. We were shocked when we returned to pay and were being charged $47 for 4 hours. A woman with her children was almost in tears because she was only there for a few minutes over 1 hour and she was being charged $42. Absolutely ridiculous that they get away with charging people this much for parking. Never again. read more

Total ripoff. Went to the theater on a Saturday afternoon, parked for less than 3 hours and we paid $49.00. Many other places close by that are far less expensive. I don't believe we were suppose to,pay that much, but it was so crowded and chaotic after the play that we didn't even have a chance to voice our disappointment. read more

A rip off parking. It openly advertises $14 for 3 hr from outside and has a much higher tiered parking wherein you end up shelling $40 for the same time. While they have signs inside, they aren't easily visible to anyone trying to navigate their extremely tight turns. Definitely not recommend. read more
