Temple Street Parking Garage

If I could give «0» stars I would. This place is the worse. I attended a show at the College Street Music Hall and parked at this garage based on their recommendation. It took over an hour to get out of a ¼ filled parking garage. Not only that… but they charged us $ 16! An hour of sitting in my car, wasting gas in a line of motionless cars… and the hour of waiting in line bumped us up to the next time bracket! When we questioned the cost… the guy just kept yelling at us, «It’s sixteen dollars!» Will never, ever park there again for any reason. Stay away… unless you have an extra hour to spend to sit in the lot and extra $$ to spend.

Do you reminisce for a time when parking garages had a line to get out of them regardless of the time of day? Nothing combines the melancholy attitude towards caring for paying customers with the sweet marinated smell of piss in the stairwells as temple street garage.
Whether your looking forward to chilling on your couch after a hard night of drinking or heading home after your colonoscopy temple street garage never fails to surprise.
Head here if you can’t resist the pungent smell of urine while you inexplicably wait to pay for parking.

Partially reside in the building next door and despite paying a huge monthly fee — we are constantly waiting in line while attendants do their thing and chit chat with people paying cash. There is never a second window open and the wait is constantly backed up. Also, the garage elevator took over a full YEAR to fix (why?)
Second, what is the point of giving monthly users a key card when technology permits an EZ style pass? Half the time we have to open the door to swipe in… really? The entire system is outdated and over priced for slow service. For those that pay to live and park — I suggest priority parking/​fast entry after a long day of work. I shouldn’t have to wait in a cash line while some unprepared driver looks for change at the bottom of their car… especially when there is a second ‘closed’ entry lane. So many problems for such a simple operation.
Also — 2 attendants told us that our key card was not working so we had to manually check in? We later found out that the card was perfectly fine. The fact that I feel the need to write a Unilocal review about a city parking garage should be noted…

Conveniently located, but be prepared to pay $ 8 for 2hrs if you are running across the street to see a movie. Is this place owned by the mafia, because those are mafia prices right there!
