Southpark Garage

There is one large problem with this garage, if you are parked on the upper floors there is only one way in and out. If someone is coming up the ramp and you are trying to go down someone has to back up in this very narrow garage and hope there is a spot to back into so the other car can pass. A nearby hotel uses this garage for their valet parking and it can be very busy. If you are there when there is an event in town, especially at the «Schnitz» it can be almost impossible to get your car out if you are going against the flow.
I used this garage for over 10 years.

HORRIBLE SERVICE. I RECOMMEND NOT USING THIS GARAGE. I left my car there for business lunch and meeting. When I returned, I provided my slip for them to retrieve my car., and waited. And waited, And waited. Car after car came and went. I also noticed that the all-​male staff was more than happy to wait on younger attractive women — particularly blonde women — who asked for their car well after me. Finally, they admitted that they didn’t know where my car was and asked me to come in to the office to locate my keys. The staff was extremely rude to me and treated me like it was my fault that I could not find my keys easily on a wall of keys. Then, they tried to charge me AGAIN for the retrieval of my car! When my car finally came, the staffer acted offended that I did not offer a tip and offered me a prefunctory and completely insincere. So sorry apology. I will not use this lot again and I recommend use of it only if you wish to be treated the way I was which was poorly.

Cheap, easy access to all of downtown Portland and best of all my most memorable nights began with parking here.

Parked in this garage for a year for work. Everything was great until they returned my car with a huge scratch and a denial that it was done while at the garage (despite the card not having any reference to it). Took 2 weeks to even get in touch with the right person. Filled out an incident report which the manager threw away. Contacted their insurance company after waiting 2 weeks only to be told that they aren’t covered for stuff like this. Terrible customer service. Terrible experience. Buyer beware: you pay for what you get. It may be cheap but it sure costs more to repair a paint job. I will never park there again.

You’re paying a slightly higher price than the other public parking spots but it’s secure at night and the staff are courteous and professional

For those of us that commute to work by car to downtown Portland, Southpark Garage is one of the best kept parking secrets. Daily rates are some of the most affordable for the heart of downtown. Monthly rates are a steal! ²⁴⁄₇ reserved parking spots that are priced based on what floor your spot is on. The higher you’re willing to park, the cheaper your monthly parking is. If you’re willing to park on the 5^th floor outdoor roof top parking, monthly parking can be had for $ 153 a month!
The staff are some of the most friendly I’ve seen for parking garages in Portland. You can tell they actually have a fun time there and enjoy each other’s company.
The only thing that gets a little harrowing is that there’s only one lane of traffic for everyone to share going up and down. It gets a little nerve-​wracking when you happen to be going the opposite direction as everyone else, but this happens few and far between. You just kind of figure a way to avoid and get around each other.
As long as their rates stay as affordable as they are now, I’ll be parking here indefinitely!

Southpark garage IS one of the best lots to park in as far as you dollar goes. $ 8.50 in core downtown, just a couple blocks from the square can’t be beat. Plus, they have monthly rates as low as $ 150 (and that includes using your spot on the weekend AND you can get a pass to let you in/​out after hours).
I found this place for my motorcycle parking needs originally. Unlike a lot of garages, who won’t give you a break for taking up very little space, they’ll do a daily rate of $ 4 for a motorcycle. I don’t recall it offhand but their monthly m/​c rate is cheap as dirt too. Nice people running this place, conveniently located, and good price. What isn’t to like?

$ 8.50 is as cheap as it can get downtown and it’s always nice to have someone to park your car as opposed to circling the garage. The only downside is that when you park there on weekends, it may be a pain to get out since other cars are driving up as you’re driving down.
Friendly people and the heat lamp is a nice touch when you’re waiting for them to grab your car. If you go there frequently enough, they’ll go run and grab your car as you’re walking up to the shroff office. Oops, I mean cashier’s booth.
