A parking garage with personality. It's located in a very popular and densely populated area close to both Chinatown and North Beach little Italy restaurants. It's always such a challenge to find parking in the area , so having a conveniently located garage is so helpful in saving you stress and time . I think the rates were what you would expect for a parking garage in San Francisco. We entered the garage around 3 pm on a Saturday, and we found parking on the second floor. I loved reading all the fortunes printed in each parking spots and color codes are helpful in identifying your parking level. It's a very clean and accessible parking garage. The one big negative is the extremely TIGHT turns going up the garage and the parking spots themselves are pretty tight as well. We were driving a mid size sedan, and it was a bit nerving wracking to navigate those tight turns . Not sure a large suv would be able to make up without hitting the cement wall, so BEWare! Other then that , this garage will save you a ton time when looking for a parkiNg spot in prime times..

If you want to park at the edge of Chinatown and not worry about time, this is the garage for you: $4 per hour in the evening, very reasonable 24 hour rate, plus you will feel safe leaving your car in a garage literally surrounded by the police cars (the police department is across the road). The spaces and ramps are tight, so do not take here this Ford 150 of yours (just like into most smaller garages in SF).

It's a good spot to keep your car safe while you are in Chinatown or the North Beach.

I never write super short reviews but there's a first time for everything.
Park here, it may be one of the safest garages here in SF. $30 for 12 hours or $36 for 24 hours. Besides that, I think it's $4 per hour. Super close to Chinatown and it's easy to get picked up by ride share if you choose to park here and say, you need to go to Pier 39 or Alcatraz cruises. From this garage to Pier 33 (where Alcatraz Cruise sails), it was about a 20-25 minute Uber ride.
Thank you Yelp for helping me find this garage. Spent an entire Saturday visiting SF and we came back to our car in one piece.Helpful 9Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0 - Raymond P.San Rafael, CA12331Dec 11, 2023

Safe (across the street from a police station!), well-lit, 24/7 access, automated payment that works, what's not to like. Best of all, the aphorisms stenciled on the floor adorning each parking space; essentially choosing a space is like cracking open a fortune cookie and pulling out the wisdom inside :)

I heard a lot of people saying this garage was safe due to the police station next door. As I was pulling into the garage, a squad car was leaving the garage. This was reassuring to see and brought me peace of mind. I parked here for 8 hours on a weekday and there was no issues with my car.
BEWARE of the tight turns. That was my only issue. We parked on the 3rd floor and boy oh boy was it an experience to travel up and down those turns. Crooked Lombard Street was a way smoother drive compared to the turns here. As you make the tight turns, you can't help but see all the scratch marks on the walls from all the other cars that were not as successful making these turns.
Overall, this garage brings you safety, good value in San Francisco, and conveniently located in Chinatown with easy access to public transportation and the historic cable cars.Helpful 10Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 0 - Angie B.Fair Oaks, CA04246Jan 1, 2024
Safe, well lit, and the machines are clean. I could not find a way to reserve and prepay but when we arrived New Years Day morning at 10am the lot was pretty empty so I was able to park on the 2nd floor. Tight turns and highly recommend backing up into your spot. "What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow." was our fortune cookie spot. 1/1/24
