Right in the heart of Downtown. Walking distance to Quincy Market, Boston city Hall and the State house.I highly recommend booking online for less price, I paid $26/day online but if you go directly to pay the rate is more like for 2hr $50 it showed.Little expensive.

Great location near tourist sites, and I loved the ability to use my phone to pay before exiting. That made for a swift and easy exit. One of two elevators was broken making the wait a bit long. I opted to take the stairs which had the odor of a rancid urinal. Do not touch the walls or handrails in the stairwell.

If coming from exit 17 off 93 South be in the far right lane and at the light turn right, the garage is right there. Waze directions were iffy as soon as out of the tunnel. Parked here during a Bruins game and busy St Paddy weekend, no problem getting in or out. Would pick this over Gov Center any day.

Had no issues with parking at all. Used the ParkWhiz app and paid only $23 for the entire day. To get that rate out must arrive by 9:00 am. After that it will be $32 for the day.Garage was clean well lit and organized nicely. Parked there 4 days in a row while we visited Boston. No issues at all. Simply scan app when arriving and then again on exit. No money changing hands. All down through the app. Highly recommend the ParkWhiz app.

Horrible Disgusting Scam of a place. I went to pay before leaving after getting back 1hr41m later. 42$. Who in there right mind think that s appropriate? Oh and there Were no signs stating the rates BEFORE you get in only after you leave:) don t give these greedy scammers a single penny of your hard earned money

Convenient location near alot of places to visit. Used for the Tesla charger that s available on site. As soon as you drive in to your left. The chargers only charge at 40 amps max, so slower then supercharger, but it s free with your parking cost.Also once all the chargers are engaged with cars, the charge current goes down to 12 amps.

Book online first! Go to their website and get a time the day before or just in advance, it will save you money and time.We paid $33 for 5 hours during the day in October. It was super easy, I just scanned the bar code from the email on my phone to get in and out.

Beware! There is a sign that might trick you into parking in this garage for $25 but that is only for weekdays! If you park during the weekend the rates sky rocket!! I had to pay over $40 for 2 hours parkingBesides the fact that the elevators were out of service.

I truly hope you read the reviews before letting yourself get mugged like we did in this place. We were charged $42 for 1h50m. Don't fall into this trap!

4 out of 5 stars.Pretty convenient Tesla destination charger spot on the initial ramp going up. Charged for free, but paid out the wazoo for the parking.We stayed for a couple hours and the bill for the garage was $42.It s right in the mix of a great area, so maybe it was worth it?

Avoid getting robbed in Boston. Find somewhere else to park and NEVER go there. This parking hides it s hourly fees so people park and only until they return to pickup the car is when they realize that after an 1/2hour (20min parking and 70min walk) they end up being charged the daily fee: $42. This is outrageous. This people should be ashamed of them selves. What a terrible impression they leave of the city.

If you have a new car or a car that you absolutely love and want to avoid dings from other car doors this garage has what I consider Fancy Car Parking . It s the only parking garage I ll use in Quincy Market / North End. If you travel to the top floor you will see an amazing view and hopefully be able to choose a parking space you will love!

For Boston, I think this is a very nice parking garage. It is fairly priced for the area and offers an early bird special if you arrive before 8 AM. There are normally many spots open on levels 4+, and the spots are spacious! The only negative I experienced parking here is that it feels unsafe at night. There were people yelling and screaming on one of the floors, and it made me pretty nervous as I was alone. I just don t park here at night.

PEOPLE ARE NOT FULLY READING THE SIGNS!It's ONLY $25 a day if you're in before 9am and you leave before 7pm

While staying at a nearby hotel, the guys who worked at this garage told me I could get a pass on spot hero and just come and go to and from this garage for the length of my pass. So I got a three day pass. Turns out that was wrong and the garage still expected me to pay $42 even though I still had the pass. Of course the same attendants were not around at this point.Another employee of the LAZ company happened by and told me to go to the office located within the garage. No one was at the office. There was a number on the door, which no one answered. Eventually another guy happened by and told me that the manager was upstairs, not down in the office I was directed to. By the time the guy finally came down I'd been waiting at the garage for 30 minutes. Thankfully he was able to let me out.A garage like this needs to have an attendant by the exit. OR at least have a way to page the only worker there. And it'd help if they didn't just give out the wrong info about paying for the parking.

The sign outside said $25 all day. Go to pay and they want $42. Of course they don't have anyone there to talk to, so there's no way to get some of your money back. They don't deserve the one star I gave. Negative five stars. Total scam. Do not waste your money. You can get valet parking cheaper.

There was a sandwich board outside saying $25, and we have parked here before on a holiday or weekend for about that. Had to go all the way up to level 6. Gave up waiting for elevator after almost 10 minutes. No one was parking on lower levels because there were no spots and there didn t seem to be much traffic coming in so that was not the cause of the elevator hold up. Then trudged my small kids down the stairs and had to explain that the smell was urine. So we then trudged back up the stairs. Then were horrified and confused to be charged $42 on our way out, which is even more than the max price they list. We called. They claim the sandwich board says that $25 is for in before 9. If that is true, it is very small print meant to intentionally deceive, and why would that still be out at 12:30. $42 is way more than parking needs to be. At least be honest. I avoid and choose other lots based on what I know they will cost. This is just dishonest, false advertising. I would have made an informed decision.

Convenient parking garage to Quincy Market. In Oct 2022 the elevators were not operational but it wasn't a big deal as we took the steps. We visited on a weekday late afternoon and there were plenty of spaces.The pricing seemed a little steep but I understand they probably don't want people camped out there all day.Note: you can pay for your parking via a text and still exit the garage 80 minutes after paying. Had I realized that I would have save a few dollars by paying about an hour before coming back to the car.

It s very convenient, walking distance to all the shops, kind of pricey but worth it.

Convenient location but must pay in advance! Great spot near Haymarket, Quincy Market, North End and TD Garden. Do the tourist thing or hit a game at the Garden. Can be less expensive than most other options in area if you PURCHASE YOUR SPOT IN ADVANCE. <-- critical. The reader for prepaid parking works okay (not great) but the facility is in reasonable condition for Boston standards. The location is amazing for driving and walking around. Almost immediately off the Haymarket exit from I-93. To leave, drive around building and either go I-93 North or follow Greenway to I-93/I-90 by South Station. Can't drive in and out any faster or easier. The location is easy to find/remember by foot and reasonably close to everything in that area of Boston.

WARNING - The absolute worst part of my Boston trip was parking here. It seems that they intentionally do not post their predatory rates visible to entering vehicles to the parking garage.Once you realize the incredibly high rates, you have to pay I believe $9 if you want to leave (0-20 minutes). There is no way this is legal, or if it is, it needs to be made illegal. I will be writing several city and state entities about investigating this. Please do your civic duty and spread the word about this apparent scam to help people not fall for this pathetic excuse for a parking garage.

Worst parking experience I have ever had. Dirty garage, poor lighting. HUGE RIPOFF! Paid $42 for 1.5 hrs of parking. I wanted to leave after discovering the ludicrous prices upon pulling up but you still have to pay $9 just to enter and then exit immediately. There was no attendant to let us out. With how much they rip people off, they could definitely afford to hire attendants. This was my first time to Boston and I didn't know what to expect. There are plenty of other parking options that charge half the amount, or less. DON'T PARK HERE!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with the people working there, support staff on the help phone, and other idiots trying to park here.The horrible automatic panel would not show a button to print a ticket. Caused a huge backup behind me and horrible people complaining. One particular tall gent who is the parking manager at the next door Canopy Hotel, started screaming at me like it was my fault. I pushed the HELP button on the display panel and after phone rang for 3 minutes a useless person who I could not understand tarted talking like the adults on Peanuts cartoons. After a minute of that the Canopy Hotel parking manager still in line behind came ove and started yelling again at me and then told the useless person on the phone to hang up .I m like, why you tell her to hang up?!? He starts blaming me again . Finally the console looked like it was rebooting and after 2 more minutes it finally comes up and I finally get a ticket and gate opens. Meanwhile Canopy Hitel parking manager is still shouting and fortunately i can t understand because he was yelling at the one human that actually works at this parking s**t show.After two hours of parking I get to now pay 42 dollars for this miserable place. NEVER Again! And CANOPY HOTEL should take another look at the horrible person working as a valet !*******************SERIOUSLY go to a nearby parking garage around the corner and pay weekend rate of 16 dollars. Then If you get it validated at any of the local restaurants pay only THREE DOLLARS!!!

Horrible old dirty building and worst even, charging first time visitors $34.00 per hour for parking. Welcome to Boston - Quincy Market

Watch out for scam!The term "daily parking rate" is deliberately misleading on the online reservation website. You select a range of time for parking and when checking out you see a daily parking rate of $22. One would think "daily" means it covers the whole day. IT DOES NOT!If you exit even just minutes after the reserved time, you will be asked up to an EXTRA $34, because you are charged the ridiculous hourly rate for the extra time.

Great for a parking lot rooftop photoshoot. not many people go here and going up the roof top is fairly easy
