Port Atwater Parking Garage

2014 review - everyones experiences are different. if ur looking for like short term parking go else where, but for a couple hrs or more, this is the place to go. 24 hr public parking. Was there when i needed it on multiple occasions, and the price was never too high.

Quick story: Needed parking for an event recently, but didnt want to spend too much. First looked for closeish parking. Traffic was the worst, and Parking places were asking $50. I was like really? and very frustrated. Then i want to old reliable PAPG, Next to no traffic to get there, and way less then half the price! I am officially making this my goto parking if im ever in detroit for events. My only hope is my 5 star review wont make them full next time im there lol (late october, save me a spot)

Don't park here!...... park next door, as I had done a previous time.This time I parked at Port Atwater very early this past Saturday - may 11, 2013. Stayed about 1 hour and 40 minute..... Bill came to $6.... I put a $10 bill in the kiosk machine to pay, and did not get any change. Pushed the help button on the pay station.... It took a long time for someone to answer - Finally someone did. They came (drove) to the station and checked if I was looking in the right place. He , Ken, said he could not give me my change, but told me to call the telephone number on the receipt. Luckily I looked - No number on the receipt. He had to write the telephone number down. I called that number this morning (Monday) and Talked with with a very helpful Jud Kingsbury....who was apologetic.....and said there was no other problems that morning - Lucky me. So we will see if I get that $4 refund he promiswed.........Stay tuned :-)



One week later - May 20 - No $4. Talked with Jud again.... said he did not get around to making up a money order... So the check is in the mail so to speak... or more like not in mail... Stayed tuned. I wonder if the City of Detroit regulates parking lots.
