55 Franklin St. Garage

If you’re not a resident and do not have someone to validate the parking for a University Park event, you are charged a default $47. An employee told fellow inquirers that he would be able to validate the parking later, who later disappeared; apparently he was reprimanded and the validation offered by the employee was not honored by admin. DO NOT PARK HERE unless you’re a resident!! $47 down the drain!

I used spothero to park here and it was a disaster. The bar code I was provided with didn’t work when I tried to leave so I was forced to make a full payment apart from the one I had already made to spothero so that I could drive out. Eventually received a refund from spothero but the whole experience was embarrassing and frustrating.

It is very nice and clean. It has a lot of space for parking.

I need to go into parking lot management as a second career. $35 to park here for the day!! More expensive than many places in downtown Boston. It was our only choice as all the other lots near Central were full because of Sail Boston. For $35 I expect climate control and soothing music playing. You can actually get those in Boston for $2 more.

The garage is convenient for those needing parking in this small congested streets of Cambridge. The fees are quite high but seeing as you have no other option for parking, you have to use these facilities. There no visible security so I'm assuming there's cameras should anything happen. There's also no personel present so it's a DIY pay system which is quite simple to use.
