Carter Street Garage

I had to hit this joint up for a rabies vaccine. Well the urgent care, not the damn garage. Is garage a French word? It sounds French. Well anyways, I was taking a shower and forgot to rinse my beard. You're welcome.

Miles ahead of the Portland garage at the hospital. I park at this one as much as possible. Easy to navigate as its one way up, one way down. The spots aren't as tight together, WAY better lighting too. I do wish the payment methods were a bit more reliable. The one inside the elevator lobby works most of the time, the visitor exit on the most over to the right its maybe 50/50 when wants to work or not. If you have to pay in person it is staffed until 4 or 5pm I think. Any issues you hit the security button on the exit gates and they should be able to let you out. Are there improvements to be made? Sure. Both of the public exits should accept payment. I know the point is to use the pay kiosk in the elevator lobby but I don't think everyone sees that as I always happen to run int

Don't park here if you have a doctor's appointment (like the website suggests). Use the other one. Otherwise it's a perfectly good parking lot that does exactly what a parking lot should. The people who work in the parking office are very nice when you have a question.

It's a parking garage! Always easier to find a space here than at the main garage over at Strong Hospital. Generally can get your parking validated inside when you have an appointment. If not, make sure you pay at the machine on your way out. No booth with attendants to exit, just enter validated ticket and the gate opens.

The payment machine for paying for parking that is inside the building always has an issue and cannot read debit card or parking ticket. They added a credit/debit payment machine at the exit of the garage, this comes in handy and is my preferred way to pay now instead of the machine inside.
