SFMTA - Sutter Stockton Garage

Paid for parking but the machine ate the ticket without raising the bar. Was held hostage for over 20 minutes while multiple people tried to hand count hundreds of tickets to “validate “ my purchase. Huge waste of time, rude and disrespectful staff. The staff became threatening when we asked if we need to call the cops since we were being held against our will. They finally found the ticket and buzzed us out - would provide negative stars if possible. This was the worst parking experience I’ve ever had.

Easy to find. Plenty of open parking spaces on a Saturday. Decent stairwell and elevators. There are some tight spots but got my Honda CRV into a slot in a jiffy. There's a hair salon and cafe on the first level. Easy in and out with their ticketing machines. I was shocked when I returned within the hour it was only $4!

Well lit, 24-hr garage, simple exit/entry, lots of open spaces. Rates can feel slightly steep but it's a fair price in my opinion

Plenty of parking spaces. There are some tight spots too. So, keep looking for better spots. It's usually busy and people come and go. It has 11 floors of parking. Not so clean and secure, but cheaper than most of the parking garages in SF. One of the most affordable parking spots in SF for Union Square, China Town, Financial District and many other notable places just blocks away. If parking on a Sunday(9 AM to 6 PM), there is $1 per hour off. Make the best use of it. Update: Looks like there a price increase recently. Was charged $10 for couple of hours on a week day.

Twenty years ago I worked in Union square and for those 3 years Sutter Stockton was my garage. It was very clean, easy to get in and out of and the people who worked the pay booth late at night were very helpful and friendly. I returned today and saw that not much has changed. This is still a great garage. The bathrooms need some repairs but are still very clean. There are no longer any people in the pay booths but a worker was sweeping around the pay stations and asked right away if I needed anything.
