  Very tight parking garage even for compact cars. All cars are door to door with mirrors folded in. Most available spaces would only comfortably fit a Smartcar. The SpotHero page does say no oversized vehicles but there are plenty in the garage. This garage may be cheaper than others but do yourself a favor and spend a few bucks more for peace of mind in a garage where your car is less likely to get dinged. That being said, successful parking experience with scanning in and out.

  I would not recommend this garage to anyone. The 441 E Erie Street parking lot is unsafe, poorly regulated, and incredibly frustrating to use. The ramps and driveways are already extremely narrow, yet the garage management allows massive pickup trucks and oversized body-on-frame SUVs (Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge, RAM, etc.) to park in areas clearly marked for “small cars only.” Because of this lack of enforcement, drivers of normal vehicles are left with almost no room to maneuver. On my visit, I had to avoid several oversized trucks sticking out into the loop-around areas on multiple floors. The result? I struck the curb and damaged my rim — an unnecessary expense caused entirely by this garage’s refusal to regulate its own posted rules. What makes this worse is the inconsideration of the drivers of these massive vehicles. If you truly need a truck for work, fine. But let’s be honest — the majority of people driving these oversized pickups in the city are doing it for statement purposes, not actual usage. In a dense city like Chicago, and especially in tight high-rise garages, that choice impacts everyone else. Drivers of these vehicles should be far more considerate and realize their parking decisions directly put other people’s cars at risk. Parking in Chicago is already expensive. The very least customers should expect is safety and fairness. Unfortunately, this garage provides neither. Until management enforces size restrictions and drivers of oversized trucks show basic consideration for others, I strongly recommend avoiding this location.

  Parking spaces were extremely tight (even for my compact car) - some spaces you can fit into but can’t even open your driver door. I tried fitting into multiple spaces without success and almost gave up parking here altogether. Do not recommend parking here.

  We need a no star review for this place. Terrible spaces and no assistance for tickets. Kept getting a error bad ticket code and card no data prompting. Paged and talked to 3 different people no help. Wasted 45 mins just trying to get out. BEAWARE!!!
