Chinatown Gateway Plaza

Convenient location. Cheap. You have to walk up a bunch of humid, smelly stairs.

This review is for the parking garage, which has the best rates in the Fort Street Mall area (they offer municipal rates). The cost is $ 0.75 per half hour for the first two hours, then $ 1.50 per half hour after that. After 5:00pm, the cost decreases to $ 0.50 per half hour, $ 3.00 maximum. The garage is rarely totally full.
The main problem with this garage is the teeny tiny parking spaces. With just a few exceptions, they are marked «compact» yet my compact car hardly fits. There are also a LOT of pillars in here, making it difficult to maneuver. Like other garages, there is free parking for motorcycles and mopeds on the first level in a specially marked area.
The garage entrance is on the ‘ewa side of Bethel, ½ block makai of King Street. It is open daily from 5:00am-midnight.
