Almaden/Woz Way Parking Lot

My Frat brother was staying at the Hilton downtown and I surveyed the price of parking, this lot stood out as it was over half of the $ 20.00 to park at the Convention Center daily max and $ 24.00 for self parking at the Hilton plus $ 34.00 plus tip for Valet parking at the Hilton!
So at $ 7.00 this lot appears to be a bargain.
Bring your credit card, or exact cash to pay the machine.
Put the receipt in the window of your car and it has the time your parking expires right on it!
There are plenty of signs indicating there is a private security patrol, and while I was talking to my fraternity brother by my car, sure enough a private security vehicle went strait to the parking machine and clocked he was there and moved on.

Went to my sister’s graduation on a friday night,(at the center for preforming arts) we were only there for 3 hours, so after we paid our 15 dollars we had to wait for maybe another hour trying to get out of the parking garage. Mind you our little ticket was paid for at the machine, nope had to pay an additional 6 dollars because of so many people leaving at the same time.
Boo!

This is the best place to park if you are going to an event at the Convention Center or anywhere in the general vicinity. It’s $ 7 all day til 3 am the following morning! Enter the parking lot on Woz Way. There’s no one monitoring the entrance, so I assume there’s in and out privileges as long as you keep your parking pass. The pass needs to be kept in the car on the dash to show that you’ve paid. Ticket machines accept exact cash and credit/​debit cards.
The rates to park at the convention center are more than double the cost of this lot when there’s an event. And you simply cross the street and you’re at the convention center! Cross San Carlos and you’re at the Center for Performing Arts! All for less than $ 10!

This is the best place to park for the Children’s Museum if there isn’t street parking. The machines take a while to deal with partly because they are simply slow to process cards and partly because you have to schlep back toy your car with the parking receipt. There are usually plenty of spaces, although most are pretty small, even for a sedan.

Not impressed as the machine requires exact change. Otherwise, it doesn’t return it. No warnings about it.

This is my go-​to lot if I’m going to be in downtown San Jose. It’s $ 7 all day, they take cards, it’s just a few blocks from the convention center/​Tech Museum/​SJSU, and it’s well-​lit. What more could you want?

Parked my motorcycle there last night around 730. Plenty of open parking spots. I didn’t see any moto parking. so be it. I get there this morning around 9am. Moto is still there… good. Went to go pay. the kiosk was easy to find and there were a few around… good. Over night parking…$ 29.50…WTF!!! !!! are you shitting me! At least my bike was still there. Also, I am not sure where this magical $ 7 parking is at in this building.

When going to the SJ Center of the Performing Arts this is the perfect place to park. There is always parking and the machines have yet to break down on us. If you don’t mind walking a few extra miles this place is a ten minute walk from downtown. Parking is 7 bucks.
