Hoboken Midtown Garage

This place is unbelievable. Sandy struck at the end of October, resulting in power outages for much of Hoboken, this garage included.
However, while the rest of Hoboken has taken steps to return to normal, as of this writing in mid-​March 2013, the Midtown Garage has yet to do a darn thing to remedy the problems caused by Sandy.
1. Aside from the lights that illuminate the garage, they still have not fixed a single thing that operates on electricity. This includes the gates that allow entry to and exit from the garage. Because the gates and scanners that read the monthly parker access cards no longer work, this causes a logjam of cars trying to exit. There’s enough traffic trying to get out of Hoboken every weekday morning — we don’t need it to start before we even have the opportunity to exit our garage!
2. The elevator has not been fixed since Sandy. Did I mention this garage is next to and connects with a HOSPITAL??? Do they think that an elevator might be a mere luxury — rather than necessity — for a customer with a significant lower body injury who cannot walk without pain?
To be fair, though, one thing that has not changed since pre-​Sandy is that the stairwells still reek of piss, and certain areas of the garage are littered with more bird droppings than I care to describe.

Attention everyone currently being overcharged to park in Hoboken: Go here.
After a little research, this seems to be the cheapest place to safely put your car within city limits. (Good for non-​resident frequent visitors like me.)
First, nobody parks my car for me. I’ve seen the crap those guys pull and the tiny spaces they try to put you in. Yes, Central Parking lot by the PATH station, I am talking about you. So any place that valets your car isn’t even an option that I have considered.
The midtown garage is self-​parking, and is attached to the hospital. It’s a little out of the way from Washington and much less blatant in its I AM A PARKING GARAGE signage, but I guess that helps keep some spaces free.
As I type this, my car is sitting on the top foor. Moneybills — $ 16 for 8 hours, $ 20 for 12, and $ 24 for an overnight stay. If I am parking for 4 hours or less, I just park uptown on the street for the price of… on the house.
The closest in price I’ve found to the Midtown Garage is uptown at Maxwell Place (by Starbucks,) but they only have one very small area for daily parking and it is $ 28 a night.
My other choice is ProPark on Bloomfield & 14^th (primarily for overnight weekday parking.) It has the cheapest overnight special I’ve seen if you can squeeze the hours; enter after 6pm and leave before 10am for $ 9.
