CPMC Parking Lot

I park in these lots all the time and find that it’s very convenient in the hellish-​parking-​jungle that is SF. Like most lots, this parking structure has installed a self-​pay kiosk to speed up efficiency, but puts more peeps outta work. The parking dudes are helpful, especially when you need to opt for the valet/​stack parking. Overall good.

They currently are running a valet on the 3^rd floor preventing patients and family from parking there even when a space appears like the social club The Battery. Because of the valet there are cars double parked on all floors.
The only other available floor for patients and family is 7^th and up. People walk down the ramps even when signs ask people specifically not to. This causes a danger on to the person walking down the ramp and the driver trying to avoid them.
Parking is not cheap. I spent $ 5 just for less than an hour parking and the discount tickets given to patients are only good for prices more than $ 17.

5 Stars for the best parking attendant guy in the universe!
When I ran out of CPMC after realizing that my MRI was at the Webster campus (in 5 minutes!), I’d lost my ticket. The super rad guy at the attendant booth chided me for rushing, told me to relax, then charged me a more than reasonable rate than a lost ticket yielded.
This lot may be a royal PITA, but that day, it was evidence that there are still super cool people doing their thing in SF.

No problem finding a parking spot for an 8:15 appointment, but the self-​pay machine ate my ticket. You can pay at the booth as you exit, so save yourself the extra minutes spent searching for a parking attendant to the retrieve the eaten ticket, and walk right on by that hungry self-​pay machine.

I needed emergency treatment for severe apoplexia after trying this lot. The sadists who work here don’t bother with a ‘lot full’ sign or anything when, say, the lot is beyond full to bursting, they let you blithely enter in seeking parking for your visit to the hospital (which is a joy to begin with) knowing full well you’ll be winding your way around double cluster parked blocking the isles madness for the next 20 minutes only to end up stressed and late, frantically searching for parking back out on the street again.
Real buncha parktologists there, they took any chances we had of being on time and wrecked ‘em.
