This place advertises on SpotHero (as #0194) as wheelchair accessible but it is NOT! The ground floor is reserved for “premium/reserved” spots except for ONE ADA spot. To get to the street level in a wheelchair you’ll have to roll down the ramp full of blind spots and speeding cars. There is also an incredibly narrow staircase you can use if you are ambulatory but you’ll likely struggle with your suitcase getting down. I really would not recommend this parking lot for anyone with any sort of difficulty walking or anyone carrying luggage. This is also the same parking lot with an entrance on 211 Dauphne so be mindful of that as well.

A parking garage that was a bit outdated, but offered the lowest parking rate in the area. Stairs only (we saw a one-person-sized elevator-like equipment, but it needed a badge to enter/operate).

This garage was conveniently located within the French Quarter but close to the edge of the Quarter. It’s a nice thing as when Bourbon St. gets busy, the traffic going in and out of this garage does not get impacted much so we love this location. Overall, the garage was well lit and the turns are pretty wide.

We booked our parking ahead of time on SpotHero for a weekend parking at ~$16 a day (per 24 hrs). This is much lower than the $35 daily rate they have on their official Premium Parking website. It’s a self park garage with in-and-out privileges. We had only seen one staff member once during our 2 day parking period (when we drove in and out of the garage several times).

They definitely will boot your car if you don’t play by the parking rule - pay your parking! We didn’t notice any car was booted (didn’t pay too much attention to check on every car on every floor), but there was a “Boot Return” tower/column which had 3 boots on it, so that was definitely an indicator that although no staff were present most of the time, they do check regularly against your license plate to confirm you have paid the parking.

The lower levels of the parking garage are reserved for Star Parking (members) (Costs more $$). After about level 3 or 4, all the spaces are first come first serve. On Saturdays the garage could get busy, but we were able to find space easily after driving up a few floors. Parking spaces are an average size, and they wrapped many pillars/walls with styrofoam and tapes to help protect people from hitting them and scratching their cars. Their spaces weren’t that tiny (we saw many large SUVs and pickup trucks parked here), so it was definitely a nice to have thing that they had added to the facility.

The only other thing that should be pointed out is there isn’t an elevator at this garage (like some other review had pointed out). They only had a tiny one-person-width staircase. They do seem to have a one-person sized elevator, but it’s locked in a cage and seemed like it could only be operated when there is a staff member present. Don’t book or park at this garage if you are not able to walk your way up or down the garage.

All in all, with this affordable rate and convenient location, in-and-out privileges, and ease of finding a space, we will definitely park here again and will also recommend this parking garage to anyone visiting the area!

My cousin found this parking deck which offers cheap valet! I was coming in late into town, so knowing she found this place in advance was a life saver! It was quite busy when I arrived and was chaotic, but someone did come get my information and parked the vehicle. I came back the next morning to check on the vehicle, and a very friendly young man was more than attentive to help us! My cousin and I appreciated his exceptional customer service. When we left town, he was there and even helped sort out an issue we had easily! We truly appreciated him and if you are fortunate to be helped by him, you're in for a treat! I'd highly recommend parking hour vehicle here. Great location in the middle of the French quarter, and you don't have to worry about your vehicle! The best part is the low-priced nightly rate, which is at a price you can't beat with other parking garages in town. Park your car here and you won't be disappointed!

The Premium Parking Lot 194 is not as centrally located as some. It is convenient to Deanie’s Seafood, Canal Street and the Museum of Death. People who are not used to paying for parking may think it’s expensive but these guys are typical and less than some. The City levies taxes and fees on these guys so they’re just trying to make a living. Vehicles are secure here and off the service.

My jeep club got us special parking for the night, when I tried to pay it kept saying it was booked. We noticed it was set for 24 hours so my husband set it for same day but a hour parking and it cleared. I paid them a month later, I'm the only keeper I talked to that for a ticket saying I didn't pay or over stayed for 55 min. Others set various hours, it was $7. I appeal the bill and they think they're doing me a favor knocking it down from 75 to 25. I was parked 2 hours and they still got my first payment..I'm in various groups and i guarantee you, you will lose more than you gained down the road.

Parked here to have quick access to restaurants and Saenger Theater. Easy enough to maneuver a Toyota RAV4 up the ramps, parking spaces are huge, and vehicle was safe during the 5 hours I left it there (no smashed windows or damage). The only downside to this garage is that there isn’t an elevator and the stairs are tiny / narrow.

Parked in this garage for 4 days($200). Early morning of the last day the car was stolen from the garage. The attendant there was completely unhelpful. Just looked at me like I was an alien or something. Contacted the company and received no assistance whatsoever.
