We compared 17 parking places in Los Angeles on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

Downtown Los Angeles is not a city that makes parking easy, and the parking places on this page have collected 770 reviews between them, with ratings running from 3.8 to 4.2, a tighter spread than you might expect for something this unglamorous. What actually separates them is less about the parking itself and more about hours, security, and whether an attendant is watching the lot after dark.

Short answer: Paragon Parking leads on review volume with a 4.0 rating across 450 reviews, running 14 lots across downtown LA. The Broad Parking Garage scores highest at 4.2 stars, with reviewers praising attentive valet staff, though it primarily serves museum visitors. Rates across the page run roughly $9 to $40 depending on duration and location, based on figures reviewers and operators cite directly.

Paragon Parking lot

4.0450 Google reviews

Paragon Parking operates 14 lots across downtown Los Angeles, offering hourly, daily, and monthly parking along with dedicated services for film and television productions. The company has run in DTLA for close to 20 years and staffs its lots with attendants rather than relying purely on automated meters. Reviewers describe a mix of experiences depending on which of the 14 locations they used.

What people praise

  • Attendants get individually praised for good customer service, including resolving a duplicate-charge issue quickly
  • Convenient for downtown meetings, letting drivers park once and use rideshare for the rest of the day
  • 14 locations gives real flexibility across downtown

Worth knowing

  • One review describes a break-in and vandalism at a specific Spring Street location overnight, worth asking whether your chosen lot has security cameras and locked gates after hours
  • Rates can run higher for overnight or all-day parking, one reviewer cited $25 to $40 depending on duration

Our take: The largest review base on this page by far, and a 4.0 average across 14 different lots is a reasonable result for that scale. The overnight security concern is real and specific to one location, so ask about gate and camera coverage at the lot you plan to use, especially for multi-day parking.

Aiso Parking Garage

4.1149 Google reviews

Aiso Parking Garage sits near Little Tokyo and offers hourly parking with a tiered rate structure and EV charging stations, including EVGo and J1772 plugs. The garage is unclaimed on Google, meaning there is no confirmed owner response to reviews, and it does not list a phone number or website. Reviewers describe a generally convenient location undercut by inconsistent hours and staffing.

What people praise

  • Convenient, central location for visiting Little Tokyo
  • EV charging available, both EVGo and J1772 connectors
  • Reasonable base hourly rate according to reviewers

Worth knowing

  • Multiple reviewers describe confusing or inconsistently enforced closing times, with cars locked in overnight after arriving just past closing
  • One reviewer described feeling unsafe after being followed by a stranger inside the garage, with the attendant more focused on billing than the safety concern
  • Rate structure is not clearly posted according to more than one review

Our take: The rating holds up at 4.1, but the safety and after-hours access complaints are specific and recent enough to take seriously. If you plan to arrive or leave near closing time, confirm the exact hours before you park.

Pershing Square Garage logo
#3

Pershing Square Garage

3.8124 Google reviews

Pershing Square Garage is a parking garage and lot in the heart of downtown LA, listed through the SpotAngels app for rates and availability. Reviewers describe it as a straightforward, no-frills option with competitive monthly rates compared to nearby alternatives. The garage does not list its own hours on Google, so checking current rates and access through the SpotAngels listing is the practical approach.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe monthly rates as good value relative to other downtown options
  • Central location works well for events and concerts nearby
  • Height clearance is generous enough for most vehicles according to one reviewer's account

Worth knowing

  • A couple of reviewers mention feeling less comfortable due to nearby street activity, worth factoring in if you're walking to or from your car after dark
  • Event-day food and drink pricing inside the venue itself runs high, though that is separate from the parking rate

Our take: The lowest rating on this page at 3.8, driven mostly by price sensitivity and the surrounding street environment rather than the parking experience itself. A reasonable budget pick for daytime and event parking if location matters more than atmosphere.

#4

The Broad Parking Garage

4.247 Google reviews

  • Free bike parking available on level P1
  • Self-parking spots exist alongside valet, giving drivers a choice
  • Accessible parking spaces included

Worth knowing

Our take: The highest rating on this page at 4.2, and the reviews back it up with specific praise for the staff rather than vague satisfaction. The best choice if you're visiting The Broad or nearby Grand Avenue venues, since validation brings the price down meaningfully.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each location. Review volume measures how many people actually left a review, benchmarked against the others on this page. Confidence blends rating with volume, so a strong rating built on hundreds of reviews scores higher than the same rating on a handful. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving reviews, showing the lot is actively used today. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.
