01/31/2011The garage was easy to find & easy to get to. I arrived at 5:00 AM on a Wednesday and found a space on the 4th floor - so nice to get covered parking for what I would pay for outdoor parking elsewhere! They actually have a waiting area with a couch and a TV, but I didn't sit down because the shuttle arrived almost immediately. The shuttle wasn't fancy, but it was clean, the seats were upholstered, and it was fine. I noticed it also had a wheelchair lift and room for multiple wheelchairs inside. Although I had hesitated to park at 105 because it seemed like other lots were closer to the terminals, it's actually just a quick shuttle ride under the runways to get to the terminal area.
When I returned on Saturday afternoon, I called 105 to say I needed a shuttle pick-up at Terminal 6 and they told me to wait under the red sign (for hotels & shuttles). It's a good thing I waited until I was there to call, because the shuttle arrived within a minute or two. They clearly didn't have time to dispatch the bus from the garage, so it must have been in the terminal area, but they may have told the driver to go find me. I was the only person that boarded and we went straight to the garage. Because I had read the reviews, I made sure to hand my reservation confirmation to the attendant and pay her instead of going to the pay machine. There were no surprises about the amount due and no problems. After paying her with a credit card, she gave me a ticket to feed the machine, which opened up and let me out. The grand total for four days of covered parking was $30.36.
Bottom line: I wouldn't expect such timely shuttle service every time, nor would I expect
covered airport parking to be available for mid-day arrivals, but I will definitely return to 105 whenever I have an early flight.
