Stationnement SPAQ

It’s a parking garage without any bells or whistles, just like many others. I visited in the fall so I cannot comment on winter maintenance of this location but I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary early in the fall. Before settling on this Spaq, we had tried many of Old Quebec’s Indigo parking locations shortly after 8 pm the night we arrived and they were all seemingly closed and there were no parking attendants anywhere to seen. The Indigo machines we tried were limited to issuing overnight parking tickets that were only valid until 6am (and in one case 3am, because 6 am isn’t inconvenient enough when you are trying to enjoy yourself and hoping to sleep in). The only issues we had at this SPAQ were: 1- the credit card reader at the entrance was not working (we tried a couple different cards but the reader didn’t respond at all). I simply walked up to the pedestrian entrance (right next to the car entrance), pressed the help button, explained the situation and the remote attendant promptly opened the garage door for us. We were then able to pay at the machine inside for parking up to mid afternoon the next day, which was great so we could take our time in the morning. 2- the location on google maps is misleading and makes it look like you should be able to enter through the ministry of agriculture building but there is a small sign indicating that the entrance is behind the building so the actual address should be 247, Rue des Franciscains, Ville de Québec, QC G1R 1H9. Thankfully both of us are pretty proficient in French so we were able to figure that out quickly. I sent a correction request to google maps and hope it will get revised soon. If not for the faulty credit card machine I would have given it 4 stars but it has clearly been an issue for a while now therefore I am docking a star. Hopefully they will repair it soon and maybe even add English language signage for the non-French speaking users.

Poor maintenance (a ruined car park): water leaks, poor water flow (there are often lakes in winter ...), a mega hole on the ground which took months before d 'be repaired, a faulty card reader, cars that stay there on flat for almost a year and therefore take up parking spaces for nothing. The parking is also poorly configured, there are many very narrow spaces.

The parking lot is not very well maintained, spaces are tight. Parking on two levels. Possibility to store your vehicle there for the winter. No agent on site, they can be reached by intercom. Subscription or credit card accepted.

They no longer admit anyone other than the monthly subscribers during snow removal operations.

Scandalous, they close the parking lots during snow removal operations .. while the parking lot is empty at night. "Reserved for subscribers" according to an employee on behalf of the owner!
