Inconspicuous

I took a look at Patriot/Falstaff previously and some of their Google reviews are really bad. Sounds like if there is any rain at all you and your car will be trapped in the lot until the waters recede. They also apparently have issues with keeping the pickup shuttles running in a timely manner. I see their reviews over the past month look a lot better.

As I started searching for parking for an upcoming cruise I was wondering if your first point above was more of a driver of these increases than the inflation/property taxes/port access fees and such going up. I paid $75 for 7 nights of covered parking in an enclosed warehouse type building at Port Parking for a cruise in March 2020, and now that same lot is wanting $175 for 7 nights in September 2024. I thought to myself "geesh, Port Parking went crazy over the past 4 years! Gotta be better options out there." So I go out searching and found most of the lots have dramatically increased their rates as well and there isn't much to be saved by going elsewhere and keeping covered (with access to EV charging that I would like to have as well). Seems like they all saw that cruisers are willing to pay the higher rates and took advantage of that fact....and it seems like there isn't really a great mechanism of competition forcing them to lower their prices. Anyway, with all that said, has anyone run across good covered parking options in Galveston recently? EV charging access would be nice but not a necessity. I see a lot of Google reviews for other private lots indicating slow pickup times at the port upon return; hoping to avoid that also. I can walk it on my own if it's close enough to the port. Thanks!
