Colonial Parking

Everywhere you turn, there are signs declaring that you need to bring your ticket with you, as you need to pre-​pay prior to exiting. However, there are no signs directing you to where the pre-​pay machine is. So we had to drive around the garage before discoving that the machine is hidden around the corner from the exit, behind another parking spot and blocked from most views by a large concrete pole. I know it’s that day before Easter and all, but I really wasn’t in the mood to play the egg hunt game.
Finally, after all this, if you’re paying by credit, it won’t accept it! It makes you go to the gate! Whhhhhy couldnt at least ONE of the 3 746 788 754 signs in this garage say «go to gate if paying by credit card»!!! Gaaah!!!
Convenient and next to the water and all the lovely shops in old town Alexandria… but the hassel was beyond irritating. Boo!
