Ratings and Reviews
Great tool but should allow rating parking spots
It’s a great tool and saved me a lot of money in NY city. However, my first experience was horrible. On a beautiful day I booked my spot through the app. then an hour or so later pulled into the garage. Garage manager bluntly told me that they do not honor reservations because they can charge more to people who pull in without a reservation and because it’s a beautiful day they won’t have an issue selling out that day. And I should discuss for a refund with spot hero. Or I could pay the difference. It was a shocker. Didn’t know what to do. I depended on the app and it failed me at first use... It wasn’t really the app failing me in reality, which is why I continued to use it, but it was the parking garage management. But app doesn’t have any way to provide me any feedback or warning about places like that, so it’s partially responsible.
Then I started checking the garages on google for reviews, before booking on the app. Yes, it’s painful but gives “some” peace of mind. A review option within the app would be greatly greatly useful. Lack of parking space feedback function is what’s taking one star away from my review.

Updated: Charged twice and offered a $5 credit instead of a Refund
I was booking a spot in Boston. After entering my credit card information and attempting to reserve the spot, the app stated it had run into an error. I checked my card, and there was no pending charge. I checked my email and there was no confirmation. I assumed the reservation did not go through as the app had said it had encountered a problem. I rebooked the spot without issue. I confined monitoring my card for the next two days, but only ever saw one pending charge, so I thought all was good. When I returned home from the trip and was rallying up my expenses, I suddenly found SpotHero had charged me the $70 twice. I quickly called customer service who said they did see the duplicate reservation, placed all of 7 minutes apart. Instead of a refund however, I was told it was my fault for not reaching out to customer service immediately and the most they could do for me was offer a $5 credit. Spot Hero literally stole $70 from me, blamed their App’s issue on me, and then offered me $5. I asked to speak to a manager and was informed none were available but they would call me back. I of course have never received a call back.
After jumping through several hoops and waiting many days, I was eventually refunded to my original payment method. All said and done, it’s cheaper and easier to just find a parking garage and pay them directly. Will not be using SpotHero again after the hassle.

This app is an absolute scam do not use it
I bought a spot with this app and I went to that exact spot that I had bought and I went to a concert that I spent money on my way back later that night to find that my car was towed. Miraculously I struggled as it was literally 11 o’clock at night as I was trying to figure out where my car went. which is insane because I spent money on this spot, so why are you got towed? I do not understand as miraculously finding out where this car ended up. I finally was able to get a bag after spending $200 on my wall earn money to get the car back and I contacted Support as I was very much frustrated because I spent money on this parking spot just to find out that my car was towed little did I know that’s not support was absolutely unhelpful as I asked Support they sent me to a supervisor that took me a couple days to respond just for them to tell me that I won’t get my money back and that they’re sorry because of my mistake a parking in the wrong spot which was crazy and incorrect because I parked in the right spot that I spent money on because why would I park in a spot that I did not spend money on I’m very much frustrated and still always be frustrated but it’s OK. I guess the 50 bucks left on the app that they gave back to me is more than enough for me to get scammed out of $200 again just for them to tell me that I parked in my wrong spot. This is such a great app and make sure you guys keep using it.
