Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,124 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the customer service for being helpful, professional, and friendly, often highlighting quick and thorough responses. Many people appreciate the staff's patience and knowledge, noting that they often speak with a real person who can resolve issues effectively. Reviewers also find the service easy to use and value the ability to secure parking at competitive prices, especially for events or in cities where parking is typically difficult or expensive. However, some people were dissatisfied with the actual parking experience, encountering issues such as reserved lots being full upon arrival, leading to the need for alternative parking.

A few customers reported issues with overcharging or facilities not being as expected, like non-functional elevators.

I could not get in nor could I get out of the parking garage that I was confirmed for. I was informed later that you cannot arrive earlier than your scheduled time. I arrive like 20 minutes early so I suppose that was my error. I believe you should be charged for the time versus not being able to get in at all or at least clearly state this.

I was impressed

I was impressed, because I actually couldn't park where I had reserved a parking spot. I had to wait around, then leave and find another parking garage.
So, I called the following day to complain. The representative was so nice, she apologized, then refunded the full amount to my credit card. She then explained that, if I used Spot Hero again, I could call immediately and they would have found me another place to park right then.
Anyway, I was impressed that the customer service was really good...

Confusion in the lot

There was some confusion once I was in the garage because there was signs everywhere saying that every vehicle needed to register at the kiosk. I didn't want to pay again so I just had to trust that the system was working as intended. I didn't get a ticket or towed so everything worked, but I was worried there was a slight chance I wasn't doing things correctly.

Elevator Out of Order

Great experience except the parking lot’s elevator wasn’t working and I had to go up and down two flights of stairs in a formal dress and heels

The issue is that your mobile app is…

The issue is that your mobile app is stuck in the 1990s and requires any letters on license plates to be entered only in lower case. If you enter the letters as they appear on the actual plate, the system allows you to update the vehicle then immediately tells you you still need to enter your plate!?!?!
In 2026? Come on man! Ditch your antiquated UX and stop punishing users who enter the ACTUAL correct characters from their government issued license plates.
No way am I the 1st person to call you out on this.
It's lazy and easy to fix.
I should not have to call support for them to enter my license plate for me.
I just googled, "can a license plate contain lowercase letters?"
You should too...

My code didn't work twice

My code didn't work twice, both going in and coming out. I'll never park in 8 Olive Garage again. If it weren't for a young lady who came to my rescue, I'd still be in the garage. It was terrible.

I am new to parking reservation services. I was not paying attention and needed parking for the following day unfortunately I did not realized it was past 12 AM so my reservation was actually one day off. The next day, I realized my mistake quickly called Customer Service and what a surprise. They could not have been more understanding and made it so simple to correct everything. Boy, why haven’t I been using Spot Hero?

won't use it again

well I looked at the date and it let me order the whole 3 day weekend I ordered it for Friday though Sunday afternoon. there was no word about in and out privelages... after Friday went out and could not get get back in on Saturday morning. the attendant was rude... I told him I paid for the entire weekend. he said tough luck you have to leave. I pride $101.00 for the weekend.. they don't warn you about the in and out privileges on the booking
.. it's in the fine print. I will never use this app again. tried to get a refund but no luck. they burnt me once... never again. used public. lot for $20... that is the way to go. avoid this scam.

Reserved a spot at 1405 Curtis street

Reserved a spot at 1405 Curtis street, Denver. Did not accept the reservation so I paid spot hero $8 for nothing and $16 for the parking. The instructions from spot hero did not match the parking lot machines.

SpotHero came through re: a distressing garage situation

I had a really bizarre and distressing experience with the garage. SFG on E 80th St between 2nd and third Avenue in Manhattan where I reserved a spot through SpotHero.
They tried for 20 minutes to help me on the phone, but they could not reach the proper person.
They immediately refunded the extra charges from the garage, gave me a credit on top of that for the inconvenience, and asked what else they could do.
The issue was that the attendant refused to give me my car keys for ONE HOUR until his machine was working and could take my credit card for my hour delay. In fact, I had to call the police.
SpotHero is following up on the original problem to make sure it never happens to anyone again.

First time using Spot Hero

First time using Spot Hero. Online reservation was easy, however, the garage I booked had another location with an identical name literally across the street! They did not honor my prepayment.
Spot Hero customer service was fantastic. I emailed the receipt, and they refunded the total amount even though it was more expensive than my original reservation.
