We stayed at the Element Times Sq and they wanted $70 for overnight parking across the street. I decided to lookup Citypark and iy was $29 prepaid on 41st. Easy decision, easy location.

good experience

Wish there had been more options available in the location that I was looking for. The garage attendant at the garage that I ended up using was very nice and my car was waiting for me at my pick up time.

Horrible sevice..

We spent 5 wonderful days in New York City and had an amazing time with our kids. Unfortunately, our experience at River Place Garage on the last day completely ruined the ending of our trip.

We made a reservation and actually left about 2 hours earlier than our reserved time. However, because we entered just 5 minutes before the reservation start time, we were charged an extra $14 when picking up the car.

There was no clear notice or warning about any early entry fee. What made it worse was that the person picking up the car had already tipped the staff, only to be told afterward to go to the counter and pay more.

The staff at the counter were quite rude and seemed only focused on collecting the extra charge, without any effort to explain or help.

It’s very frustrating that they charge extra for entering 5 minutes early, yet provide no consideration or adjustment for leaving 2 hours early. This felt extremely unfair and left a very negative final impression on an otherwise great trip.

As a parking facility used by many travelers, this kind of experience doesn’t just affect one transaction—it can leave a lasting negative impression of New York City itself. That’s very disappointing.

I would strongly recommend others to be cautious when parking here.

Great location

Great location, large garage, plenty of staff, and one of the fastest pickups out of any subterrain garage.

Check in was horrible

I was upset that the gentleman had me leave the parking garage to confirm the reservation. I was having difficulty because you had No Wifi for customer use and the signal was terrible. In addition he refused to allow me to walk up the ramp to get service, he had me leave the parking garage and return once I had the QR code confirmation. Once I returned his co- worker didn't even ask for the QR code and gave me a ticket and sent me on my way.

First time used and got scammed

First time to NY and purchased parking via APP. Drove into two garages along East 53rd street. On each occasion showed them the app booking and they said it was not their car park booking. Drove into City Parking, 420 and 53rd street at 06.42 pm and the parking attendant said, YES, this was the right place with the right booking. Went to pick up my car the next day and a new parking attendant said nope wrong car park. Would not release my car until I paid $49, as I was heading off to the Airport to catch my flight back to the UK, so was forced to pay. I emailed them asking for my money back for dishonest information having paid twice. Customer services say 'NO' sorry about the mistake, and the assistant will be spoken to, but you ain't getting any of your money back!

Quick and stinky

They’re quick, and haven’t broken or scratched anything on the car. I would give 5 stars, except the garage reeks of garbage and makes the car smell bad when I receive it. I have to drive with the windows open for several minutes. This is the location at 101 w 56.

Unacceptable wait time for Car

Park my car in the garage and gave the attendance specific information on when I was leaving the next morning. I asked if I needed to call he said no just text. I woke up in the morning and sent a text before coming down with about 15 minutes advance notice. I had to wait half an hour for my car when I got down. Unacceptable. I used a competitor parking option the next night.

I pulled into the garage and no one was…

I pulled into the garage and no one was there to take my car. Another car pulled in behind me and we both sat there. Waiting. A man walked in with a cup of coffee and went through a locked door and still we waited. There was a paper sign on the desk that said to call Mohamed. I called the number twice and no answer. About 15 minutes later someone came to take my car. I was late to a very important appointment on 6th ave because of this.

Went smooth with a hiccup

When I reached door was closed, then I had to call them to open, but the person said there is no space available, even though I had a reservation

I had to explain him that I made reservation through their website to get the door open and park the car.

Such an amazing 0lace

The place was super easy to find which was good because I was running late to dinner with friends. The attendant was courteous and super helpful. He even made sure that I got in my car safely when I picked it up.

I would definitely use your garage again if I am in the area.

Fun day in NYC

The parking attendant was very gracious and parked our car on time and then received our car when we came back. It’s a good experience.
