Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 137 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently complain about unexpected and expensive fees added to their parking costs without any clear up-front disclosure before entering the lots. People also report highly frustrating issues with digital payment systems and broken kiosks, which often lead to unexpected extra fines and double charges. Consumers note that the absolute lack of visible signage makes it extremely difficult to understand parking rates and rules properly. Some reviewers were happy with the customer support team when staff members were respectful, answered questions clearly, and successfully resolved billing errors. A few individuals mentioned that certain customer service agents were exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful when handling disputes.

I was charged $26.25 for event parking with no signage present, with confusing rates posted on the parking signage. There is no special event parking rate on this sign. Customer service is incredibly rude getting this issued resolved. I will be avoiding this company at all costs.

Insufficient Internet service to…

Insufficient Internet service to utilize the website in the parking lot where they are displaying their QR codes. So effectively you can't pay for parking, and when you get back to your car there is a ticket for $64.50 when the one day parking fee is only $10. Horrible customer service as well when you phone them. Their "chat" window only has an AI bot; you cannot interact in text form with them since there are no humans manning the chat. Which means you don't have a record of your interaction with them.
Horrible company.

The government should look into this company. Hilton hotels appear to be teamed up with them on certain Hilton property locations. Shame on Hilton for teaming with this shady venture. I called and you cannot even understand verbally what their " customer service " even says. Somewhere overseas. Zero English. Solution: careful which Hilton property you stay at find another hotel and stay away from any " metropolis owned / managed parking.... I paid when I parked there. A month later I get a random text that I am being charged for parking....appears again...so I called their customer service they say " Tennessee " nope....a few days later I get a letter saying that I owe $65 for a $15.00 parking, plus $50.00 in " notice fee "..... yeah right.... shady as chit.

This company has deceptive ways for extorting money from customers. The parking attendants are ill-informed and I was incorrectly slapped with a notice from this company when their own app was not allowing me to pay to extend my parking. Their business ethics are shameful

Mediocre service.

This garage management company delivers a consistently frustrating experience: monthly customers are sometimes billed at the hourly rate, the gates frequently malfunction, and on top of steep monthly fees they tack on an unreasonable “service fee.” Worse yet, property has been stolen from vehicles and management refuses to share CCTV footage, showing a complete lack of accountability. Stay away from this service if you can.

Absolute Nightmare - Customer Support Does not Know Where Their Own Parking Lots Are Located

The title says it all, I was forced to pay them so much money temporarily because they did not realize their platform lists the INCORRECT ADDRESS for one of their parking lots they allow people to pay for monthly. Their suppor team clearly has absolutely zero clue what is happening address-wise in your city -- they are only equipped to help you start your parking visit remotely. They will even start your visit remotely to close your support ticket and get rid of you, meanwhile you are trying to tell them you're not sure you're in the right place -- they don't care.

Huge scam

Huge scam! Whatever you do, don't park with them. They auto-charge you on leaving the garage and in my case (and many others, if you do even the most cursory of Google searches) they way overcharge. In my case, I was charged $15.99 when the sign clearly stated $2/hr and I was there for 3.5 hours. My specific experience was in the Sundial Garage in St Pete, Florida, but the terrible reviews span the country. Hard to believe such an evil company is allowed to continue to operate...

Park literally with anyone else. It's not worth it - trust me.

No clear signs on what parking cost

No clear signs on what parking cost. They just let you into the garage and then the app displays no amounts per hour. So, to be safe, I parked in a 2 hour visitor spot for exactly two hours and then was charged an absurd amount for those two hours. I called to question it and was hung up on. Absolutely dismal and dishonest company.

Charging for car I no longer own.

The company misreads license plates and if you pay one parking fee one time, they associate your cc with that license plate forever. And as I recently found out, they charge you even if you sold the car months ago. To get things right they require you to jump through hoops showing bill of sale and dmv records to try to correct their mistake. They can’t cancel your account even though I never created an account. Insane. They tie all your info together and think they can charge you whenever without performing basic lookups.

Careless with my car. Poor customer service.

My garage was acquired by Metropolis a few months ago and they have been a nightmare to work with. They couldn’t figure out how to set up my billing profile for months resulting in my subscription nearly being cancelled twice.

Now I am on vacation and a mysterious request came in to pick up my car and the valet is about to hand it over to someone random.

The worst part is there is no way to contact the garage when you are a customer. You have to go through their customer service center which is offshore, and how can’t do much of anything other than review your account details. To get anything don’t they have to escalate you to a manager which results in you being on hold for long periods of time. Every single time I call the resolution has been that the supper center reaches out to an area manager who should be in touch directly. I never hear back, then have to call support to get an update.

no clear parking instructions prior to entering. No notice that you cannot pay cash nor that there is no live person onsite to assist. Called customer service and they were not helpful, just kept asking what my license plate was. I did not need to give that to them since I immediately left and there should be no charge. They offer no free handicap parking. Told me to park on the street and walk.

Careful using their parking garage

Know their parking garage!
If you use their facilities be sure to enter the correct plate number. I accidentally entered the plate number with two letters reversed. Unfortunately, I caught it later, but I still received a bill then for a vehicle that was never in there parking structure if you were to go off the plate number that was wrong. Good news is after calling and emailing help I was refunded
