**SpotHero is def my hero!** I purchased my first parking spot for an NBA game and I'm so excited to try this out! Ticketmaster, where I got my event tickets was a total parking ripoff. SpotHero has been easy, friendly and straightforward to use, and has reasonable prices and fees! (The total charge for parking with SpotHero was less than *just the fees* Ticketmaster wanted to charge in addition to their parking cost!)

Easy to use, full profile & info about the garage in question, which is often difficult to get else. Reservation provides plenty of flexibility in cancelation. Payment easy to arrange. The only thing is if you need a receipt, the garages don't provide them, so get it from your payment vendor.

Very confusing and predatory. Used it to do parking for a show. It expired during the show and had to buy parking from the lot. Which was cheaper than I got from the app. Complained about it to the app was told I was wrong. Asked my cc to appeal and got denied. So if you want to pay more than the going rate, and be taken advantage of, then SpotHero is the way to go.

SpotHero is a great app for finding parking when it works. However, the experience can be awful when a garage isn't properly integrated with the app. It's frustrating that there's no way to read reviews for specific garages within the app (only stars are visible) to avoid potential problems, and the lack of support when things go wrong is a major drawback.

I always check SpotHero when I'm going somewhere. It's usually cheaper and sometimes more convenient. I've only had a problem with it once, when the lot was full, which was frustrating, but we were able to book a different place quickly, and SpotHero did refund me for it. Besides that, I've had a great experience using SpotHero.

I booked a monthly reservation for $100... I was instructed to email whoever it was, to get the key card. Nobody replied. The next morning when I went to the lot, I was instructed to get a ticket and at the end of the day, press the help button to be let out. The first week was burdensome, but whatever. It was cheap. But the next week or so the help button people became jerks. Then I emailed spothero and was promised my money back and have heard nothing. 😔

Used the button in the app that uses your other navigation app like Google to take me to my parking spot. Ended up 1 hour away from the spot. Missed the event. I purchased tickets to 3 months in advance. Thank you SpotHero, never going to use you again. Also, they made it so hard to refund this. Complete waste of time. Use this app with caution.

I used this app on quite a few times and always found great deals that are much cheaper than the regular parking rates. Never had a problem using the parking pass at the garages. On a recent occasion I had a problem with the parking lot being closed on arrival. SpotHero support was very helpful. They refunded my purchase and credited me the difference for the higher rate that I paid at the airport.

Really helpful to find parking with in and out privileges in Seattle when our hotel had only very expensive valet parking. My only complaint is that the app logged me out just when I needed to scan the qr code for my last exit from the garage. Fortunately no one was behind me and I was able to back up into a parking space to troubleshoot and get logged back in.

Total rip off does not work. I paid in advance for parking in Boston common. When attempting to enter the garage, the system would not accept the scan saying that I was not registered. I attempted several times to rescan, hit the call button and got no response, and with a line of cars behind me had to pay with a regular ticket. Contacted their customer support, and received nothing but questions about whether I did it right. One would think they would know it was never used and refund the money
