Melissa H.

I am a Gold Member (soon to be Platinum) with your franchise. I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the interaction I had with an employee named Maria today at the Houston Hobby Parking Spot 1 location. On Monday, October 27, I was provided a paper receipt instead of using the usual QR code or app-based entry, as the system was down at the time. Upon returning today, I struggled to locate the small receipt in my purse while trying to exit the lot. I pressed the call assistance button several times and also attempted to reach the location by phone using the number connected to the app. Unfortunately, Maria did not answer. After about 15 minutes, I located my paper receipt and successfully used the QR code to exit the first gate. However, there was a second exit gate, and I misplaced the receipt again while searching through my bag. I continued to press the call button for help as cars began to line up behind me, and I even backed out of the lane to allow others to exit since it was busy and I did not want to hold up traffic. When Maria finally came out, I attempted to explain the situation -- including the delay, the system issue earlier in the week, and my difficulty locating the paper receipt. Rather than assisting me professionally, she responded in a passive-aggressive and dismissive manner, questioning why I didn't keep better track of the receipt. I politely explained that I normally use the QR code through the app without issue, and as a frequent traveler (I'm on the road nearly 50% of the year for work), I have always valued the convenience and reliability of your service. Maria continued to argue with me and stated that she "did not know how to work the system" and that I needed to find my receipt again. When I finally located it and handed it to her, I asked for her manager's contact information. She refused to provide a phone number and only gave me a name -- Hakeem -- and stated that I could "try Monday through Friday" to reach him. After exiting the location, I called the number again, and Maria finally answered. She recognized my voice and repeated that she did not know her manager's schedule. I am extremely disappointed in how this was handled. I spent a significant amount of time stranded at the gate pressing the call button for help while Maria, who I could see inside, appeared to ignore my calls. Only when I reached the final exit gate did she come out, and her tone was unprofessional and discourteous throughout the interaction. As a loyal customer and frequent traveler with your brand, I expect a higher level of professionalism and responsiveness. I would appreciate if this matter could be reviewed and addressed appropriately, and I would like confirmation that it has been escalated to management for follow-up. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me directly if any additional details are needed.

ALL THE BAD REVIEWS SPEAK LOUD. NEVER PARKING HERE AGAIN. THEY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. I will never park here again this seems the best getting worse over the past year. The lines continue to get longer with less vans.

Dropping off my car was quick and easy. The shuttle was by my car before I even got my bags out.

Slower and more expensive than eco park. That's hard to beat. The line was so long families have to line up close to the road. Dangerous!

Make sure you get a ticket that marks the location of the car to give the shuttle when your return.

FastPark & Relax is always an inexpensive and convenient airport parking option…read more The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the shuttles pick you up fast from both the parking lot and airport. The shuttle drivers are always in a great mood and happy to help with any luggage you may have. The cost is very reasonable and they have a rewards system that's easy to rack up free parking. I'm talking weeks of free parking and the rewards don't expire. The parking is covered and gated so you can rest assured your car will be safe while you're away. FastPark & Relax is my airport parking go-to. The perfect option.

This is hands-down my go-to parking spot anytime I'm flying out of Hobby. I live about 20 minutes…read moreaway, and on most travel days, I can make it from my front door to the security line in about 30 minutes flat--that includes parking, catching the shuttle, and walking into the terminal. That kind of consistency is rare, and it's exactly why I keep coming back. Fast Park & Relax is reliable, easy, and honestly kind of a travel hack. The shuttle is always right there--never a long wait when I arrive, and somehow always waiting when I return. I park here often enough to rack up points and usually cash in the rewards for free parking on weekend trips or vacations. It's a small perk that makes a big difference. Now, a quick PSA: Don't be that person trying to organize your luggage, and repack your carry-on while the shuttle is waiting right behind you. Do that stuff at home. When you stall the shuttle, you're holding up more than just yourself--and these drivers are on a tight loop. Speaking of the drivers--they work hard. They load bags, navigate traffic, and keep the service running smooth. Make sure to show some appreciation with a tip, either in cash or via the Venmo QR code posted inside the shuttle. It's easy and well-deserved. Bottom line: if you're flying out of Hobby and not using Fast Park, you're probably making your life harder than it needs to be.

Downtown, Fourth Ward

Hiring Process is through A HR Representative name Erica Hernandez! the interviewing mgr was great!…read more However Erica needs to be replaced. First she emailed me that there was a problem with my I Form. I corrected that issue! Second, there's a question on the application that ask you what days would you prefer off and then your not selected because of your choice of days you've choose off instead of informing you that you have to be available 24/7 and give you the opportunity to say fine or you decline the position!, she emails me that I wasn't chosen because I answered off on the weekends. Very disheartening! Inspite of the poor reviews by present and former employees I chose to give them a try. Trust and believe that unfortunately all of the media reviews about this company that's used for the (IAH) airport shuttle (EcoPark) are true. interviewed a week ago!

SP+ Parking has been my favorite parking lot for all downtown activities. It's like I can spot a…read moreSP+ sign everywhere I drive. This is just one of few other SP+ Parking lots across from First United Methodist Church. You may see it as Church Lot at 1400 Travis Street on Downtown Parking Directory. The entrance is at 1421 Milam Street, across from another SP+ properties. Ain't it cool? Just a short walking distance to MetroRAIL's Bell Station on Main Street if you didn't want to walk up and down the boulevards. I normally walk about a mile to Hermann Square at City Hall, Tranquility Park, Sam Houston Park and the Houston LGBT Pride Parade. It's very important to know the direction of parade route and find correct exit and get on the freeway without getting stuck with street closures. As many parking lots in Downtown Houston operate, the prices drop on weekends. The machine accepts both paper and plastic - dollar bills and credit cards. **45th review of 2018**
