Tough Times at the Parking Lot

It was a fun night had by all of us until we made the call to the parking attendant. "This call will be recorded," said the automated voice. None of us wanted to be making this call. We'd rather be thinking about the pool game we just lost to some very worthy opponents. We'd rather be thinking about our friend's 30th birthday we were out celebrating. We'd rather be anywhere else than trapped on the wrong side of the arm of this parking garage.

The thing about parking garages is — you either end up on the right side or the wrong side of the arm. And if you park your car at 808 South Olive Street past 11:59 p.m. on any given weekend night (including Fridays), you are on the wrong side of the arm.

Don't believe the false advertising — you are not just going to pay $15 if you park at 808 South Olive Street past 11:59 p.m. on any given weekend night (including Fridays). You may pay $30, you my $45, you may even pay $60. Who knows? There are no rules, only fine print. And the thing about fine print is...you only ever see it when you're on the wrong side of the arm.

Don't make the same mistake we made. If you're going to be out in DTLA past 11:59 p.m. on any given weekend night (including Fridays), make sure they won't charge you $45 or $60 or however much more while you're still on the right side of the arm. Because once you're on the wrong side of the arm, they make the rules. And you have to pay. And there's nothing you can do about it.

It's...

Scam. Do not waste your time and money with this lot. I naively made a booking on Spot Hero to avoid all the scams reported in the many 1* reviews for this lot. Upon arrival, neither the QR from the app, nor the QR from my confirmation email would scan. I called for assistance, only to be connected to the Philippines, just to be told I had to call Spot Hero. Of course, Spot Hero was "closed for the day," leaving me with no recourse. After wasting all this time, I was unable to cancel my online booking because I exceeded the 30 minutes grace period. Needless to say, I am done with Joe's Parking. If you want to throw money a day to support a very shady corporation, park here at...

Early 2016 Worst parking ever, one of the two elevators been out of service for the last three years, and the other one breaks down every other week, we have to take the stairs all the way to 8th floor. Employees very careless.

7/12/2016 Both elevators doesn't work for a week now. They are good only in raising monthly rates.

Worst employees ever, just like Joe's auto park, nobody cares.

3/15/2017 One elevator still out of order (never worked for the last 3-4 years). and the other, not working, I had to take the stairs to the 8th floor. Employees don't care, asked for help, unfortunately I got same answer "I'm sorry". Paying $180 per month for a parking without...
