Lincoln Place — Local services in Miami Beach

On January 23, 2025, I attended the annual winter mortgage conference at the Loews Hotel in Miami Beach and chose to park at the Lincoln Place Parking Garage. Arriving shortly before 10:00 AM, I noted their pricing sign, which indicated a $25 fee for a 10-hour stay. Throughout the day, I returned to my car a couple of times and observed that the pricing sign had been covered, but I didn’t think much of it at the time.

Upon exiting the garage, I was dismayed to see a $40 charge on the checkout screen. I called over an employee named Maritz to address what I believed was a mistake. He claimed that no price breakdown had ever been displayed. When I requested a payment receipt, he stated that the machine was out of paper and asked me to write down my email address, promising that the owner would send the receipt. Unsurprisingly, I never received it.

The following week, I passed by the garage and noticed that the payment menu was back in its original place, where I had first seen it. When I went online to write a review, I was astounded to find numerous accounts describing similar experiences with this garage.

It’s baffling how, in a city known for its proactive and resident-oriented government, such deceptive practices are allowed to persist daily in the heart of our beautiful city. This is not just about a $15 overcharge; it’s about the fraud happening every day and the impression it leaves about our city. I urge the authorities to take immediate action—cases like this are unacceptable! I will be reaching out directly to Commissioners Alex Fernandez and Kristen Rosen Gonzalez and encourage anyone else who has been scammed by this business to share their experiences and demand...

Terrible Experience. Avoid This Garage!

I had the worst experience parking here. Their website advertises $25 for 24 hours, but I was charged $60 for just 11 hours. When I inquired about the discrepancy, I was told it was because it was a Sunday. There was no mention of this on their site. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place. If I could give negative stars, I would.The staff was incredibly unhelpful. I spoke to three different attendants, and each gave me a different reason for the charge. When I tried to contact customer service, all I got was a voicemail and no response. This place is a complete scam. Do...

Please BEWARE of this parking deck at 1601 Washington Ave. Miami Beach FL 33139. Me and my family went to Miami Beach yesterday evening, after leaving a sign at the pay machine on Floor D2 says cash only and pay with debit or credit card at the exit. At the exit a guy sitting there took the receipt and the credit card insert both in the machine gave me a receipt back then minutes later I had a unknown charge from Tillys for 28.04 on my card then another charge of $113 tried to come through which was blocked by my credit card company. Scammers need to go to work and stop trying to leach off hard...
