Scummy company with outrages charges. Parked in a side street I had before that had free parking…read moreafter a certain time, turns out one side is free the other side isn't the sign numbers were only one number apart and it turns out the only option for that side was 3 hours at $18.50. Parked for only half an hour, no way would I have parked there and paid for 3 hours of time knowing that. No option for any time less than 3 hours is ridiculous and an awful business decision. I would have been willing to pay an hours worth of time had I known. Will never park in a lot or street owned by this company again. I would rather miss an event than give this company any money.

We had a small group at noon on March 22, 2026 and Rob was great about answering our many questions and curiosities! His next tour at 1:30pm was huge so we were lucky to have a more intimate gathering! Now I need to figure out a reason to have a party there and rent the space. So cool.

It was designed by NY architects & opened in 1925. However it was closed when we arrived Monday at 10:30 we came back in the afternoon and walked inside.

Ten original benches line the walls of the Great Hall holding 300 standing & 165 seated people.. hours are limited because this venue is rented out The original 1925 Barkalow Brothers Newsstand is featured on the west wall. The newsstand has been slightly restored but remains in its' original form. This area is great for a buffet or display. The Great Halls' ceiling is lined with Spanish trusses, each imprinted with antique locomotives. The famous Platt Gardens are here.

I NEVER leave bad reviews, but I just can't understand how I was treated by this company. We parked…read morein their lot, paid for parking through their app (which is the only way to do it, at least in this specific lot). I came back out and had a ticket. I called at least 10 times, left at least 3 messages, emailed numerous times to all the email addresses I could find - and no one ever got back to me. I have screenshots of the paid-for parking. I finally went to pay for parking on their website just so I wouldn't get towed in the future, and we had a ticket in there from a different day too - a day we didn't even leave the house - and we had definitely not received a ticket on our car considering our car was in our own driveway all day. To this day, they still will not return any of my messages. We are downtown at the ICCU Arena a LOT, and spend a lot of money in this specific lot - and I will now walk blocks rather than giving them any money.

Two family members and I received parking tickets in an unmarked lot where we've parked…read moreoccasionally for more than 10 years, at 9th and State, on a weekend morning. I contacted Republic Parking immediately and Dee replied saying there were "several permit parking only" signs in the lot. I went back to the lot, took lots of photos and sent them to her. They showed the lot entrance, and every single parking space with no signs anywhere. She repied with two photos of faded, small signs low to the ground and not near the entrance or any of the parking spaces, and the signs say nothing about a permit being required. Dee wouldn't budge, so I filed a complaint with the BBB. They closed the case without making a decision. (Thanks, that was a big help, BBB!) In the 4 months since our tickets were issued, neither Republic Parking nor the client (Global Travel) has updated any signage in the lot. You think that after seeing my photos, from a driver's perspective, they'd make a good faith effort to mark the lot.
