    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.

    They are getting worse and worse. Less busses by far over past 5 years using. I stand there longer and longer to flights.

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

    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!

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**

    Oh, The Galleria! My ex-husband is from Houston and I've…read morebeen to The Galleria many, many times. In fact, I started going long before I knew my husband. My dad also lived in Houston and we'd often do shopping or eating at the mall. My daughter (who is now 30) loved (& still does) skating at the ice rink during the holidays. It's a magically fun experience. The Galleria is always incredibly decorated for the holidays. I still get to Houston 1-2 times a year and always enjoy visiting The Galleria. The Galleria itself has not only the ice rink but office space, two hotels, lots of places to eat, and shopping. The retail offerings range from shops like H&M, Macy's, and Nordstrom to high-end luxury shops like Gucci & Chanel. We were there just a few months ago and it was just as fun and exciting as my first visit! Gang, there are so many stores here. Like crazy amounts (a few hundred). It's very large and easy to navigate and of course gets extremely busy during peak times. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

    Shopping can be hit or miss, and on this particular day, it was definitely a miss. My friends and I…read moreare dedicated bargain shoppers, and despite our best efforts, the Houston Galleria wasn't giving up any deals. With only about an hour before leaving Houston, our shopping mission was more of a speed run than a leisurely browse. Even without scoring any purchases, the Houston Galleria remains an impressive destination. The moment you step inside, you experience bright lights, multiple levels of stores, and a steady stream of shoppers that create an energetic, bustling atmosphere. Beyond shopping, the mall offers entertainment options such as its iconic indoor ice-skating rink, making it easy to spend an entire day there. One of the Galleria's biggest strengths is its variety. Luxury retailers like Chanel and Louis Vuitton share space with more accessible brands such as Banana Republic and American Eagle, offering something for nearly every budget and style. Whether you're on a focused shopping mission or simply window-shopping, there's plenty to explore...even if, in our case, we left empty-handed. The dining options are equally diverse, ranging from food-court favorites to sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack to Chic-fil-a. While we didn't find the bargains we were hoping for, our fast-and-furious shopping adventure was filled with laughter and great conversation, and the kind of fun that comes from spending time with good friends. Sometimes spending quality time with friends is the best find of all.
