Tabor Center Parking Garage

Upon leaving the garage the ticketing machine said my ticket could not be read. I called for assistance several times (because I kept getting disconnected), the operators were great at reciting policy but my biggest concern was getting the hell out of the garage. I had to pay the lost ticket amount, $ 26 even though the all day price is only $ 10, so that was odd. Called the number on the ticket 303−572−6680 and they told me to email
. I have done so all week, no response.
So its been a week and I finally received a call today that my refund is in the mail. So the email above is good and I bumped up my rating — for karma’s sake

This parking garage is terrible. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. If you do the early bird parking they hold your car hostage until 3pm. If I am there at 7 why in the world do they care how long I stay? It doesn’t make financial sense for them.
I have had to leave early to get a sick child at school and because of power issues at work. they say… Oh well sorry about your luck. You will have to pay full price.
That’s it… I’m not parking here anymore. It seems that LAZ has the monopoly on parking in Denver. I’m thinking something needs to be done about this. DO NOT park here for early bird!!!

Found this underground lot for an afternoon meeting. They had spots on the D level not too far down. I was a bit confused by my charges. The attendant said that is what it’s suppose to be for your time. Sign says $ 2 for 20 min. Why was I charged $ 20 for 1hour 31 min :(there is no number to contact online or the receipt. A meter parking spot is more and more reasonable these days.

I park here pretty regularly. The customer service is terrible but the location is great. The signage can be very confusing if you aren’t already familiar with the garage. The early bird rate is pretty good compared to other garages close by, but the lines getting out can be pretty bad and if you end up checking out at 7:01 because you’ve been sitting in line to leave for 15 minutes, they will refuse to let you have the early bird rate –that is, if there are any employees on duty at all!
All in all: good location, awful service.

Early bird parking expires. So even if you are there before 9a but you don’t leave until 7p the rate goes back to the full price of $ 20 for the day. I didn’t see this posted anywhere, and when I called to inquire I was appalled by their lack of customer service. Will never park there again.

The good: car wash on bottom deck that’ll take care of your car while you’re out and about; generally OK weekend prices (and not busy on weekends)
The bad: expensive, crowded, poor signage, and narrow, narrow parking spaces.
Denver could clearly use another couple of parking decks downtown.

Just all around terrible. Customer service is a joke, in fact, most of the people who work there don’t even know how the validation works. They pretend they can’t lift the gate when something goes wrong with the machine and you are screwed out of money, but they can!
This parking garage is crazy expensive, confusing to get around, and just unpleasant!
Anyone who says they like parking here is either an employee, or they get a free parking pass from the companies located in the Tabor Center.

RIP OFF!!! Used the gym & had validation for 2 hours, stayed for an extra hour & they were going to charge me $ 16 for that hour. The manager said I could stay parked and get the early bird rate of $ 8 if I left later. Left during the timeframe and they charged me $ 19!!! For parking in Denver? That’s OUTRAGEOUS! What’s even worse is that I explained everything to the manager on duty and she said there was nothing she could do since my ticket had been validated. That was the rate, she said. My question is, if the managers are useless and can’t assist customers, why employ anybody at all? Seems the machine has more authority than any person there. Just awful. Park somewhere else.

I love me some Tabor Center Parking!
If you are lucky enough to park in the garage during the work week, take advantage of the car washing and auto repair while you work. The guys do a great job, go over and above expectations, and the job of multi-​tasking with literally no effort… simply, ROCKS! The early bird parking makes you go all the way down to level E but covered warm parking on single digit days is just wicked awesome… the end!
I don’t work in the Tabor Center anymore but I still like to use this as my Parking Central, let’s call it, when I am going anything downtown. First, after 5PM and on weekends the parking is $ 6. Covered parking for $ 6…sign me up! The location is prime. You are right in the middle of Downtown and only two, easy walking blocks, from Lodo. If you have to go any further, hello… there’s a shuttle stop right there.
Although I am one that takes a picture of the location marker when I park, the Tabor Center offers parking reminders need the elevators. A nice extra step courtesy for those that forget constantly where they park.
There are entrances and exits on both the Larimier and the Lawrence side making access and convenience simply marvelous.

You’re on your own if you park here. I had a 2 hour validation on a weekend from the health club upstairs. When I went to leave there were long lines because the machines were not accepting credit cards. I wound up going over by 3 minutes and was charged $ 5. I spoke to the manager, who was uncooperative and encouraged me to take the matter up with the health club (as though the parking garage’s problems where the responsibility of the health club). Being charged the equivalent of $ 100 an hour makes me understand the other negative reviews of this garage. They are robots so don’t expect any help if you have to speak to a person.

This is an easy parking garage to get in and out of, but that’s about the only positive thing about it.
There are no signs anywhere in here and if you don’t know where you’re going it’s easy to just wander around looking for the elevators and then when you’re ready to leave good luck finding your way out.
It’s rather expensive to park all day during the work week at $ 17

OUTRAGEOUS! The customer service at this garage sucks!!! The early bird rate applies only if you get in before 9am BUT stay till 2pm!!! I ended up payign $ 17 the full daily rate for 4 hours of parking!!! It’s a rip-​off. there arre several parking garages around in a 1-​block radius where the parking is affordable/​reasonable and staff is courteous.

Ok, so this place has by far the best weekend rate ($ 5)
HOWEVER… watch out if you’re paying in cash because tonight the guy working in one of the ‘cash only’ booths tried stealing $ 5 and pocketing it for himself…
I saw him scan my ticket, and the sign read «$ 5», I handed him a $ 20 and he gives me a $ 10 back. Thinking he just made a simple mistake I politely asked for the rest of my change. He said something about how there was an extra $ 5 fee tonight. When I asked him why they didn’t change the price on the sign to include this «fee» and let customer know the real price for parking, he just shrugged and said, «Want a receipt? Here…»
…Umm Yeah buddy, nice try but the receipt you gave me was a previous customers receipt from 30 minutes prior and you tacked on a «baseball fee of $ 5»…
I then told him that I saw him scan my ticket for only $ 5, and called him out on trying to steal my money for his own gain. I told him I wasn’t going anywhere until he gave me my money back… after about 5 minutes he said «Fine, I’ll give you money out of my own pocket…»
I wonder how much money he stole from innocent people tonight with this scam…
watch out for this bastard…

UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES
As a parking garage, it is located at a prime location, well within high profile business perimeters. From here, you have access to virtually anything in downtown denver.
Giving the business owners of this parking garage supervillain powers.
My personal experience was driving in and parking due to the advertisement for Cheesecake factory parking validation. I went up to cheescake (through a confusing series of elevators and mazelike parking) and asked them about the validation. I was told to repark my car because I would be charged since validation didn’t begin until 5pm. They gave me a validation card anyway.
Yup, I scrambled, and after handing the validation card to the wonderfully cold lady sitting at the parking exit, she brought the manager on the phone. 4 dollars. For walking up and down the stairs/​elevator. Their 10 minute grace period didn’t apply to a 16 minute park – and since they charged 2 dollars per 15 minutes, it came to 4 dollars.
I spent the next 5 minutes discussing this with the manager, and there was no leniency given. The claim that everything was clearly marked and written on signs seemed enough for them. Despite the fact that the manager stated that «this happens all the time».
Do NOT support businesses like this. I, obviously, will never be parking in this garage again.
