Marten Ramp Parking

Charged $ 22. So, the day rate is $ 9 and the evening rate is $ 5. I didn’t see the small notice that you had to be out by 7 pm. I got to my car at 7:10 pm and the machine said it was $ 22. If anything, it should be $ 14 or perhaps just the $ 9 since it’s difficult to see that you have to be out by 7 pm. I was very frustrated. I left a message for the owner/​manager, Casey, to discuss but never received a call back. So, you got my $ 22 but you lost my business for good. I used to love this ramp and park there daily when I worked downtown but apparently the new ownership has a different approach of being unfair and not customer-​oriented.

VERY OVERPRICED NOW — Wow — Just parked in this ramp to see a MN Orchestra coffee concert at 11 am. We were parked a little over 3 hours and he charge was $ 21! At first I thought it was a mistake. We have always used this ramp for Orchestra Hall but will now look for another place to park. This was an outrageous charge for the time we were parked. Unbelievable.

Marten just went through a change of mgmt this last month. They were owned by a family who I got to know over the past few years. They were great business owners and took care of the people who worked downtown. The new owners have pushed a lot of the people who work downtown to other ramps. They charge $ 5 after 4. But if u come at 359 you have to pay about $ 15 – 20 for 3 – 4 hours. They wouldn’t budge on this. I lost my ticket today and usually the attendant trusts me, has me pay the $ 5 and lets me go. Tonight he was rude and combative. He tried to make pay $ 20 for a lost ticket. I’ve lost hundreds of tickets here over the years. This is the first fine I’ve been told to pay. I was the last person from my work to switch lots, but I shall never park here again nor tell my customers where the ramp is. I do miss jake and the old owners. They were so nice.

There’s nothing more fun than coming home to find a note on your downtown apartment door announcing that structural faults were found in your garage, so you have 4 days to find somewhere else to park your car for the next two months.
Yeah.
In a tremendous pinch, the fine folks at Marten Ramp hooked me up with a nights/​weekends contract before I even had a chance to start filling out the paperwork. The price was ridiculously reasonable and the hours insanely flexible. Honestly, with the treatment I got, I would have taken no issue with paying more. It was a big cherry on top finding out they do patrol their ramp and have an escort service available.
I recommended them to everyone else in my building without a moment’s hesitation. I hope they’re as pleased as I am.
