Olympic Garage

Am I stupid? Maybe.
The sign said that parking was $ 10 after 5pm, and it said that weekend parking 0 – 2 hours was $ 6. I checked in at 3:50pm on a Saturday expecting to pay $ 16. Instead, when I returned to be car, the machine tried to charge me $ 26.
That’s weird, I thought. I double-​checked the sign. $ 26 was the amount for 6 – 8 hours of weekend parking, so apparently I wasn’t getting the overnight rate. So I pressed the button to talk to a person over the intercom. The man told me that was normal and hung up. I tried again and now it said $ 32. I tried the intercom again and this time he said I should drive up to the manned exit booth and he’d sort it out. I did that. When I arrived, the man berated me more for being stupid, and said that most of his customers didn’t have a problem with it. He also insisted on charging me $ 32 (which is the amount for 8 – 10 hours — I’d now been there for 8 hours and 5 minutes). The best other option he offered me was to give me a slip and I’d pay later, and I could complain to someone before I did it, then. I looked at the fine print and it added another $ 5 fee, so I declined this option.
In the end, I apologized for making his job harder (since he’s just a gate person) and wished him a good night, and he responded by telling me again about how the sign text is obviously only talking about people who arrive after 5 and leave before 3. Sigh.

I REEEEALY hate writing a negative review. This one… easy. AND, yes I learned my lesson-​and no I’m not a cheapskate.
Stayed across the street at Crown Plaza-​garage was full due to convention, valet told us to «park next door at Olympic, only $ 10 overnight (theirs is $ 45 overnight)». Sign says «after 5» (5p-​3a) $ 10.
You don’t get that rate-​unless you leave by 3a. Then, you’ll be paying $ 39 for the weekend 12−24hrs. Not very clear-​so be warned…

Today, after paying for parking, I got to my vehicle and found that it was broken into. The back driver side window was completely busted open with glass all over the ground.
I called the police and then proceeded to call the parking attendant for the garage. The parking attendant did not even offer to do anything for me, or even offer me a place to wait. It took Seattle Police 1.5 hours to arrive. That left me waiting BY MYSELF at the garage with no idea when police would arrive.
What if this had been at night? I’m no delicate flower, but Olympic should not have left a person alone waiting by themselves. Instead, he told me to call him back when the police arrived.
After police arrived, I called him again. He said there was nothing he could do (surprise, surprise). I know garages waive all liability, but COME ON.
When I finished with the police, which was another ½ hr, it had officially been 2 hours since paying my original parking fee. I put the ticket back into the machine to leave the facility, but the machine said I owed more from what I already paid. He did not reimburse me for my parking because I «already paid my ticket.»
What the hell? He should have reimbursed me and I’m very disappointed. Never parking here again.
