Badine Lot - Park First, LLC

Park here. Don't complicate things.

Rates seem to vary depending on what is going on in the area. I think the prices are reasonable. It is well lit and the spots are clearly defined, and that is about the best that I can say.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! Will never park here again!!! Paid the wrong group because there was ZERO SIGNS in front of the cars SAYING these 20 spots were theirs. Customers in front of me said the machine wasn’t working so I read the closest sign which was a different company. Try to do the right thing and they still find a way to screw you! I’ll use hotel parking next time! ABSOLUTE GARBAGE HERE. (Park First on Elysian Fields, not even found on a google map!)

This is not “Premium Parking”! This company “Premier Parking” bought a small section of the lot and they just go around booting people. I went online and paid for an extra two hours but apparently I paid the “wrong company” which happens to have a nearly identical name. The front of the parking lot is “Premium” and the back is “Premier”. They removed the booths to pay when you leave just so they can make a quick buck doing this. Why have you pay for the actual amount of time you parked when they can just make you guess and then charge $150 to take a boot off your car if you go over by 15 mins. I’ll pay half the price and park across the street from now on.
Oh and if you want to dispute the boot, you have to pay them $50!

Do not park here overnight unless you want your window smashed in! Security is a joke, they won't do anything! We called the company and all they do is put boots on cars, real helpful to your customers! How about a refund for your false advertisement of securty!

🚨DO NOT PARK HERE!!!! 🚨the parking companies do not automatically charge you if you are late, they boot your vehicle and then charge you almost $150.00.

High prices compared to the premium parking lot right next to it. They are committing day light robbery by coercing parking fee even for a 5 min enter and exit. Save time and money by parking in the three other parking lots next to this one.

Thought we paid for premium parking. We parked with park first and didn’t realize it due to poor signage and their machine being out of order. Our car was booted.

Do not park here!!!! This woman and her kids had just returned from the aquarium. She opens her can door and the parking stub goes flying down the street in the wind.. She chased it but she had her small children to worry about.. The parking lot attendant saw the whole thing and told her it would be $100.00 because she lost her ticket.. The woman and children are in tears by this point. The woman didn't have $100.00 . These savages had her van towed!!! The other employees standing at the guard shack were giggling as they watched.. One of them was recording the event... Absolute extortion and theft... These people are savages!!! I asked for their main office number and was given a fake number... Do not park here!!!

Got trapped in the lot for an hour with all but one exit blocked and that exit's machine broken. Multiple other people were stuck, too. Assistance number went to voicemail with a full mailbox. Broken pay station refused to process payment. Attendant never came back to the booth for an hour--the security guard at the hotel next door eventually found her for us. Worst parking experience ever.

It's been years since I parked here but decided to try it out again. I wondered why it wasn't even half full. Now I know! Outrageous rates!!!! I paid $45 for parking from 5:30pm - 11:30 pm on a Friday night. 6 hours...there are much cheaper options very nearby that I will stick with from now on.

Never park here. it's way too expensive compared to the parking fee of the one next to it. It charged me $18 for 2hours and 15 minutes ($5 audobon validation already deducted from it) while the one next to it only charged me $5 ( with the $5 audobon ticket validation)

BEWARE this lot. Lots of interesting people walking around and looking in cars. The indoor garage across the street is more secure. Also alot of booted cars.

Avoid at all cost. Parked for less than 10 minutes to pick up my girlfriend from work at the Little Gem. Booted and charged $120. Parking lot was completely empty.
