There should be a section for no stars. This parking lot is a rip off. We parked at number 23 in the lot. We then went to a metal box with slots on it and placed four dollars in number 23 as the signs in the lot dictate. The lot we were in only had two exits and you could not move from one lot to the next without exiting and going into the street. When we came back from a nice meal we found a citation stating we had not paid. Apparently we were to go to the next lot and pay at a different box which supposedly also had a number 23 on it. The citation said pay by a certain date or you owe more. (Up to $100 if you don't pay by a certain date.) It is not as if we were the only people doing this. There were people waiting behind us to place their money in the same metal box. At minimum there needs to be a sign placed on the metal box which we used stating that the place to pay for the other number 23 is in the adjacent lot. I believe the city needs to look out for the citizens of Raleigh and either get McLaurin Parking to modify their agreement or cancel their contract all together. My preference is for the city to cancel their contract.
