central parking systems EXPRESS PARK A DAY is shorter than it used to be apparently, Denver, Colorado

Dear Josh,
Thanks for your reply.  Agreed if the "daily" meant Calendar day, then 3x14 would indeed be $42, but the signage and the ticket itself said nothing about their definition of day.  It was $4/hr and $14/daily MAX.

Maybe I was naive, and I have been so in the past.

The hotel parking attendant told me personally "$20 a day" so that was my source.

Regardless, the manager has ignored my requests and I am going to dispute all but $28 of the charges with American Express.  They are a reasonable company to do business with IMHO and they allow disputes if you can justify the complaint, which I think I can.

I'm not sure how it came out to $56; it should have been $42.  However, "daily" generally means per calendar day, not "per 24 hour period."  If it's "per 24 hours," it will not be called "daily."  The parking ticket generally explains the rate structure.  In my experience, the vast majority of parking lots located in downtown areas count calendar days, whereas most airport parking lots charge per 24 hour period.  But in any case, you should have checked the signage once you parked, since many parking lots do not even allow overnight parking, or charge extra for it (this is probably the reason for the higher amount).

By the way, you still saved money.  The hotel's website indicates that it charges $24 per calendar day.  You would have paid $72 if you parked there.
