I could be mistaken, but I believe in the back of the lot behind the hotel and theater. Not exactly premium, front-row spaces.

And why would we care? Drop it off and pick it up at the same place, don't care about the logistics. So far doesn't appear that a lot of residents care either.....just the minority on here.

I guess it doesn't make a difference here. Personally I don't care how far away I park. I'm one of those people who park in the back of a parking lot so my doors don't get dinged. I just don't see a lot of cars out there so I thought I was in the minority.

Some people are lucky to be born with a "silver spoon" in their mouth; others are lucky to be able to just share a plastic spoon with the few meals they have (or had).

Absolutly.......I work hard for my money, and what I buy with it.

So do we all, who also grew up poor. But nobody has answered yet to say what horrible, costly thing is going to happen to one's car or golf cart if nothing to steal is left in it, when having the valet service park it and bring it.

We and they have insurance for the car or cart if something should happen to it.

Plus, any time we park our car ourselves anyplace other than our own garage, it's always subject to hit and run damage. Implying that the professional valet service is something akin to a crime ring is just nasty and uninformed…..maybe even libelous.

79 posts! As Dr. O'B pointed out, it's simple. Valet Parking will be popular or else it will go away. :shrug:

The developer makes millions on this development. Do you really think that the small amount of money to be made from valet parking is important to him/her/them? The reason we have valet parking is because there were fears that parking could be difficult because of the Sharon. Valet parking was instituted to alleviate those concerns. If the valet parking is of value to the residents it will continue, if not it will be discontinued. It seems that there is always something for some to complain about. We went to the Sharon for the opening Gala...parking...no problem. We have been to the squares several times since....parking... No problem. If anyone has been negatively impacted by valet parking, please let us know. Otherwise this is all just speculation.

I have not seen the actual valet service in person, as of yet, but let me ask you, with all the opportunity for criminal behavior lately.

Whats to stop someone from holding a valet sign up, and stealing the carts one by one..... to unsuspecting people.?


They could probably get up to 20 carts before anyone catches on......

We may have insurance, but you also have a deductable, so you still loose.

tomwed 05-16-2015 06:24 PM

I suppose anything is possible.

What really happened to me one time is that I paid a man $5 to park on Sunday in the Philadelphia Art Museum parking lot. Later that day I found out it was free. He was holding a bunch of fives and looked very official.

Then you might want to see it in person before you make an uninformed post.

Having a pseudo Valet Company set up to steal golf carts is about as likely as The Villages being hit by a Tidal Wave.

OMG....go check out the valet service. It is very obvious. If you give your cart to a complete stranger....well, you won't. Go check it out, then you will realize what a silly statement you made.

Oh geez :ohdear:.... You haven't even seen them at the square! They are definitely quite obvious !

On a rainy night out to the Sharon, I would love the luxury of valet service. Wouldn't you?
