Paid for parking seven hours before I arrived. When I got there, all the reserve spots were full. I went inside to inquire about this, the man at the register informed me that they always sell more reserved parking reservations than they have spots available. Requested a refund, but he could not give a receipt. What a scam.

Would give them a zero if I could. WILL NEVER USE PILOT AGAIN. Got gas for $51 on Visa credit card and was charged $151 dollars. Contacted manager and the Manager was completely clueless and had no idea why I was charged $151 for $51 worth of gas. MAKES NO SENSE,
