I live 3 min drive from Kemah - I used to love going there with my 4y.o. son - BUT NOT ANYMORE - they TOTALLY LOST me as a client:\r
1. The minute you arrive to Kemah Boardwalk is nothing but NEGATIVE emotions - YOU CAN NOT park ANYWHERE for free - even parkings a mile away are $7!!! \r
Complete RIP OFF - they have these huge parking lots and they are empty - but people park along the streets, walk miles with kids and babystrollers while parking lots are empty!\r
IS IT a CUSTOMER service??? You think as a customer I feel welcomed??\r
2. There is one little HIDDEN spot where free parking is - you will be VERY lucky to get a spot there - but tonight the RUDNESS was overwhelming! A car left the free spot - my friend immideately parked there - I was waiting the other spot to get freed - but the Vallet guy grabbed the orange cone and put it to the spot claiming it as Vallet parking!!! Unbelivable.\r
2. OK, so I drove to the garage parking - right in frond of the garage entrance there was a sign ""Garage parking is $7"" - fine... but again I found a ""hidden"" spot behind the bushes near by but before the $7 parking sign- there was no cone there - no any other sign, so I parked and just started to unbuckle my son from the back seat - I almost left - but the ""parking"" girl approached me and started to claim that this spot is reserved for handicapped!! I said - excuse me - but there is NO sign for handycapped, no sign of ANYTHING! Guess what? The security guy shows up immideately - and started SCREAMING at me!!!\r
WHAT a SHAME!! Then he threatened me that he is going to call the security team and police to tow my car if I live it here - I was totally shocked!! I tried to get to his ""human"" side - BUT there was NOTHING human in that ""SUCH A BOSS of whole UNIVERSE"" parking security dude :) So, I decided that this incidend is NOT worth of my time - so, I started my car, and was driving reverse in order to leave - but the parking guy was standing behind my car NOT letting me to leave!!! Well I honk on him and ask him politely to let me go otherwise I will call police and report the harrassment - I also wished him to enjoy his WONDERFUL empty parking lot and that I WILL NEVER come back here again!\r
3. Too bad there is no MINUS stars rating - Kemah is not only family UNFRIENDLY (yes, double negative in the sentence) - but RUDE, GREEDY, ZERO customer service from the minute you enter there - they DO NOT care about ANYTHING - but get your $7 to $15 parking fees... they made their daily profit - great - but they kill restaurants and fun there - and LOOSE the clients.\r
4. Sorry - but there are soo many nice places around with GREAT food, fun and customer service who WOULD love to get my business!\r
5. If you leave more then 5 miles away from Kemah - do not even waste your gas!! NOT WORTH A PENNY and most importantly YOUR TIME with your family! \r
\r
Bye, Bye Kemah - i will NEVER be back.
Pros: used to be fun
Cons: nothing but negative emotions
