Rude staff. They said there was no free place to park the car, but we saw at least 4 free places.
Scammers recommend by Wellton Centrum 4star hotel( on Google maps they say they have free parking, which is a lie)
We were told by the hotel that the parking was 15€ with their partner, but upon arrival the very rude staff said it is 40€. And shouting at us to go away and they didn’t care about which hotel we came from.

Too expensive 40eur/day and cash only. Overnight 30eur. Not recommended.
TL;DR: "Good Parking" was a disappointment with poor maintenance, an aggressive and discriminatory owner, and being a regrettable recommendation from our hotel. Seek alternatives.
Despite the promising name, our experience at "Good Parking" was far from positive. The parking lot was poorly maintained, littered with debris, and had confusing layouts. The owner's discriminatory behavior added to our disappointment - he was not only brusque and rude but also denied us parking due to our English nationality while extending a warm welcome to Latvian visitors. What made this experience even more frustrating was the fact that we were referred here by our hotel, which raises concerns about their recommended services. "Good Parking" lacks in both basic maintenance and respectful customer service, and we strongly advise others, especially those recommended by their hotels, to seek better alternatives.

Make sure you retain the piece of paper they give you when you drive in. Otherwise they will pretend they have no knowledge of you paying and will charge you again. And old russian guy will give try to tell you that you were supposed to know to retain it, although the previous guy does not warn you.
We got told that the parking would cost 15e/day, but when we went there it was 20e/day and I think it was only because we were Finnish tourists. Staff wasn't so kind and overall pretty bad experience but parking worked, there was some other places maybe even bit cheaper, I recommend to go somewhere else.
I was sure I would give this place 1 star rating, but they seem to have improved.
We booked a hotel close to this parking spot. We parked here before going to the hotel. 40 euros for 1 day. If I went to the hotel first, it would have been 15 euros for 1day.
So ALWAYS go to your hotel first and ask them about parking.
We found out it should be 15€ at the reception, but they said we would not be able to get the money back since the guy that owns the parking is stubborn.
We went back to the parking and asked if we could make the parking we had paid for to last us for 2 days instead of 1 since we would have gotten it for 15€ for one day otherwise. He agreed.
I was still not happy, since we still "lost" 10€.
However the day we were going to leave, our parking only lasted till 4pm, but we were going to leave at 7pm.
So we tried to find cheaper parking for the last 3 hours, but the prices in Riga in mid July are expensive. So we did not find any cheaper parking than the one we were already at.
There were some small parking places with lower prices but they were very small and had no spots left. They were not that much cheaper either.
So we talked to the guys that worked here and they fixed us 3hours for 9€ instead of 12€.
The reason for 3stars, instead of 1 is that they tried to reason a little(not much).
However, it was after we checked the parking around us that we realised the price was the same or more expensive. If you have a hotel close by, it is also a lot cheaper.
The cars are also reasonably safe since they have a guard there 24/7.
