The ad is misleading. It lists self parking as an amenity. I think most would interpret that as if you have a room you have a parking space. What the desk clerk explained is there are 9 spots for 52 rooms and the rest is street parking. Good luck being across the street from the beach on a holiday weekend. Had to park 5 blocks away and carry luggage. Otherwise location is great and pool and spa were very nice. Would have been a great stay without the false advertising on parking. That soured the stay before getting to the room.
