Parking is a disaster. Staff set out cones to save spots for out for other staff or other people that live there on property. If they have forgotten to report a cone out, they come out and yell at you and tell you to move your car. Not OK to to treat a guest that is paying to stay there.

The room was great! We had a suite which was really nice since one of us had to get up early to work. So the door could be closed between beds and other room. Hotel is next to the beach, I loved being able to see the ocean. Our stay was during the week, so a weekday morning is going to be a little loud because workers have to work! The one downside was the smell of the cleaning products that are used. It is very overwhelming.
