As I arrived, I was able to check in at any time and I had gotten there around 2am. Unfortunately, i was not too happy with the parking situation. They were full and was told to go to park on the street. I had two small children with me, and we were all tired and wanted just to get to bed. We went driving around for about 20minutes and no luck. My husband dropped me off and decided he would go looking for parking and also no luck. I had spoken to front desk and after begging them to just park car inside they let the car in. I was upset at this situation. First there was no parking and there were drunk people one block up by the pier coming out of a bar or something. I was not going to expose my kids to this at all.
