When you spend over 350.00 to stay in a room for one night its not to much to ask for a safe place for your family to park after a long night at the beach. You shouldn't have to look for a safe place to park. Everything was filled at the hotel and anywhere in a 20 minutes vicinity of the hotel. Then to be told that is the way it is and then someone comes out to aak ypu to park illegally in a parking lot or illegally.In a handicap. It was a very long night. I was afraid ww would jabe to sleep in the car or we even thought about leaving in the middle of the night to drive home. We will not stay there again. So very unhappy about the people smoking outside our room as well.

My stay was absolutely one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. It was so dirty we could not stay. There was bodily fluids on the wall and the sheets. There was granola bar crumbs/food and hair. Hair on the towels and toilet! Dirty floors and stains on all the beds!
