Won't be back
My stay was terrible. Other than the location, there is no reason to stay here. 1) I had no idea where the office was to check in, and one of the housekeeping staff had to walk me two blocks through an alley with my bags to check in. 2) The parking situation is a joke! I was supposed to have a parking space, but because they are right by the beach, random people would park in the hotel spaces doing who knows what and I was unable to find a parking space. I ended up parking two blocks away and walking for overnight and had to move it in the AM. 3) The door to the bathroom wouldn't open/close properly as it hit the floor which was obviously uneven. 4) When I called to complain about the above, nobody answered my call.
