Wanted to give 5 stars for the excellent staff service but unfortunately a couple things blemished the experience. First. I can never give 5 stars to a hotel that has a non-working/poorly working television. Parkshore has cable channels but they’re nearly impossible to navigate with the provided remote. (Also closed captions disabled. A minus for hearing disabled guests like myself). Finally, the main issue was the absolutely unbearable bed. I haven’t had a less comfortable night of sleep in decades. Would not return simply due to the bed being so unsleepable.

Uncomfortable bed, but otherwise good

We really enjoy staying at the Park Shore for the price and convenience. This year the bed was extremely uncomfortable though. Otherwise, it's a great place to stay.
