The ad is misleading. It lists self parking as an amenity. I think most would interpret that as if you have a room you have a parking space. What the desk clerk explained is there are 9 spots for 52 rooms and the rest is street parking. Good luck being across the street from the beach on a holiday weekend. Had to park 5 blocks away and carry luggage. Otherwise location is great and pool and spa were very nice. Would have been a great stay without the false advertising on parking. That soured the stay before getting to the room.

The room was nice but have noise complaints & i wish the front desk would ask their guests when they chevk out. People were slamming their doors early in the morning, kids were screaming & running down the halls. Also, i did not have a "please do not disturb sign" so the housekeeper knocked on my door earlier than i would like. The hotel is nice & good walking distance to different places but it would be helpful to inform families with kids please be respectful to the other guests.

There was sand in my bed sheets. I didn’t get to go to the beach because it was pouring rain, so it wasn’t from us. A few things should be updated such as their toilet seat that has marks on it. Th
