First they had a big party there that night and I wasn’t informed. It was about 100 people’s or more attending a party that over crowded the hotel and parking space. Plus it was a party that you had to be invited to and they took over the hotel the lobby, the parking lot and the bars. You had to walk a mile to get to the hotel because the self parking was full. The person who help me with my bags was expecting a big tip and I had only like a suit case and a book bag. So he had attitude and plus the valet was mad because I wasn’t paying 40 bucks for them to park my car when they was super busy with the party. So the night only get worst from there because hotel was just over packed with peoples that wasn’t friendly. I don’t know if racist played a role in this but the vibes was off. You could feel the bad energy in the air. So I decide to go right across the street to get some food then when I got back to the hotel I took shower and got dressed. Here comes the weird part of my night. When I realize I was dealing with some shady and dishonest valet workers i had forgot something upstairs so pulled up in fronted of the hotel not blocking no other cars and the valet pressure me into given him my keys even the I was only going to be few seconds. The worst mistake of my life I came back to my car and several things was missing out my car but I didnt noticed right away. So I turn around and this is where it goes from a bad night to terrible night. Won’t let me right no more

During my stay a staff member was rushing and went around my family up the beach stairs and bumped into my 2 year old and sent her head flying into the steps, she bled everywhere. I told the front staff about it and they went me up smores to apologize. It’s been months and there is a permanent scar. S’mores for a permanent scar on a 2 year old is insane. I have been looking into a lawyer for this.
