Parking problems

People without handicap plaquer were using the handicap parking spots. I told the guy working on the lobby and he did care. People with the handicap tag parked in their handicap area and other guests park next to them in the wheelchair area. Please try to look into this.

Hotel was decent. I got the bay view but it was still covered by buildings. Could barely see the water Also, hotels should have parking included. This hotel does not considering how much I paid for a night. The pillows were uncomfortable and building seems to be old.
