"Was nicer than the one in Oceanside we stayed at. However, I was surprised that we had to pay to park our car at the hotel. That seems a little extreme. Staff was pompous and condescending. Not smiling or happy. Would have rather of continued their conversation that we interrupted by arriving. But the room and grounds were very nice."
