This
was
my
second
time
staying
at
this
hotel,
and
while
overall
it
was
just
as
good
as
last
time,
there
is
one
new
glaring
problem
versus
my
previous
stay.
I
don't
know
who
decided
to
make
the
parking
valet-only,
but
they
need
to
reconsider.
The
issue
is
that
the
driveway/entrance
is
not
configured
to
handle
the
amount
of
valet
traffic
the
hotel
experiences
at
peak
times
of
the
day
(check-in/check-out/dinner
time/etc).
The
first
time
I
stayed
here,
self-parking
was
the
default
and
valet
was
an
option,
as
it
is
at
most
hotels
in
this
price
bracket.
I
liked
that
arrangement.
This
time
however,
guests
were
blocked
from
parking
their
own
vehicles,
and
were
forced
to
use
the
valet.
I
wouldn't
have
a
problem
with
that
if
it
functioned
well,
but
it
doesn't.
To
be
clear,
it
is
not
the
valet
runners/drivers
who
are
at
fault
-
they
were
working
very
hard
and
doing
their
best
to
move
things
quickly.
The
problem
is
solely
related
to
the
physical
space
and
arrangements
of
the
entrance.
There
is
no
space
to
queue
up
vehicles
that
need
to
be
parked.
Additionally,
guests
who
use
the
automated
text
service
to
retrieve
their
cars
sometimes
do
not
come
down
right
away,
leaving
their
car
sitting
in
one
of
only
two
possible
lanes
for
vehicles.
This
is
inconsiderate
behavior
by
some
guests,
but
the
real
issue
is
that
there
is
simply
no
space
for
cars
to
sit.
I
was
in
Tampa
with
my
family,
including
2
small
children,
and
we
were
coming
and
going
frequently
during
our
stay
so
I
used
the
valet
multiple
times.
There
were
2
occasions
where
we
had
to
wait
20-30mins
for
our
vehicle,
including
30+
minutes
after
check
out.
Additionally,
we
had
to
wait
over
30
minutes
just
to
park
our
car,
because
of
the
issues
mentioned
previously.
I'm
surprised
the
city
lets
the
hotel
function
this
way,
because
the
valet
line
was
routinely
backed
up
well
into
the
street
and
around
the
corner,
blocking
a
lane
on
a
busy
road
for
a
long
time.
This
really
sucks,
because
I
love
this
hotel
otherwise.
It's
why
we
stayed
here
again.
All
of
the
staff
are
great,
the
facilities
are
clean
and
exactly
as
described,
the
included
breakfast
is
great,
etc.
Everything
is
really
good,
except
for
the
parking
situation,
which
is
entirely
self-imposed!
This
was
enough
of
a
problem
that
even
though
I
loved
everything
else
about
the
stay,
we
won't
be
returning
unless
self-parking
is
allowed
again.
