Hi Renee, I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay, I am shocked to hear a staff member disturbed you with a DND sign on and offer my deepest apologies as this is never meant to occur. I am also sorry that you were unhappy with the parking situation however this is advertised on our website prior to booking. Kind Regards,
