I really liked our stay here. The parking across the street isn't ideal, but it didn't really bother us. There steps to get up/across/down to cross over the highway might be hard if you had really small children or have trouble with climbing 2 flights. honestly though I think the cost for valet was the same as self parking anyhow, so you could just do that. The valet's were always available and got the cars very quickly from what I saw. However for us we didn't mind it really, we only left the hotel twice. Everything we needed was right there which is why I would give it such a good rating, it had a great restaurant for all three meals of the day, seating indoor and outdoor by the ocean to have your meals, an extremely warm heated pool (we swam in pool even though it was a cold january day), the beach access was awesome, starbucks and gelato stand were an added bonus, and proximity to the arts district (9 mins drive) wickham park (13 mins drive), and orlando airport (60 mins drive) were all worth it for us. staff was really friendly, our room was updated and very nice/new, and had a balcony looking toward the pool and beach. I would definitely stay here again.
