"Parking: \nValet & Self Parking. Since there is no parking structure, your car will be parked in the sun. Self parking costs $10. If you're staying at the hotel, parking is free. However, the process is a long and tedious one. Once you get your parking voucher, you have to take that to the front desk. From there they write you a pass that you take to the cashier. The cashier will then validate your parking. \n\nCheck in/ Check out: \nWe arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Even though we were the only ones checking, it took the man a good 5 minutes. Also, he required us to hand him our IDs so that he can make a copy of it and keep it on file. Not really a fan of this... We asked the reason for this and the gentleman explain that it was in the event that we got locked out of our rooms. \n\nAs for check out, there is no in room check out via the television. You have to physically check out from the front desk. \n\nRoom:\nI had visited the Golden Gate's suite during Yelp's Spring Break and was very impressed by the newly updated room. I had hoped that our standard room got a facelift as well during their renovation process. \n\nAside from the new furniture in the bedroom, everything seemed old and run down. The sheets were so rough, I ended up scratching myself the entire night because it was so itchy against my skin. As for the sleep quality, it was terrible! The walls were paper thin. We can hear every single car on Main Street throughout the entire night. And the bathroom... OMG. The shower was so gross. My FI and I literally wore our flip flops into the stand only shower. (imagine the shower at your gym, minus the curtains.) There is absolutely no counter space where the sink is. Not to mention the bathroom was so small!\n\nI would NOT recommend the standard room of this hotel. Take your money next door to the Plaza."^^ . . "2012-10-10T00:00:00"^^ . . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ .
