I would’ve wished their gate wasn’t open or broken if we were paying the parking fee.. everything was nice but our car’s handle was completely tore apart & broken off and the door was completely dented in on my drivers side, which supposedly we’re completely responsible for that stated on policy. someone was trying to break into our car during the night.. that was our only inconvenience but other than that service and staff were nice and helpful.
