We had a problem with the bathroom sliding door which came off the runner and jammed shut locking preventing my exit from bathroom. because My husband alerted the management who was able to return door to track and open the door. However there was no stopper to prevent happening again and could happen to another unsuspecting guest The unit was neat, clean and comfortable. The other problem that arose was with the parking. Initially we had a park outside our room. The second evening we went out for a meal and found no parking available within the facility. We had to par in the public shopping par outside. On returning to our unit the car which had parked in the spot outside our unit had parked awkwardly with front wheel extending well past side of car causing my husband to trip as the wheel was not visible in the dark. This problem could be alleviated by allocating numbers corresponding to the units to each car park. Thank you
