1) Parking was a joke. 2) the fan/light remotes control ALL THE UNITS, so when we were settled and in bed, the lights would turn on, and the fans off. This was also the case within the unit. 3) the beds are hard as rocks garbage 4) the bedding was like sand paper 5) the water heater capacity was a joke for just a tiny family if 3.
