This was a wonderful place to stay! There is enough free parking on the side of the street near the beach if you're willing to walk a bit. We did that every night and only paid for parking across the street near the zoo when we had to stay for a short amount of time (it's $1.50/hour). The air conditioning worked perfectly and the place was clean and stocked with utensils. It was right next to the shopping area where we conveniently shopped for souvenirs as well. Overall, I can't complain!
