Car park needs safety signage

Generally everything was ok. However the ramp down into the lower level car park really needs a sign warning drivers that the curb is extending into the driveway as it is not visible when making a turn. I ended up damaging the side skirt of my car as there is now way a driver in a regular height car can see it, car sensors didn't see it either. I've mentioned this to reception staff when checking out. Hopefully they will bring this up with the management as they promised.
