As JD says, gate at Horny Toad is almost always locked. But there's a buzzer, I think it's on the right side of the gate. Press it, and they will open the gate. Now you will know for next time.

I agree about Azure parking, plus from the pictures on their website, it seems to me their rooms are pretty small. One of the many things I like about the Toad is that the rooms are pretty spacious.
