Good location for exploring. Slight problem in getting key out of key safe. The mechanism was stuck so will need attention before next guests arrive. Also king size bed was actually 2 singles pushed together. Good for width but caused a mini ravine in middle so bad for backaches. Having said above would be re-booking later in the year
