View was nice , staff is great, location is good. Not worth the price when you arrive hot , sweaty and the fridge is busted. We had to wait until maintenance arrived to change it out. Which took time out if our day for sight seeing. Once maintenance left we were ready to walk around town. We put our passports , cash, chargers in safe box but it did not work. Had to call and wait for maintenance again. Plus safe box size does not fit an average size Mac computer. Finally we just walked out and got a refund. Would not recommend this place. To many items broken for the price. Staff was always very helpful
