Great overnight facility!
Pros:

Excellent location! The facility is in the perfect position, the staff are fabulous and on site hotel/restaurant is perfect.

Cons:

Unfortunately the single bed in my room probably needs to be replaced. The mattress had a big dip in it that made you sleep on a slant, which didn’t make for a pleasant sleep.
