Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve a cottage or efficiency for full kitchen access if you plan to cook meals.

  • 02

    Request a ground-floor room if stairs or limited accessibility are a concern, as there is no elevator.

  • 03

    Book parking in advance as on-site spaces require a reservation.

  • 04

    Confirm that the room's refrigerator and air conditioning are functioning properly upon check-in.
