Parking was secure and right beside the unit we were in. Other units the parking was directly in front of the ranch slider. With parking so close to the unit door it did not matter what the weather was doing when putting gear in the car.

An improvement in the booking in and checking out. There could easily be a key drop box at the location for early check out rather than having to go up the road. Clearer instructions needed for checking You actually go left not right!
