Everything was great, only downside was I got a balcony room with a view specifically only to find out that they lock the balconies shut during the winter so you cannot use them.

The room was excellent, the bed firm. The picture DOES NOT match our booked room (we did not have bunk beds) - we were glad the photo was wrong as we did not want bunk beds, we got a pull out couch. They need more and better located grab bars in the bathtub.
