I had real anxiety about the front door been locked. I was told it would not open untill 3pm on the day of arrival and locked at 12 MD. I had a 2 hour extension as we were doing the triathlon on the day and was charged 60 extra i thought this was a bit steep. Other places just say yes that's fine. ##### kate S.
