Tips for guests:
It may seem like the front door simply won’t open. It does, there’s just a trick. Put the key all the way in and lift up. Then, tilt the back of the key down while pushing the front of the key up (think NE on a compass). We think one of the pins isn’t being pushed in properly unless you do this. Then turn the key to the left. The gentler the better, if you’re forcing it you’re doing it wrong.
To save you figuring it out, the fan switch is the far right one next to the bed, then adjust with the remote.
To the next guest we hope you enjoy our leftover pop tarts!
