We celebrated our honeymoon and had a wonderful time! We got to explore the museum completely alone- it was amazing! The only thing I would have changed was the bed. It was very, very firm and a little hard to sleep on. Otherwise, it was an absolutely wonderful experience and the room was very nice. The museum was so much fun! We found 28 doors!
