The workers were nice however when i booked i noted that one of our guest was in a wheelchair. The first room they gave up was on the first floor but with steps. So the moves us to a a room with a ramp however that’s where the accessibility stopped. The bathroom door was so narrow i could not get her in to shower. Apparently there is one room which does have a bath open that would accommodate a wheelchair with a wide enough door that was next to ours. However they place another family in that the day before we got there. they were not disabled it was a family of 7. Our rooms had were both multi family suite only that one had the wide bathroom that was accessible. It came down to whoever placed the rooms did not do a good job.
