We booked a handicap accessible room for my disabled mother. The beds definitely should not be as tall as they are, she could not get in the bed without us making an unsafe ramp/platform out of books and towels to get my 72 year old mother in the bed. Definitely should have lower beds in a handicap accessible room, I’ve never seen this before anywhere, and the front office was no help when I asked if any rooms had a lower bed. Basically was told no and if we don’t stay we would not be getting a refund.

The room wasn't ready until 4pm, an hour after the promised check in time. The room appeared clean, but the carpet in the room was very dirty and the bottom of my feet were black. This was not our typical experience here. We've stayed 2 other times with no issues.

The hotel was fine but the rooms they gave us were off the main hotel on the side and it was a terrible room. It was dirty and you could see the sign of water damage that had been painted over. The room was very small. We were also given a handicap room when we didn't request it so the shower was awkwardly positioned and water ran all over the floor. We also didn't get to all take a hot shower because the hot water ran out at 8am in the morning. The room was right next to the street and we could hear all the traffic noise through the windows even over our sound machine. We asked for a non handicap room and they said because we booked through hotels.com that it was set in stone and they can't change anything. The parking was also very awkward and small spots. Then to get out you had to navigate very carefully around the other people who were walking through to get on the shuttle. There was also and extra $50 hold for the room that was not advertised on the website and parking was an extra $10 per day. The shuttle to the port was excessive at $15 per person, so for a family of 4 it would have been $60. We got in late and didn't have time to find another hotel but if we could have we would have definitely choosen to go somewhere else.

The room smelled muggy, and it didn't feel clean. I automatically checked for bed bugs (didn't see any). But the hotel just didn't "feel" clean. The breakfast was good. Fine for one night stay, but wouldn't stay here for a longer period.
