Deep tubs are a big challenge

We risked taking a shower in the deep tubs. We had no info to expect that as we booked thru Expedia. There were no grab bars once in this tub which was deeper than any I have ever experienced. Just getting in it for a fit but nonetheless 77 year old female was a challenge.

Super nice room, but even better attentive staff and fabulous lounge/bar/bistro food area. Price was right even adding parking and breakfast. Room had safe, microwave, coffee maker, good shower, comfy bed, and fridge but sadly no freezer. Would alter our schedule to stay here again.
