Clean, but not handicap accessible!
The elevator did not work and hadn’t worked in about a week we were told. The entrance doors to hotel have a button to open doors, but one door didn’t open and the other only opened half way, making it difficult for a member of my group who is blind, to enter. When this was discussed with the receptionist she became defensive.
