There is free parking within the hotel area which is great for those driving. We got assigned ground floor wheel chair friendly room and the washroom was extremely big and spacious. Biggest I have ever seen. The bathroom is also fitted with grab bars as well, very elderly friendly in my opinion. Recommend if you are travelling with elderly. The room is spacious and extremely clean as well
