We reserved an accessible room. The room we were put in was listed as accessible, but had a normal bathtub with no shower seat. The other accessible room at the property was already occupied by other guests, who we discovered later had not requested an accessible room. There were no bath towels in the room, and there was food left by previous guests in the refrigerator.

When we checked in, the women on the front desk was not engaged at all. When we checked out the following morning, Danielle was very helpful and outgoing. The TV in our room did not work, it would have been nice to have healthier options at breakfast such as whole wheat bread for toast and some fresh fruit (apples, bananas or oranges). Otherwise, our stay was satisfactory.
