9.2/10 Wonderful! (930 reviews)
Booked a handicap assessable room, why would they be located on any other floor than the 1st. If a fire happened how would someone in a wheelchair take the 4 flight of stairs to get out of building? Also shower head for hand held was broke, and the seat for the tub but no way to keep water from running off seat onto floor as curtain doesn’t cover it cause seat sticks to side of tub. Kind of little things but some safety things to keep in mind when accommodating handicap people.
