"Had an ‘ accessible’ room. ( I did not realize had booked that way) there were 4 coat hangers, 1 bedside drawer, 2 wedding goers. Not ideal, I see the space needed for wheelchair, but I imagine even they have clothes to put away somewhere. Also, the accommodating amenities, like inside tub, are not being cleaned as well as should, there was molds in the wooden seat in the hard to reach places it touched the tub itself- gotta clean the side edges, too. Microwave nearly burned through cup on coffee reheat in under one minute. Someone will eventually have an issue there, I was lucky. Maybe a notice of caution? Staff were pleasant"
