I had asked for a handicap accessible room after having recent knee surgery. When we arrived, our room was still not available at the 3 o’clock time. It finally was available around 445. The weight wasn’t so much the inconvenience, however, when we got to the room, the view was beautiful, but the bathroom toilet was not standard ADA height. And the shower was a tub and I was not able to step into it. Otherwise, this day was lovely
