Not Great For Disabled People

The hotel is nice, and has a decent variety of food and drink choices. My biggest issue is the property really isn’t handicap friendly. We were told by a valet to park in a handicap space in the east garage, and check-in would be right there when we walked in the door. There were no handicap spaces available, and check-in was NOT right inside the door. Had we not had people in the elevator with us who were familiar with the property, it might have taken us awhile to find it. By this point, it was 3:50, and we waited in line for 20 minutes to check in, then had to walk a ways to get to our room: lot of walking and elevators during our stay. I definitely don’t recommend seeing a show in the ballroom if you’re handicapped, either: no handicap seating and the floor is level, so I couldn’t see any of the show.

My guest was asked to go back to the room for being intoxicated, however he does not drink. most likely mistaken identity with the conference group party that evening where there were many intoxicated guests.
