The room I was given was shabby and not fit for purpose, I may be disabled but that doesn't mean I should be expected to put up with exit signs in the room lit up all night, or disgusting floor tiles in the bathroom. The staff where great and moved me to a room with a shower and grab rail.

Hotel was fully booked. We were in a room outfitted for someone in a wheelchair. We have stayed in rooms like that before and all was well, but this one was different. The trash can foot pedal was cruddy and broken, a rack?/handle bar was missing from the wall (exposing sharp brackets), the tile on the bathroom floor had been sloppily painted over and was peeling off in spots, caulk was peeling off, etc. What all this peeling revealed were stains and discoloration underneath. It was yucky. When we attempted to share this feedback upon check out, the receptionist was quick to tell us that the damage was from wheelchairs. She acted like she did not care what we had to say. Regardless of the cause, the appearance was not acceptable. Otherwise breakfast was ok (but crowded) and we didn't experience noise through walls that others have reported. It was an ok stay overall.
