The elevator broke and my accessible room was on the 2nd floor. The hotel had no plan for how to get me down to first floor for complimentary breakfast or to check out. Terrible service.

Elevator out of order

First day there. The elevator wouldnt come down to the first floor unless it was sent down by someone up stairs. So we had to walk up stairs. Normally i wouldnt mind but hubby had knee replacement surgery and its hard for him . The next morning they did put up a elevator out of order sign up .
