"Loved the room. Great bed. Beautiful view. The balcony was wonderful. The restaurant was nice but the menu is very limited. I was disappointed in the bathroom. We had a handicap accessible room. However, the bathroom was not accessible for the limited mobility guest. The bath tub was dangerous. The toilet too low to safely use without assistance. The sink too high to reach from the chair. That was very disappointing."
