We had individual with wheelchair and I was surprised how non wheelchair friendly this hotel was. Doors were extremely heavy and no exit had handicap push buttons so if you went out any door besides the fro t it was very difficult. Eating g places were also not easily maneuverable with wheelchair. Reserved two rooms and requested connection g or at least side by side and did not get even though we saw or heard no one in the adjoining rooms. Bright white Flashing of smoke alarm in ceiling also very distracting trying to get to sleep. Conserving toilet paper at end so didn’t Run out.
