2 bedroom handicapped accessible suite was reserved. The bathroom was located inside the master bedroom, which allowed no privacy and was very inconvenient. The wheelchair could not fit beside the bed leaving the lobby bathroom as the only option. Grateful it was only 1 night since a shower waa not possible. Complimentary breakfast was delicious.
