Did not require a wheelchair accessible room

For some reason the Front Desk at check-in thought I needed a wheelchair accessible room :(, I had to wait from Noon until 3pm for a room to be made ready! A bad experience. Why did my booking say I needed a handicapped to up pe if room? Please advise

In the middle of the city, the rooms are but tight but manageable. Limited space, they don't mention upon booking that it’s $34 a day to park please be weary of that upon booking.

Average hotel. Expensive for the quality, but it's New Orleans so it was the most affordable we could find. 30 minute walk to the French Quarter. Little details made it less enjoyable. Sheets were paper thin and rough. Hotel breakfast had limited healthy options. Coffee / Tea station inside room was not stocked, so only hot water. Parking was an additional $34 which seems insane since it is not a garage or covered or gated or anything. The parking garage around the corner was gated with security and was $25.
