Some rooms have doorbells for hearing-impaired guests.

Inside the room, the doorbell light flashes and the very loud tone alerts a hearing-impaired guest that someone is at the door.

The guest rooms feature lots of floor space to allow guests in wheelchairs and other mobility devices to easily navigate the room.

A remote on the wall helps guests who cannot manually raise and lower the window blinds and shades.

This wide "hallway" can easily accommodate wheelchairs. The door to the left connects to an adjoining room; the door at the rear opens to the common hall of the hotel.

In the bathroom, there is no threshold at the door, and a small lip at the entrance to the shower.

The hotel features no curbing at the accessible parking area.
