I had an accessible room but the shower grab bars are FAKE. I rely on the bars getting into the shower but these are not anchored properly—bare screws in the tile. I have pictures because the bar pulled out and I nearly fell over backward. The staff was ho hum about it and the manager refused to call me to hear my concerns. They should post warning signs in all the showers telling customers they only look like grab bars. Guests beware!

Loved the room and the front desk service. Saturday morning breakfast service was good. Good food. Sunday breakfast service wasn’t great, it was 10:15 so we thought it was early enough but it was more important to the guys to clean up than to pay attention to 2 tables. Dishes piled 3 high. Walked past with coffee but didn’t offer any to us. A bit disappointed for such a nice establishment. Food was again, delicious.I really don’t want this comment section posted on your review page, I just wanted someone to know.
