Nice.

I saw the pictures and the rooms are very good, indeed. The place
looks ok and also since they use the accessibility as a marketing
thing they probable take it seriously.

Would be nice if you could check it. That's very important otherwise
we need to check carefully the rooms to see if it's possible to use it

Most of disabilities are more simple to adapt to a place. The most
difficuilt one are the people using wheelchairs or scooter (those are
even more complicated since they use more space then a normal
wheelchair).
