I chose this hotel based on the expectation that my accessibility needs as a blind guest would be understood and accommodated. Before my arrival, my travel agent spoke directly with hotel management to discuss my requirements.
Unfortunately, my experience at check-in was disappointing. The manager on duty informed me that it was "too dangerous" for staff to assist me in accessing the swimming pool. Thankfully, a lifeguard was willing to assist me, demonstrating that a safe and practical solution was possible.
There was also an issue with housekeeping. After requesting fresh towels, the staff member collected the dirty, soaking wet towels and placed them on my bed instead of taking them away. I had to ask him to remove them before he left the room. This should not have happened.
While some individual staff members were helpful, the overall handling of accessibility and basic housekeeping fell well below the standard I expected from a hotel of this caliber. I hope the hotel improves its staff training, particularly regarding accessibility for guests with disabilities, so future guests have a more consistent and respectful experience.
