Lovely hotel and nice people. If you are able bodied this review isn't for you. However, as someone in a wheelchair, it's a very frustrating place to be in. Many of the hotel facilities, such as their indoor pool are completely unreachable if you can't go down or up a flight of stairs. Their outdoor pool is only reachable by going down an extremely steep, very narrow ramp, which is no problem until you try to go back up it and discover that it is WAY steeper than an ADA ramp and there are no hand rails. The doors to the rooms are too narrow for any but the smallest chairs. No power chair would be able to get in. Their handicapped entrance to the hotel, is a massive, wooden door that can't be opened by a push button. I have the upper body strength to open this, but many of my friends in wheelchairs won't. They have made no effort what-so-ever to make this a handicapped friendly facility, despite I hear recently renovating the place. So...if you are in a wheelchair like me, maybe consider staying in Kansas City, the area isn't so pretty and the hotel likely won't be as historic, but hey, at least you'll be able to get to the pool.
