Handicapped room experience
Pros:

The breakfast had a wide variety of choices and everything tasted great.

Cons:

Our room had an odor [ strong ammonia type] and the bed was uncomfortable. The room was handicap accessible, but it was not easy to get to the shower due to a deep tub and long step down. A walk in shower would have been more accommodating for someone with limited mobility.
