| - I really do not think this hotel is safe. If you are older, if you have any balance issues at all, or if you don't have excellent night vision, or if you're just generally cautious, I would recommend that you not stay here.
All of the rooms in the main facility are open to the outside. There are a couple of elevators but the facility is spread out, so it is easier to use the stairs. The problem is that the stairs are stone, smooth, and, in my opinion, poorly lit. I also think they are steep.
Still on east coast time, I got up early one morning and left my room to get something from a vending machine (it was still dark). That provided to be challenging because you have to walk a good ways to get to them. I think there are five vending machines in the main facility. The two I tried were out of stock of what I wanted. The stairs were poorly lit. I slipped on the stone stairs and I took a nasty head-first tumble down four or five stairs and sprained my ankle severely (3 weeks later, it is still painful and limiting my activity). I am under 60 and in good health. I don't fall.
Bad luck? Yes, but I have stayed in hundreds of hotels. I have never fallen and never been injured in a hotel. Most of the hotels I stay at don't have smooth stone stairs and the stairs are not as steep. Most are well lit at night. This hotel, in my opinion, is not. So in my opinion, the risk of falling is higher and because the stairs are stone, the consequences of falling are more harmful. Again, I think this is not a safe set up. I regret that I stayed here.
