Accessibility
We know that no hotel is perfect for accessibility, but we believe the Crowne Plaza provides us with an accessible option.
If you have additional questions regarding access, please contact us directly.
Mobility:
The Crowne Plaza is fully accessible to people using scooters, wheelchairs, or wheeled walkers. However, there are a lot of ramps throughout the hotel.
- Ramp down from the lobby to the elevators (up to guest rooms, down to conference level)
- Ramp up from the elevators to the function rooms on the conference level
- Slight ramp up into Metro Place (Consuite)
- Metro Place has two levels, with the upper level accessed via a short staircase or via ramp
- Ramp down to the exit for the parking lot
All of our function space is accessible. We will have space blocked off for them in each of the programming rooms – look for the blue tape rectangles on the floor towards the front and/or back of the room.
All of the restrooms on the two function space floors are accessible.
