occupant is $10, and children are free. Cots are available for $10 per

Most rooms contain two double beds or one king size bed. Please specify
a first floor room if climbing stairs is difficult, Two handicap rooms
are available (please call the hotel directly for a description of

preference and needs for accessibility.
