Sometimes it isn’t what you say it’s how you say it.

So your wife is in an ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR, correct? Which means it can be driven all over the lot of the Hotel, correct?

Why couldn’t you just move your vehicle to another spot to pick your wife up without being compelled to complain about a really nice place?

I stated the same thing, much, much more politely about 3 hours ago and the post got deleted. Go figure.

Were they in violation of the ADA guidelines?

BTW, thanks for posting. We will NOT recommend the hotel to friends now.
Social Media is a powerful thing. The hotel should know this.

Wow. I wonder were you would follow anyone based on one post. Social media is not wonderful. One day someone will say something about you. Should we all believe it?

If the motorcycles were illegal parked, you should call the police to have removed.

Apparently, we must lower our expectations for a few years.

As a rider myself, I would like to see them try and tow the bikes as well. It would be very entertaining.

I'm sorry you weren't able to pick up your wife directly outside the front door, b/c of the motorcycles, but as others mentioned, it was an electric wheelchair and could have moved to any other open space in front of the hotel. Problem solved.

Here's a thought, maybe they had no choice BUT to park there due to lack of available parking spaces b/c of the "party of villagers" you and others were attending.

And she has a point, they were staying there, y'all weren't.

The reason for all the bikes was b/c the Leesburg Bikefest & Gator Harley Davidson Bikefest was last weekend, hence, all the bikes at the hotel. Lisa at the front desk has a point, they were actually staying there, all weekend.

I don't feel that one experience should have any negative post / reaction for you not wanting to attend anything there ever again. I've stayed at that hotel several times, and I've always had an amazing experience! The rooms are really nice, the beds, the floor, it's always very clean. The pool is fun as well.
