Accessibility and ratings
Heads-up: rooms aren't rated yet. Wheel the World's listing for the "2 Queen, Accessible, Roll-In Shower" room also tags it "steps to enter." That could be a data error or a real barrier. We won't rate rooms until the lodge confirms which it is. (Wheel the World (opens in new tab), checked Oct 16, 2026)
