Unfortunately, we have no elevator. Please know before booking that there is only a stairwell to enter the Inn. We've had many questions about accessibility and ADA compliancy, and that statement is below--
As a business, and as humans, we never want anyone to feel forgotten or intentionally excluded. We know that not everyone that might want to stay with us can climb stairs with luggage. Our decision to not add an elevator was not taken lightly. Our building is over 100 years old, and so old we don't even know when it was built! Because of that, the infrastructure could not take a new elevator shaft. We would likely have to build it outside in the uneven back alley, and at this time it's not financially possible. (There is also no parking out there and would require a lot of walking on uneven ground from Oak Street to reach the elevator.) Hopefully in the coming years, we can add some more accommodations to improve accessibility in the Inn. Regarding compliancy, here is the code:
§ 36.404 Alterations: Elevator exemption.
(a) This section does not require the installation of an elevator in an altered facility that is less than three stories or has less than 3,000 square feet per story, except with respect to any facility that houses a shopping center, a shopping mall, the professional office of a health care provider, a terminal, depot, or other station used for specified public transportation, or an airport passenger terminal.
We are less than 3,000 square feet per story and less than 3 stories.
We are so excited to host you all and greatly appreciate your patronage! Best, Keri Rowell
