Accessibility:

  • The National Hotel: The hotel does not have an elevator. There are 15 steps leading up to the hotel lobby on the first floor. Guests can access the lobby without using steps by walking around to the back of the hotel. If needed, it is crucial to request a first-floor room (very limited availability) at the time of booking; guests with walking disabilities may find this challenging due to the 15 steps or needing to enter in the back of the hotel.

  • Starr has a select quantity of wheelchair accessible motorcoaches available; therefore, we suggest you contact a Travel Advisor to discuss any needs you may have before reserving your trip.
