CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5Entry was smooth once we were directed to the correct entrance. There were times when the audio was hard to hear and because of diversions the order of the rooms did not match the audio. The Hesdout receipt did not include a bar code that needed to be scanned to get lift assistance. It was found on the printed tickets that we were given upon entering & receiving headphones.SStrini N
