They said they had an accessible shuttle van to the hotel... but it had no ramp, just a regular van that would require some really major assistance to get into if you can't stand up. I explained that this was not accessible and took a regular taxi, which I can get into with less trouble. I think they thought accessible meant that the wheelchair itself could fit in the van and thought I was going to get out of the wheelchair and climb up to the seat.
