I called Lumina today and there's still room, which is the cheapest accommodations AFAIK, but they aren't wheelchair accessible.

The woman at Lumina has not been very accommodating so far (no returned messages, no returned emails, attitude on the phone that would have sent me to another hotel in an instant in any other circumstance and given the field work i've done over the years, that says alot b/c i've stayed in some pretty questionable places).
She's been bipolar from minute to minute the two times that two of us have called. I'm getting the impression she isn't really that thrilled about this deal/situation.
She seems overly concerned about filling her cabins rather than providing any service to the customer.

We're thinking about looking elsewhere.

I left a phone message there (Lumina) and never got a returned call either. I assumed there was nothing available.

Your assumption wasn't far from the truth.

The camping site next to the factory that Ian mentioned also has cabins.
I'm contemplating giving them a call.

Sorry Adrian. Just trying to teach a few more Canadianisms.

Well, you could always just grab a sleeping bag and curl up inside the anechoic chamber!

I heard they loop a few selections from Dark Side of the Moon all night in the anechoic chamber to discourage squatters from making a nest there.

When I called and told her that I was physically handicapped, she informed me that there are steps into the cottages and that " we're not for you", which I thought was an odd way to say unfortunately we can't accommodate you. I was going to say something about her comment but she had to let me go because she had someone on hold. She did take my number and called me back not even 2 minutes later and discussed the accommodations further with me and was pleasant to talk to, although she did state rather emphatically that we are to be off the resort and the mingling is elsewhere, at which time I told her that everything is planned at the plant.

The one thing I will mention is that it's the only place I've called that won't work with me when I mentioned that a temporary ramp could be made to get me into the cabin (I mentioned it but nothing in return).


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Hmmm...I can't imagine a resort full of wedding guests would be any quieter than a few Axiom members. Anyway, I wonder if a few handy guys here would be able to make a ramp for you, given they have available materials...or is it the fact the resort doesn't want to be held liable?
