They were still there when I visited with my late wife eight years ago. I'm fairly sure the carriages go to the Treasury area. The entrance to the Siq canyon is so close to the entrance to the historic site and the visitor center that there wouldn't be much point in using one if it couldn't go into the canyon.
I suspect a camel is out of the question for someone with mobility issues, though I may be wrong. They do kneel down, after all, which is more than one can say for a donkey.
We stayed at the Mövenpick during our visit. Great location, not only for the historic area but also for the rest of the city. My fondest memory of it is drinking affogatos in the lobby.
