Thanks for your thoughts. I'm glad someone else has experienced this.

You know, I realized it was an accessible room well into the night (in robe, unpacked), so like the lightbulb, it just wasn't worth making a big fuss given the amount of work/disruption to my evening. It was a slow process. First, the furniture really bothered me, but I figured "hey, maybe that's how things are here." Peeks into other rooms proved me wrong, just about the time my girlfriend was like "there's no bathtub." I went in the bathroom and knew then, when I saw the seat in the shower. Then I noticed the second, lower peephole.

But for sure, from now on my default hotel instructions will say "no wheelchair room please."

When I'm there for a short stay, I do count on a lot of things being right the first time. Other times I tend to get things fixed.
