Communist bunkers are clearly inferior to OUR bunkers:

We would not only have kicked their Commie asses, we would have been far more comfy while doing it  :-)

Ours is even wheelchair accessible!

Handicapped Accessibility

With the exception of the decontamination area and the lower level of the power plant, the bunker tour route is wheelchair accessible. (The decontamination area can be by passed. Benches are available for waiting if one chooses not to go down the 25 steps in the lower level of the power plant.)

Bunker Tour The Greenbrier America's Resort since 1778.

The Bunker was kept hidden in plain sight:

As a part of the Bunker’s recent renovations, The Greenbrier added five meeting rooms ranging from 670-730 square feet. The rooms, Knowland, Johnson, Rayburn, Stewart and Martin, were named for the leaders of the House and Senate and the Architect of the Capitol when the project began in 1956. Looking for a nontraditional meeting space or event location? The Greenbrier can assist with hosting parties in the Bunker using a James Bond, M*A*S*H or spy themes.

Meetings have played an integral role in the bunker story since its completion in 1962. Part of the cover story for the facility was the addition of the Exhibit Hall and two meeting rooms, which were made available to groups meeting at The Greenbrier.

During the 30 years that the bunker was a secret, groups were meeting there and enjoying theme parties and dinners, without realizing they were in a top-secret government facility. They never realized that the Exhibit Hall was actually designed to be the work place for Congressional staff or that the Mountaineer Room and Governor’s Hall would easily accommodate the US Senate and House of Representatives.
