Overview

The Days Inn is a modern hotel and is built over the James St station Metro link there is a wheelchair lift to take you from the pavement to the reception desk on the ground floor. The hotel has two large lifts that cover all the floors of the hotel the passage ways in the hotel are wide and well lit by artificial light. There was building work being done at the hotel and as this included the Bar and restaurant we could not review them during our visit however looking at the rest of the hotel I don't see any problems in this area

Transport & Parking

James St is a Metro link as a result as well as the station there are a number of local buses that stop outside or near to the hotel. There is also a Taxi rank at the door and all of the Taxi we used could take a wheelchair so no need to book one as there was normal 3 in the rank. There is no on street parking due to the number of buses etc in the area

Access

There is a wheelchair lift that takes you from the pavement to the ground floor reception desk area ( this was not in use due to building work) however there is also a ramp that is part of the station that allows you to enter via a side door. This can be an issue however staff were very helpful in opening the door for you. The restaurant and Bar area are on the first floor however this was not open during our visit due to the work taking place. The bedrooms are on floors 2 to 4 with Wheelchair access rooms available on these floors. The room we were given had enough space to move about and the storage area had a low level rail to suit wheelchair users There was also a desk for people to work at if they required to do so and good lighting in the room as well. The lights in the room work with your key card and a slot at the side of the door so at least you no where it is when you are in the room

Toilets

The toilet in the room was large and had the standard grip rails around the toilets and shower you expect in a hotel There is a fold down seat in the shower that is set at a standard level they normal are when you switch the bedroom lights off at night a Green safety light comes on in the toilet that allows you to see with out putting lights on during the night The only problem was the Red cord was around 2 feet short of the floor I did leave a Red Cord Card in place

Staff

All of the staff we meet were very helpful and friendly and will help you to find out about any of the attractions in the local area if you want information on them
