Disabled Travellers at pleasant Airport hotel
What a lovely warm inviting little hotel, so handy for the airport, as it’s in a number of hotels in the airport complex and easy to get to, although there is a barrier to allow you into the hotel. There are four disabled parking bays available, (photo 1) opposite the main entrance. A pleasant entrance beckoned you (photo 2) after a short walk from your car. A nice paved level pathway to the automatic sliding doors (photo 3). A
reasonable sized reception area and desk, (photo 4) where you MUST REGISTER your
car number to get out through the barrier. DO THIS even even if it’s only a coffee break you are taking, as well as for an overnight stay as a guest.
(Photo 5) From the reception desk you go through into a delightful small sitting area, which is so homely, with the fireplace and clock, it gives you the feeling of being home, beautifully decorated in the most attractive colours, and this is where a disabled person may sit for any drinks required. Out of all the hotels we have visited, this is the only one that really grabbed me because it looks so homely. If you wish to enjoy the bar or restaurant, there are three steps to have to get up, but over to the left by the bar, you will find a ramp to help you enjoy your break, and to pick up your midday morning coffee or tea. Afternoon may mean a G and T of course, but it will be a nice hotel to drop into for a short break. Once up the ramp, or steps, there are further ramps available (photo 6) which takes you to the bar, which is very pleasing on the eye with its tasteful decor (photo 7). A ramp then takes you down into the restaurant (photo 8), again continuing with the lovely colour scheme, the restaurant is fairly big, (photo 9) plenty of room to move your wheelchair, scooter or power chair.
In the lovely sitting area, the disabled toilet is on the right, and on the level (photo 10) but the toilet is very basic, just enough room for a wheelchair, (photo 11) but you may have to stand to wash your hands as the sink is too high. There is a grab rail.
(Photo 12) then returning to reception area, and proceeding ahead brings you to the staircase for the first floor bedrooms. However, the disabled room will be on the ground floor (photo 13) It’s quite a long walk along the passage (photo 14; then along another passage to get to the room.
There is only one disabled room, number 22 (photo 15) and we could not get into it as it was occupied.
Jury’s Inn does have Health and Leisure facilities (photo 16) which can be reached from the corridor of the disabled passage (photo 17). It’s a nice swimming pool, and quite a reasonable size (photo 18), and changing rooms were close to the pool. (photo 19).
We returned to reception area to depart from our pleasant short visit (photo 20) and to pick up our ticket to let us out through the barrier.
Out final thoughts.
A delightful little hotel, inviting, with a cosy homely atmosphere, spotlessly clean, but sadly only one disabled room, number 22, but everything you need is on the ground floor, and ramps to take you to the bar and restaurant.
We would certainly recommend this hotel for a short visit or overnight stay.
