Wedding Weekend Stay
I really want to give this hotel a good review as it was a great hotel, but for me what’s the disability in a wheelchair? There was certain things that were not good, all could be done a lot better.
Upon checking into the room, it was fairly spacious and had several red cords, touching the ground, which was nice to see.
One problem however, was the bathroom door opened 3/4 of the way before hitting the bed, that meant you had to be in one half of the room. Otherwise you could not enter the bathroom once the door is opened. The let down into the bathroom was quite steep and a bit of a bump downwards to get into a quite spacious bathroom but it did have a tiled floor. It has a large raise toilet bowl with supports there was space to the right of the toilet for your chair to enable as easy as transfer as possible. The cistern however, was raised and the handle to operate. The system was at such a high level and on the inside of the toilet meant that I struggled to flush.
The bathroom sink was what you would expect to see in a small toilet, and quite unusable for anything else other than washing your hands, the shelf with soap dispensers was high and made of glass and also contained two glasses, so I could not use properly without fear of knocking things to the floor.
The bathroom is spacious with a level access shower and screen with a drench shower and a handheld head. However, the bathroom only had a shower stool which is not very safe to transfer from a wheelchair, but it did have a handrail that you could hold onto whilst showering.
I feel like the whole bathroom was about 80% there, but did not like the floor as once it was wet. It was extremely slippy for my chair and my wife.
When it came to leaving the bathroom, I struggled to get over the lip and into the bedroom, if it wasn’t for my power wheels, I would have struggled to lift my front casters high enough and push against the wet floor to 3/4 open door, either way I would hit the bathroom door on the way in and out no matter which message are used.
