Roaming around the Hydro

Overall Rating
Good
Markings weren't quite clear enough in the building which actually resulted in the staff member (that was giving us a tour) getting lost!
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
It seemed that the entrance at the side of the Hydro is used for level access (this is certainly the entrance we were asked to use). If so, again there was no signage advising of this but once inside it was spacious enough and the lifts were big enough for at least 2 wheelchairs which is a bonus.
Parking & Transport
0I was dropped off at the entrance so unsure of parking provision.
Accessible Toilets
0I didn't visit the toilets so unsure of the access rating for them.
Staff
Good
The staff members who took us around were pleasant enough but probably wouldn't be the people assisting wheelchair users to their spaces on a daily bases as they were often confused where the wheelchair sections on each stand were.
Additional Information
We found it quite confusing to find our way around and this was a time when the building was empty. I can only imagine it will be even more difficult when the venue is packed. However, there will be more staff on hand then to assist with queries etc which should help to solve that problem.
