Picture of VOCO Oxford Spires, Oxford
Access to the lifts was through a door that was too heavy to open independently. Photo shows a lift with a door and glass frame to get to it.
Red cord in the ‘accessible wet room’ in the gym was tied up the whole weekend. Too high for me to even untie it.
A wheelchair user taking a photo is shown in the mirror. In front is a sink and hairdryer. To the right there are hand towels that can only be accessed by a tall standing person.
A photo of the shower. A bin is in the shower area. There is only one drop down grab rail. The seat is under the shower controls making both unusable. The overhead shower is out of view.
The shower in the wheelchair accessible room. A 15+ cm step to get in, no grab rails and no drop down seat (advertised as having all of these). There is no shower curtain available providing a slip risk as water would go everywhere. There is a raised plug hole providing a trip risk.
A microwave meal served in the restaurant for me to eat, whilst others had a three course meal. Not even a plate to put the food on.
The entrance to the pathway outside had a step and then gravel/shingle so inaccessible to all wheelchair users.
The accessible en-suite. When taking a powerchair into the bathroom gave no access to the toilet. The only way to access was to have the wheelchair half in/half out and the door open. Usable grab rail only on one side.
A wheelchair user trying to exit a lift. The hotel have blocked the turning space by the lift with a very large trolley. There is another persons head trying to hold a door open for the wheelchair user to attempt to exit.
A wheelchair user sits at a table, they cannot get closer than this. They have been sat at the outside as the hotel wouldn’t make the room set up accessible for a wheelchair user to be able to move.
Wheelchair user unable to get through a door to access meeting rooms and toilets. (Bag was removed from the side arm and the chair still didn’t fit through).
