Accessibility Details
This Hotel received our 4-star Sage Accessibility rating, because of its wonderful accessibility features and has been personally inspected by John Sage. The hotel features fully accessible common spaces made wheelchair friendly with smooth, flat surfaces, wide doorways, and wide elevators to navigate between the different floors. The accessible rooms feature a spacious layout with sufficient turning space and low carpet. The disabled bathrooms are equipped with a barrier-free roll in shower with grab bars and grab bars by the toilet. This hotel did not receive a higher rating because the grab bar in the roll in shower is on the wall but cannot fold down and wheelchair users can only partially roll under the sink. The wall on the balcony is also high which means less of a view if you are seated.
