Accessible HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Chequers Hotel offers a mixed experience for guests with disabilities. On the positive side, the hotel has several accessible features, including accessible rooms with facilities that cater to mobility issues, ground floor rooms with walk-in showers, ramps and wheelchair entrances to all pathways. The staff are noted for being very friendly and helpful towards disabled guests, providing a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are described as a good size with some accessible toilets and handicap rooms being particularly comfortable with solid handles and other supportive facilities.
However, there are notable drawbacks. The hotel is housed in an older building, which contributes to its lack of overall accessibility. The absence of an elevator is a recurring concern, making it difficult for guests with mobility issues to access higher floors, despite offers to carry bags. Parking can also be an issue with limited disabled spaces often already filled. Some reviews mention potential safety issues in the bathrooms due to the lack of grab rails and hazardous shower setups. Maintenance issues, such as broken windows and condensation, are noted and specific rooms are not always equipped with disabled-friendly features. The layout involves many stairs and pathways that are not conducive to easy navigation for wheelchair users.
In summary, while The Chequers Hotel has made some efforts to be inclusive, significant improvements are needed to make it a truly accessible and safe environment for all disabled guests. Show more
