Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Carrington Hotel offers a mix of accessibility features for guests with disabilities, largely leaning on its historic charm and location. Guests have appreciated the very disabled accessible rooms, ramps in common areas and grab handles in showers, which cater well to those needing additional support. Additionally, the hotel is quite easy to access from the nearby train station and guests have found convenience in accessing the hotel by car or train from Sydney.
The lift, an ancient wonder built in 1904, stands out as a distinct aspect of the hotel's decor, despite occasional reliability issues. Nonetheless, it facilitates disabled access effectively when functioning. Wheelchair accessible rooms and routes around the hotel provide additional ease for those with mobility concerns.
However, there remain several areas where improvements could be made for better accessibility. Steps present challenges, particularly for older individuals and those with pushchairs or larger luggage. Notably, there are no handrails on most steps except for the main stairs. The lift's temperamental nature and occasional downtime present discomfort, especially for guests on higher floors. Furthermore, bathrooms with steps can be challenging to navigate at night and accessibility features are somewhat inconsistent.
In summary, while Carrington Hotel retains a historical charm and some useful accessibility amenities, guests with disabilities may encounter a few hurdles during their stay.
