Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryMarsham Court Hotel may not be the best option for guests with mobility problems as some rooms require climbing lots of stairs and don't have direct lift access. The lift available is said to be tiny and difficult to use and the wheelchair/buggy lift at the front entrance is also not easy to operate. However, the hotel does offer accessible facilities for disabled guests, including a sensory room and some guests did not mention any issues with accessibility during their stay. Guests who require a cooler room temperature may want to note that some rooms have no way to turn off the bathroom radiator, which may make them uncomfortably hot. Show more
