We were allocated a disabled-access room that was not suitable for us as non-disabled guests. (Raised toilet and bed, cold water, lowered sink).
We were not informed in advance of the type of room we had been allocated. On checkout we were told that this was the only room available due to our late check-in. However, this was particularly frustrating having had booked in advanced and given that when we had previously
enquired about checking in slightly earlier than the standard check-in time, we were advised this would incur an additional charge of £15.
The room itself was not appropriate for our needs. The furniture and bathroom were designed specifically for disabled use and were not suitable or comfortable for non-disabled guests. Had we been informed of the room type in advance, we would have been able to make an informed decision or request an alternative arrangement.
In addition, there were building works taking place on the exterior of the hotel, which were directly outside the window of our room. We were not informed of these works prior to our stay, and they further detracted from our overall experience.
Overall, the lack of clear communication regarding room allocation, the unsuitable nature of the room provided, and the undisclosed building works resulted in a stay that fell below the standard we expected.
