I am disabled and informed the hotel of my mobility difficulties, prior to my stay. I was told if I needed a soft pillow or a mattress topper I should bring my own, there are no designated parking spaces, for disabled guests and I was told if I needed to park in the overflow car park, it was only a short walk! Try a short walk with arthritis in your joints and spine! I was given a room that required me climbing 6 stairs! When I asked to be put somewhere more suitable, I was told they didn't have any other room, so basically take it or leave it. That was the receptionist Nicki's attitude, she didn't welcome us or provide details of booking for breakfast or any information regarding the facilities. I have to say, had I not been so tired, I would have tried to find somewhere else to stay. The other staff, however were very nice and one young lady even carried my walker up the 6 stairs to my room for me. I fell in the bath as there were no handrails, on the wall only on the side of the bath, however I was so desperate to bathe, as the shower was far too hot, I tried to use the bath, what a mistake. There was mould around the silicone around the bath tub. The bed was uncomfortable, even with my own mattress topper. I found sweet wrappers beside the bed, that weren't ours. There was a strange smell in the hotel, which was very unpleasant, and guest have to go through the dining room to leave, which is unpleasant for those dining.
