a stay with some PROBLEMS
stairlift access difficult accessibility
access for disabled guests presented considerable difficulty. i found the stairlift required staff assistance for operation, not practical for independent use. the necessity to climb steps to and from the lift further complicated accessibility and created a barrier.
