Beautiful But Needs Adjustments to its Accessible Rooms
My Dear Polite Travelers
I recently read about a new Hyatt House and since I needed
a short brain-tidy-vaca near my home base in Davis, CA, I ventured twenty miles
west to the sprawling city of Vacaville, the shopping mecca of our general
area.
The Lobby/Bar/Restaurant
Walking into the lobby, I noted calming tones, striking art,
décor, and welcoming faces. The
registration staff was delightful and efficient.
The attractive bar and eating area are tastefully decorated
and have ample seating areas. In fact, the entire area was so lovely that I
brought many of those decorating ideas home with me.
The restaurant’s menu was
limited and similar to what is typically found at bars: hamburgers, pizzas… etc. I ordered a hamburger which was delivered
overcooked. Grr…
Accessible Room 133
First off, this is a gorgeous room filled with outstanding
artwork. It includes a kitchenette, small
dining table, a couch, a television on a swivel, and a spacious bath. It’s very similar to a suite. There are few telltale signs that this is an
accessible room.
The only problem with the room is the shower area. Granted, it is a walk-in shower—bravo. However, the built-in toiletries and shower
controls are too high on the wall for those using the built-in seat. Luckily, my hubby isn’t in a wheelchair. But
he does have mobility issues, and the toiletries were too high for him to
reach. Huge, but common failure with
hotel properties.
Pool & Gym
I didn’t have time to explore these two perks on this trip,
but I did peek in. The pool was large
with handicap
access. And the gym was well-appointed for
the size of this hotel. Plenty of
machines and room to sweat.
Will I return?
If in the area, I would absolutely return. I enjoyed my stay immensely and look forward
to exploring more Hyatt Houses in other cities.
