Accessible only if you're mobility impaired...

So, I recently spent a week in the UK. I spent a couple days staying at the City Inn hotel in Manchester. The staff were very nice and gave me an "accessible" room. There was plenty of room for a wheelchair, the bathroom had lots of grab bars and all the counters were lowered, and the floors were all nice and level. Unfortunately, none of these things are useful for my particular disability.

You see, I'm deaf.

There was no visual-alert fire alarm in the room.

So, City Inn of Manchester, you get good marks for effort... but you still fail.
