we went recently to cambridge travel lodge. We booked 2 rooms. Explained due to small children we needed to be next to each other. When we got there we were 5 rooms apart. When I said to reception about it, they said the cheap rooms couldn't be reserved that way!!!! No idea how the system works, but they wouldn't move us!

they would have moved me lol if only to shut me up hee hee..

We need them next to each other for safety reasons as one of the occupants is deaf and needs the other rooms occupants to access their room in an emergency. And before you say inform reception as they would come and get you in the event of a fire, I know from past experience this did not happen, so have no desire to repeat that!

Anybody know the answer?

Thanks

Surely in this day and age of the Disability Rights Act every hotel should have the vibrating pads that go under the pillow for deaf residents.

Sadly I cant expect hotels to do that, despite the fact they have disabled rooms which cater for wheelchair/limited mobility only.

That is why we like the rooms together and also a second key to be held by the second room in case of a fire.

There are some hotels that do it, but are usually very small B and B types as a result of them or relatives being deaf. The chains feel it is sufficient that they ask to be informed when you check in and they will come and get you in a fire. Sadly, I discovered that does not necessarily happen despite their best intentions! Therefore I prefer to rely on parents/companions etc. thats life!
