One other observation is that the toilet, shower and sink are not 100% wheelchair accessible. The shower is blocked by the toilet, which itself is close enough to the bathroom door to require leaving it open if you need to use a wheelchair to get in/out of the toilet. There are ample handrails along the bathroom perimeter. However, due to Kim Poor's experiences in Fall 2006, there is now rubber place matting in the shower area. Be forewarned, the matting is hard on the feet.

The sink area, located outside of the toilet, doesn't allow a wheel chair user to wheel up to the sink. One has to reach over the edge of the sink.

I know, picky, picky, picky!

Looks like your room was formerly part of the common room that was remodeled after we left. Our bathroom was wheelchair accesible, and the sink was set back into the wall. We were in 1417, I believe.
