IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION
We recognize that there are many different challenges to accessibility, as every individual’s experience is unique. While we are committed to accommodating all guests to the best of our ability, The Inn at Front Beach may not be fully accessible to every individual, as it was built over fifty years ago, decades before the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended. Due to the properties’ age, size, and historic nature, they are unable to meet ADA requirements and, as such, there are no fully Accessible Rooms at these hotels because their pre-ADA construction dimensions severely restrict the ability to do so. As such, there are not any readily achievable or technically feasible structural updates applicable to the properties to provide any accessibility features beyond those which may already be present on site. Together, the property contains five (5) room types, distributed throughout the combined thirty-one (31) total rooms. The property is designed to intentionally provide guests with an enhanced “solitary” experience from the everyday stresses of life, so the rooms lack most modern equipment. There is an accessible Lobby and there are first floor rooms that are accessible without stairs. There are no Elevators located at the property, so guests must avail themselves to using stairs to navigate to rooms on the second and third floors. The properties do not offer any amenities, such as, Restaurants, Pools, Public Restrooms, or Lounge Areas. There is no Room Service in the traditional sense, only daily housekeeping at the discretion of guests. Room doorway entrances are less than twenty-nine inches (29”) wide.
Direct beach access is only available off hotel property, through public property owned by the Town of Rockport. Our rooms are equipped with phones. Due to the properties’ pre-ADA construction, at this time, our in-room bathrooms cannot sustain structural or plumbing upgrades to implement grab bars, roll-in showers, accessible toilets, or handheld shower heads. Our rooms are very tight and walking paths may not be wide enough for individuals requiring wheelchairs to navigate unimpeded. In-room turning ratios are extremely restricted. Hotel management and ownership is currently making good-faith efforts to identify what accessibility “barriers” may be removed without the need for substantial construction/alterations, if possible, and will be endeavoring to update either location appropriately.
