My research into Yorkshire hotels

Recently Premier Inn sent me via email a spreadsheet that contains over 600+ hotels, which has helped me to carry out research on the accessibility of each hotel.  The last week or so I have looked at 41 hotels in Yorkshire with a mixture of results. 
Fourteen hotels which have 983 rooms of which 54 are AB (disabled) rooms, which have either 24 lowered bath with overhead shower and 30 have wetrooms.  This calculates as 5.49% which is the more rooms than the Building Regulations reccommends.

Bradford South

Of these hotels 8 are fully compliant because they have the correct number of AB rooms and offer a choice of lowered bath and overhead shower or a full wetroom.  The hotels are Rotherham East,  Wakefield City North, Huddersfield West, Huddersfield Central, Harrogate South, Halifax West, Bradford South and Bradford North.
The remaining 6 are partially compliant because they may not have the correct number of rooms or offer a choice of bathroom facilities and these are Hull West, Leeds City Centre (Arena), Hull North, Hull City Centre, Doncaster Central (High Fishergate) and Leeds East.
Thirteen hotels that I researched only give the number of guestrooms which total 1,110.  Of this group of hotels 7 do not give anymore information regarding bathroom facilities.  Sheffield-Barnsley and Goole hotels only offer lowered bath with overhead shower facilities but no wetrooms.  Sheffield City Centre, Bradford Central and Barnsley Central (M1, Jct 37) only offer wetroom facilities.  The spreadsheet entry for Huddersfield North says "disabled facilities available on request".
Of the 41 hotels 6 only give the number of AB (disabled) rooms which total 24.  Barnsley Dearne Valley and York City offer a choice of bathroom facilities.  Leeds South (Birstall), Sheffield City Centre Angel Street and Wakefield Central hotels offer only a lowered bath with overhead shower.  York North offers wetrooms only. 
Finally 8 hotels have absolutely no guestroom information.  Of these hotels 2 have information relating facilities while Doncaster Lakeside has only lowered bath with overhead shower.  Wakefield South (M1, Jct 39) offers 4 wetrooms.  The remaining hotels have no information on facilities.
As I have previously said in earlier posts it is a shame that hotel chains such as Prremier Inn do not give out accessibility information on their own websites.  All their sites have the same generic information which is very frustrating if you are looking for specific information.  The advice I was given by one hotel is to book a AB room online and then call the hotel to secure the type of bathroom facilility you need and that is all very well and good if they offer the type of bathroom facilities you require but if they don't you then have to cancel that reservation and look for another hotel that does.  This process can be very frustrating and can be costly at 13p per minute plus your operator costs. I have also have several frustrating calls to hotels where the staff on the desk do not know how many disabled rooms they have or what bathroom facilities and I was asked to call the desk later that day.  This is totally unacceptable especiallly if you are trying to find out facilities prior to booking and taking advantage of saver rates and offers. 
Disabled people spend a lot of money on leisure and it always feels as if there are a multitude of obstacles in their way when it comes to booking hotels in general and it wouldn't hurt for hotels to have information on accessible rooms and bathroom facilities available on websites, maybe one dy someone will take note and make changes for the better.
