Accessible Hotel Spotlight: The Hilton Mclean Tyson’s Corner

By Jennifer Allen

I have to agree with my eight-year-old that The Hilton Mclean Tyson’s Corner is one of the most accessible hotels we’ve ever stayed in.

As a family, we often have a hard time finding hotel rooms that meet our needs. An accessible King is the only option at many hotels – which isn’t great for families with kids or for disabled adults traveling with a caregiver. Hilton Mclean Tyson’s Corner had several room options across both bed types and shower types. We opted for an accessible tub and low bed heights – perfect for our family with young kids, including one who can’t stand up to get into bed.

We had pretty high expectations when our key card automatically opened the room door, and we weren’t disappointed. Other features included:

• ROll under sinks
• Lower room controls
• Accessible swimming pool
• Accessible on-site restaurant
• Assistive listening devices for meetings upon request
• Audible alarms
• Doorbell w/Audio/Strobe Alert
• Lower or Adjustable Closet Rod
• Phone Audio/Vibrate/Strobe
• Raised toilet seat
• Roll-in Shower
• Service Animals Welcome
• Teletypewriter for guest use
