Accessibility Policy
The Bissell House, located in Pasadena, CA, warmly welcomes all guests. However, due to the historic significance of our 1887 Victorian inn, it is not completely wheelchair accessible. Removal of necessary physical barriers for complete accessibility is not readily achievable as such removal would threaten or destroy the historic significance of the property.
The physical barriers include the following:
- The walkway from the parking to the front door has some level changes.
- Elevated access requires climbing 5 or more steps.
- All guest rooms are located on the second and third floors.
- Due to the historic nature of the building, the interior structure includes narrow hallways and doorways that do not accommodate a wheelchair.
- There is no elevator.
- No rooms include a roll in shower.
