A handicapped room in a Hotel is designed for people with impairments. It has things like grab bars in the bathroom. Lower Mirrors and light switches.Extra phones Rounded corners. Space under the desk for a wheel chair maybe a pole next to the bed or overhead thing to help with getting into bed. The rooms are not identical and you need to ask what is in the particular room assigned to you.
It can have Braille sign and a flashing light connected to the door for the deaf.
There is usually only a few of these rooms at each place. If you DO NOT need it take a regular room and let those that NEED the space and other things have a room too.
You can use it if you are not Handicapped. Those in wheelchairs cannot use the other rooms..
The room is generally bigger as there needs to be room to manoeuvre a wheel chair around the bed, desk, etc. The bathroom is also larger. There will be rails (usually fold up) on both sides of the toilet and the toilet seat is usually higher. There will be an emergency cord or button both next to the toilet and in the bath/shower that a person could pull if they had an accident or neded assistance
I used to stay at the same hotel once a week for work and the handicapped room was the second largest room after the suite. Because I was there so often they used to often put me in the handicapped room because it was about 50% larger than their standard room.
Some areas are bigger and wider like the bathroom, and there's more floor space as people in wheelchairs need that room to move around. There's really no difference except the room is a little big bigger in some spots with extra room!

Normally a handicap is bigger. Like it has a bigger bathroom and bigger living area. Normally you have to have certification to get a handicap room; you can't just get one because it's big.
It may have less furniture, wider aisles and a bathroom with handicap hand rails . It varies, once we got a handicapped room and the bathroom had "roll in" shower, no tub, seemed like you could have rolled a wheel chair right in .
