Hotel Booking Tips
- Be specific. Don’t book a room just because it has been rated accessible. Identify your needs and ask detailed questions. Does it have grab bars, a roll in shower, etc.
- Ask about the distance in between wall if you travel with special equipment.
- Ask for the height of the sink and if cabinets are underneath.
- If you use a wheelchair, ask about the height of the closet, AC control panel, mini-bar, light switches and any other relevant items.
- It is preferable that you call directly the hotel to reserve the room so that you may ask specific questions.
- Ask if the grab bars are by the sink, toilet, tub and shower.
- If needed, ask if the mini bar can be used to store special medication.
- Many multi-story hotels put their “accessible” rooms on upper floors. ASK. Remember, in case of fire, the elevators don’t work.
- Make sure the bathroom door opens out.
