I remember things well, it's good but that's because I see the person in my conversation with them. That's how it should be apart from a few essential things to have.<br />Just be weary of repeating yourself and get a big rocket up the not so weary, you g blood out there to carry the message. You do that, you inspire, inspire inspire.xxx<br />!<br />. <br />Jayne Walesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-47524402782139178552014-03-14T16:49:43.240-04:002014-03-14T16:49:43.240-04:00Sounds like Anastacia :

We went to a restaurant advertised as accessible where the ladies was at the top of a 13 step flight of stairs. They couldn't understand why I complained. Why couldn't just get out of the chair and go up. "It's *just* 13 stairs."

And put a short ramp at the door. With no marking or grab bar, of slippery tile, so anyone walking but unsteady would have trouble with it. Not enough room to turn at the top of the ramp, so my manual wheelchair had trouble. No way a motorized chair would fit.<br /><br />The otherwise beautiful shower had this TINY pull out seat, about 10 x 10 inches, which SLOPED. It wasn't installed correctly and wasn't level.<br /><br />Obviously someone spent a lot of money to make it into an "accessible room" without actually making it accessible.<br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-35228291230432955172014-03-14T09:38:39.358-04:002014-03-14T09:38:39.358-04:00You can stop writing about bad things - and not bo...You can stop writing about bad things - and not bore people - when they stop happening.<br /><br />Meanwhile, be sure to send them an email with a link to this post.<br /><br />'Accessible' means something. They don't have an accessible bathroom - access to the bathroom is part of the definition. They have a larger bathroom with grab bars (or whatever) in a normal room.<br /><br />If people like you who are good with words DON'T keep harping on things, they won't get fixed.<br /><br />Keep up the good work - I'm just sorry it is so exhausting for you to have to keep fighting the same battle.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-77264387356966638472014-03-14T09:36:52.035-04:002014-03-14T09:36:52.035-04:00the bigger bathrooms are placed in the smaller roo...<i>the bigger bathrooms are placed in the smaller rooms. So, you see, there's not really room for your wheelchair in the wheelchair accessible room.</i><br /><br />You know, that sounds like the same, bizarre, inverse, logic that shows up in my some of nightmares.

Or can a hotel put an "accessible" bathroom in a top floor room with no elevator and narrow doorways and market it as "accessible"? <br /><br />I believe you have written about restaurants which have ramps at the front door, but then have 1-2 steps to access the main dining area....<br />gpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621047190396415934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-9585939549983476152014-03-14T08:26:59.936-04:002014-03-14T08:26:59.936-04:00Sounds awful, though I agree that unfortunately it...Sounds awful, though I agree that unfortunately it is nothing new. I hope you found an accessible hotel room quickly. And I hope that, despite the weariness, you will write the letter of complaint, and that at the very least they will stop booking in people who need accessible rooms.Lounahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031075401203936622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-46919282471884537282014-03-14T07:44:48.218-04:002014-03-14T07:44:48.218-04:00the eloquence of not posting speaks so clearly.......the eloquence of not posting speaks so clearly.....i am sad that this happened, again.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-32833402496321484652014-03-14T07:41:16.757-04:002014-03-14T07:41:16.757-04:00Sorry this keeps happening to you.
