WARNING: Avoid. On the WJAR Index this Westin gets a 1: if they don’t provide an accessible room when booked, then it’s NOT ACCESSIBLE. I’ve had several similar issues at other large Marriott properties using their online and call center booking. Some large Marriot’s (and Westins) no longer permit front desk booking – online is […]

On the WJAR Index the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise gets a 4 rating. It’s expensive, a bucket list item for me, but we had a magnificent stay with superb food, service and wonderful views everywhere.

We’ve visited the South Rim a couple times, most recently in late spring and stayed at the historic El Tovar Hotel (highly recommended). The Grand Canyon is really a destination attraction in the Arizona desert – and not too easy to access if you’re in a wheelchair. By far the easiest mode of transit is […]

The broad menu and wine list are among the best I’ve seen, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The entrance is level, no steps, and the entire very spacious restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible, except the private […]

Most of the major attraction animals (cougars, tigers, wolves) are accessible via paved paths, and staff was friendly and helpful. They opened gates that had been closed for Covid to give me an easier path. I wasn’t the only person there in a wheelchair that day either! On the other hand, getting down to the […]

Bathroom is at an odd angle, making getting in and out challenging if using a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Elevator doors close quickly, making getting in and out challenging if using a wheelchair, mobility scooter or walker. ADA complainant room is priced at a much higher rate (disgraceful, in my option)
