NIAGARA FALLS BY WHEELCHAIR -- PART 5


NIAGARA FALLS ACCESS FOR DISABLED VISITORS

Niagara’s lodging includes huge, convention-sized hotels, many of the chain brands and mom and pop motor courts.

Our best pick for wheelchair access is the Courtyard by Marriott.

The relatively new property has an automatic door opener that leads to the lobby, a ramp to its pool and accessible parking.

The Courtyard, which has barrier-free rooms equipped with roll-in showers, is a quiet oasis in the heart of a bustling commercial area.

Speaking of action, Casino Niagara is within walk and rolling distance from the falls.

For those who drive, the casino has a few disabled-reserved parking spaces on-site and its shuttle busses from the satellite parking lots are able to accommodate wheelchair users.

Although the main entrance is oriented toward a grand staircase, each level of the casino can be reached by elevator.

However, some elevators are a bit hidden behind doors and are somewhat difficult to maneuver through.

The casino itself, which has the full range of gaming tables, slot machines and the like, has aisles that are plenty wide enough to wheel around.

STORY CONTINUES TOMORROW -- MARCH 26
