ACCESSIBLE GEMS: WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY AMERICAN HOTELS
ACCESSIBLE GEMS: WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY AMERICAN HOTELS
By Steve Wright
They are on the beach, or at the mouth of a canyon.
They are in the center of the city that never sleeps, or in the middle of nowhere.
They are boutique properties, sprawling casino resorts and best of all, wonderfully accessible to people who use wheelchairs for their mobility.
They are members of our top 10 list of hotels that combine location, charm, luxury and down-home comforts with barrier-free features which go far above and beyond the typical standard of wheelchair accessibility.
They are in 10 different states and represent everything from members of huge chains to mom and pop operations.
Accessibility at a hotel, or inn is crucial for my wife, who has used a wheelchair for her mobility -- because of severe rheumatoid arthritis -- for four decades.
Our accessible top 10, ranked and rated, will be posted over the next 10 days.
