    You're welcome. I've just written a letter to a local business -- a very nice letter -- regarding a problem I had in the establishment. Can't wait to see if I get a reply. Will keep you all posted.

    Not all accessible lodging rooms are wheelchair accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Individuals with disabilities other than mobility related also have the right to accessible rooms. Be sure when reserving a room that the type of accessible room needed is clearly conveyed. Else you may end up in an "accessible room" for individuals with low or no vision and or deaf.
