Handicap Hotels

The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act included a range of provisions for improving accessibility and facilities for disabled Americans in buildings throughout the nation, including hotels. Since the bill's enactment, access for the handicapped at hotels has improved significantly. In particular, large chain hotel groups have committed to making their properties the ideal venue for handicapped travelers. Guests should always specify their need for handicap-accessible rooms when making reservations and should call in advance for details.
