Finding an Accessible NYC Hotel Room – and an Accessible Hotel
July 30, 2024
NYC Tourism asked me to write this article to help guide visitors on fining an accessible hotel room in the city. Of course, every hotel should have its required share of accessible rooms and those rooms should do more than meet minimum ADA compliance standards. I’ve heard too many stories from friends who’ve found, on arrival, that their rooms are too crowded with furniture; their bathroom doors are too narrow; their shower seats and toilet accommodations are not available; and indeed the accessible room they had booked and confirmed has been given to another guest. There’s so much more to say, and I’m sure that I’ve left some key factors out or misstated something. Please don’t hesitate to let me know what I have missed, or what I can add to a follow-up article.
