This guide was a pleasant surprise to read. Hype on travel that glosses over specifics is far too common in other guides, but that wasn't the case here. We're told where drapes couldn't be reached from a wheelchair, and the numbers of each type of accessible room (king, queen, nonsmoking, etc) available at each establishment. We're also told about the impressive group of "Accessibility Appraisers."

It will be most useful to me in knowing what places to avoid. For major hotels to have 15-25 accessible rooms, all with one bed, won't accommodate families like mine. Since we choose not to smoke, for hotels to designate all accessible rooms as "smoking" says to me that they're not doing all they should do to accommodate disabled people.

Perhaps a later edition will address traveling families, in which at least one member has a disability.

Book arrived in great condition and is very helpful to know the best ways to travel with a disabled person!
