There IS Room at the Inn: Rewarding Vacations for Wheelers and Slow Walkers

New book There is Room at the Inn: Inns and B&Bs for Wheelers and Slow Walkers is released for summer travelers with accessibilty issues.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 13, 2006 -- Many wheelers and slow walkers interested in travel assume that inns and bed and breakfasts will be inconvenient, inaccessible, or unaccommodating. Candy Harrington debunks this myth in There is Room at the Inn: Inns and B&Bs for Wheelers and Slow Walkers. Inns and B&B’s can actually be more accessible than many hotels, as inn staff and management are often personally invested in accommodating their guests.

After all, when you really think about it, inns and B&Bs are natural choices for people who need accessible accommodations. Why?

•    Innkeepers are quick to point out their access shortcomings to prospective guests. After all, if they get something wrong, they have to face the music (and the guest) and explain the error face-to-face.

•    Innkeepers know every detail of their property, from the wallpaper pattern in the dining room to the toilet height in the accessible bedroom. And if they don’t know something offhand, they can easily go measure it.

•    Innkeepers can (and do) block accessible rooms—or any room for that matter—upon reservation.
