Hi Robin,
That did not happen to us, or I would have immediately relinquished
my room to someone who needed it more; I didn't think to tell them I didn't
need one, but sometimes, they do ask, but a very good point you made, so
I'll always be sure to let an establishment know that I don't require an ADA
room.

Actually John they normally do ask if you need an ADA room. I am sure some
people who did not need them took them even when asked because lets face it
a lot of people just want to check in and be done with it. The sad fact is
all hotels have a limited number of ADA rooms and with our population aging
at some point we are going to find it hard to get a hotel with enough ADA
rooms. One of the largest hotels in Las Vegas with over 3000 rooms had less
than 65 ADA rooms. This is a lot compared to most large hotels. Many have
fewer than 10 such rooms. Grab bars in all the rooms would be way to costly
for most hotels and believe me in the end the cost would be passed on to
you. As John said it would not matter about the grab bars anyway since most
hotel bathrooms are too small for a wheelchair or walker. I cant say I
would blame anyone who waited all day for a room if they took an ADA room at
some point. Now one other thing they really could have done for those
without ADA rooms was offer a room at their sister hotel since it was nearby
but frankly I doubt anyone would have gone for that.

Never underestimate yourself. You are a special person and there is no one
quite like you.
