Dear Madame,
we could have for the requested period 2 double rooms with private bath-room, all suitable for disabled people.
Everything, the hotel entrance, the elevator, the access to the breakfast room, showers inside the bath-room and distances between the bed and the wall are specific for wheelchair users.
When You’ll know the exactly arrival and departure dates, we’ll be glad to send You a special offer regarding these two double rooms.Waiting for your kindly request, we remain with our best regards.

Sigh. Needless to say, there will be several more weeks of back and forth.
Oh Mama, good luck.
Yep, that’s the way it is. I like your list. I’ve never thought about inquiring with a list. Last time I traveled, I was just hoping to get lucky with their “it’s all accessible” promise.
Enjoying your blog. Nice WordPress theme.
Thank you! Welcome to the blogosphere. I love your blog’s tagline – I’ve done the getting to the elevator fast thing: Huntington Beach.
