Welcome

Welcome to the Accessible Roadtrip Blog. I will be posting information about how accessible places I have been are, including information on bathrooms, restaurants, and hotels.

Country Junction Dyersville Iowa

We were in Dyersville to see this field of dreams movie site, and we stopped here for dinner. There were two handicapped parking spots directly in front of the door, which worked good with plenty of loading space. When we got into the place, it looked good and easy to get into and to the table, but then we went to the restroom. When we got to the restroom there was no way I could get in. You had to go in and turn immediately, so we went to the front and they said that they didn't have another accessible restroom so we had to go back out to the car. We were really hungry so we didn't want to have to pack up and go somewhere else. The table was good and easy to get under and there was plenty of room around the table, so other than the bathroom this place is pretty good

Wendy's, Ames Iowa

There was handicapped parking that was good, but we had to cross the drive through/traffic lane to get to the building. In the building there was plenty of room to get in line and to get to the bathroom. In the dining area the tables were small and a little hard to get under but I got between two of them and used the tray to fill the gap. The bathroom stall and bathroom were very good and quite a bit of room, the sink was a little difficult to get to over in the corner but other than that it was very good bathroom.

Danish Windmill, Elkhorn IA

After our stop in Omaha we are continuing on our way to Milwaukee.   We made a stop in Elkhorn, Iowa.  There was a Danish Windmill that we decided to visit.  There was a handicapped parking spot near the windmill at the store.  There was a little bit of a bump to get in but not real bad and inside was a little crowded.  I could get into the bathroom, there was no door.  I however was not able to get into the stall.  Across the parking lot was a Danish restaurant, but in the entry there was a kind of a step or bump or ledge that I couldn’t get over to get in so we continued on our way.

Comfort suites, Council Bluffs IA

9/7- 9/8

A few years ago we stayed at this hotel and were surprised to find a roll in shower after their website didn’t mention it. So we remembered this place and we were coming through again so we made sure we booked the 2 Queen Accessible room again.



There was a roll in shower which worked okay it wasn't quite wide enough for my shower chair and the grab bar was kind of in my way a little bit, but it might help someone. The shower worked ok but it kind of made a mess when the water leaked out, but it wasn't too bad. The bathroom was a good size and I could actually use the sink unlike most hotels. The toilet was easy to get to maybe not quite enough room on one side for someone to help me but it was okay. I could park my wheelchair between the two beds with plenty of room and I could see the TV well from there. It also had plenty of room every where else.
