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.

Red Iguana Salt Lake City Utah


June 17, 2014

This place was very crowded and not very accessible. The first issue was we had to wait outside for about 45 min. this was okay except for when it started pouring. So mom and I went back to the car and dad waited by the door for our name to be called with an umbrella from the restaurant. Once our wait was up we went in and quite a few people had to move for me to get past and to our table. Once we got there it was a little crowded around the table but after I got my wheelchair parked they could move the table a bit. Then the fun part was trying to get to the bathroom. The restrooms did happen to be quite close to our table, so no other customers had to move for me get past. But there was a little shelf right where I needed to turn. A couple of the staff noticed this and tried to move the shelf but then they noticed the power strip was wrapped around part of the shelf so it wouldn't move without unplugging some things. But on the other side in the corner behind the shelf was a trashcan that they moved and then could move the shelf a bit.  After this I was just barely able to get through. Once we got to the restroom was actually not too bad, a little crowded but a lot better than I expected. On the way back to our table I actually got through a little bit easier because I didn't need to make as sharp of a turn.

Bohemian brewery Salt Lake City Utah

June 17, 2014

There was a parallel handicap spot next to the building. There was also a bump at the door at this place as well. Inside was good and easy to get around and they even gave us an extra-large table that worked well.

Robert's restaurant Salt Lake City Utah


June 16, 2014

Two handicap spots right in front. Right at the door there was a ledge which made a big bump to go over. Inside wasn't too bad but crowded here and there. But then came the fun part when I had to go to the restroom.  It was way back there at the back it seemed like we had to keep going forever to get there. Inside I couldn't quite get in the stall so I used my urinal in front, but the stall door and bathroom door kept getting in the way and it was difficult to get to the sink.

Fort Steele Rest Area in Wyoming Interstate 80 west at exit 228

June 16, 2014

There was a small inside area. Inside was a family accessible room which had a decent amount of space but the AC was on and it was freezing. Parking was good and there was a good amount of a loading zone.

Arby's Laramie Wyoming

 June 16, 2014

This street just past was messed up with construction but we did make it in. There was good handicap parking on the west side of the lot.   The lot was split into two so the handicapped parking is just on one side. There were two doors to get in. Inside was basic for fast food restaurant. The door into the restroom came out of the bathroom which was good since there wasn't a ton of room inside. But the stall and sink still worked okay.

Horsemans Haven Santa Fe New Mexico


March 13, 2014

Parking wasn’t so good we parked out a ways next to an open spot.  Inside was rather crowded just about everywhere.  In the restroom I couldn’t get in the stall real well so I used my urinal in the corner.  Our table/ booth thing had seats on each side that came out further than the table, so it was a little awkward, but it was wide enough to get into.

Courtyard by Marriott Albuquerque New Mexico


March 4, 2014 and March 12, 2014

 
We were in a two Queen accessible room with a roll in shower. This was located on the first floor. One of the beds was smaller than the other I think maybe a queen and a double, but either way it worked for us. We couldn't get the lift under the bed all the way. We still had to drag me to the corner of the bed but the lift went further under the corner of the bed than expected. This wasn't the most spacious room but it was doable to get everything done at night and in the morning. There was a sliding bathroom door which was good.  
 
 
 
 
The bathroom had a decent roll in shower and the toilet was easy enough to get to.  However the fan in the bathroom was loud and had to be on when the light was on so I went in the dark.
 
 
There was a table/desk in the room that was nice and worked well for me as it was easy to get under.

March 12, 2014

The handicap parking was good but it was across a traffic lane to the building.  The restroom was a little crowded, but everything worked ok.  Everything else was just like any other chick fil a.
