Springhill Suites Salt Lake City airport

June 16-20

This is the hotel we stayed in for our time in Salt Lake City. We had made reservations for a two Queen accessible room with a roll in shower. When we arrived the place was very accessible with an automatic door to get in the front and plenty of space in the lobby area. When checking in my mom asked to make sure that there was a roll in shower because we've had that problem before. They said yes it did. So we go up to the room and I go look in the bathroom and there's a tub. So back downstairs we go. When we returned to tell them at the front desk that there was no roll in shower they acted very surprised. Apparently their computer system has that room marked as a two Queen with a roll in shower. So the one lady at the front desk took a list of the handicapped rooms available and went to check to see if they had what their supposed to have. When she came back she said they didn't have any two Queens with a roll in showers available tonight. So she tried to call around to other hotels after this didn't turn up anything she said we could stay in the room without the roll in shower for one night at a discount and then move in the morning for the rest of our stay. Since this was our best option we took it. And it worked okay except for being a pain to have to move everything and taking up time.

 

 

 

These rooms were both about the same with two Queen beds and a bit of a sitting area with a couch. For the bathrooms there were basically two of them one with the toilet and sink and one with a shower and sink. In our accessible room I tried to get in the bathroom and could not fit in with my power chair. The door was wide enough however because of where the beds were you couldn’t come straight into the door meaning you had to pull up to the door and turn in. So I wasn't able to get into either the bathroom rooms with my power chair. But the good news was my shower/toilet chair fit in. The roll in shower worked all right but was a little on the skinny side and a little extra space in the shower would've been nice.

 

Also in the room was a table that worked well for me to get under which was good since that's where I had to brush my teeth. The best part was my hoyer lift could go underneath the bed which was great since we didn't have to move me around so much to get in and out of it.

Lincoln Memorial rest area Interstate 80 exit 323

 This was a nice rest area that we stopped at before mostly because there's a good amount of area inside the sit and rest. I didn't see if family accessible room so we just use the regular restroom which worked okay.

 

 
 
 

 

Subway Rawlins Wyoming

When we arrived we ran into our first problem.  There was a truck that was parked with their front blocking the ramp to get on the sidewalk. So after I think they realized this they moved so we could get on the sidewalk. Then it was easy to get in the restaurant and there was an accessible table that worked great.  It was also very easy to get around the restaurant. The bathroom wasn’t the best but there was enough room.

Rest area in Wyoming Interstate 80 east and west at exit 41 Lyman WY

This rest area was just like the previous one we visited at Fort Steele in the building set up and the parking lot. However the accessible bathroom was more spacious and quite a bit easier to use. And no full blast air-conditioning.

 

 

 

 

Salt city burger company Sandy Utah

When we arrived here there was a very good handicap parking spot right in front.  Then when we entered the restaurant they told to sit wherever we thought would work best.   This was nice because sometimes they try to sit you at places that will not work like a booth. We picked a table that worked well. It was easy to get to the condiment and topping bar for your burger. Before we left I went to the restroom and the only problem was there were some chairs that were in the way down the hallway toward the bathroom. My dad moved a couple of them so I could get to the restroom. This was a very good restroom, pretty big and was very accessible.
