Comfort suites Milwaukee Wisconsin

For the time we were in Milwaukee we stayed at the Comfort suites in Milwaukee Wisconsin from September 10 through September 14, 2011.


My mom made sure by asking at the front desk to make sure that the room had a roll in shower. they said yes it did have a roll in shower. When we got to the room, which was on the second floor, we went in the bathroom and there was a tub instead of a roll in shower. We went back down to talk to the front desk and they said how sorry they were.  They also said that we could use the room and then tomorrow night we could move to a 2 queen room that was connected to a king room with a roll in shower at the same rate.

We slept in the queen room so my parents would be there if I needed help during the night. The king room with a roll in shower was great. The bathroom was a very good bathroom with more than enough room to do everything. The toilet had plenty of room around it, and the sink I could actually use.


Both rooms had plenty of space and room to put stuff and for me to get around. The desk was okay and both rooms had flat screen TVs. The only problem with the two rooms was the connecting doors were a pain. There were two room doors, two connecting doors and two bathroom doors that would all open to the same spot which made getting through a little difficult. We had to go to the corner of the bed to use the lift and slide me up the bed like we have to do at most hotels.

This place was very accessible throughout the hotel, the front door was automatic and it was a spacious area in the front area of the hotel. The breakfast room was large and was easy to get through.

This place was great for accessibility, but not so much for what we needed. If you need a one King room with a roll in shower or a two queen accessible with a tub this was a great place.

Polonez Polish restaurant Milwaukee Wisconsin

September 14, 2011


Polonez Polish restaurant Milwaukee Wisconsin



The front door was not accessible. The handicapped parking spots were full, so we parked in the back and had to use the back door that had the handicapped logo on it which worked fine. The bathroom barely worked but I could get everything done. In the restaurant it looked like there was plenty of room and I was easily able to get to the table and many more tables will work fine as well.

Saz’s State house milwaukee wi

September 14, 2011.

There were a couple of handicapped spots that were full so we had to park further out into the parking lot. The front door was not accessible so we had to use the handicap entrance which was in the side of the building. I had to go up a ramp to a door that was marked as handicapped. When inside we went through the restaurant to the front to get seated. The inside seemed okay there were plenty of tables that were accessible for a wheelchair. We did not try the bathroom.

Miller Park Milwaukee Wisconsin

The handicapped parking was right up close. They wanted us to park in a parking spot but we couldn’t because our ramp came out on the other side so when they finally figured out what we meant, they let us park in a different spot. The main concourse was very easy to get around him easy enough to get to the concessions. The Brewer store was busy and was very crowded. Our seats were ok with a good view. There were multiple family rooms, one of the regular rooms would have worked ok, but a non-handicap person was using the one handicap stall.

Oak leaf trail Milwukee WI



This trail was along Lake Michigan. It was a good paved trail to drive my chair on. There were some restrooms that were okay and some that were hard to get into. There were quite a few places to sit every so often. The parking lot was a good, but I don't think there were too many handicapped spots but that day at least it wasn't very full so we had room to park.

Qdoba Milwaukee Wisconsin

September 13, 2011


We were going to go to a Korean restaurant but it really didn't look accessible. Just down the street was a Qdoba. This was a basic Qdoba you go, just like any other one. The counter was a little high, there was enough space to get around a little bit, the bathroom was a good-sized room that worked well and the Table worked good to.

Milwaukee public market

September 14, 2011



The parking garage had free one hour parking with a purchase. The handicapped parking was good with plenty of spaces with plenty of space. Inside was kind of crowded, but I could get most of the way around the place but it was hard to get into some places. There was an elevator to the top floor where there were tables which we did not use. We went outside where there were a few tables, which we used to eat our frozen custard. Kehrs custard was where we got the custard. They kind of had a high counter but I was able to get my order.

Ruby Tuesday Milwaukee Wisconsin

September 12, 2001

After driving up to Green Bay, we just wanted to get back to the hotel which was next to the ruby Tuesday so we went to Ruby Tuesday. It was next to the hotel but there was no sidewalk between the hotel and their lot, so I drove through the parking lot. There was one place to get on the sidewalk at the building so I had to drive through the parking lot quite a ways. Inside we were seated at a good table. The space was good and there was room to get around inside plus the Wi-Fi worked well.

Botanas Mexican restaurant Milwaukee Wisconsin

September 11, 2011


The front door was not accessible, but we pulled into the lot next to the building that had an attendant. We told him I in a wheelchair and let us use the parallel handicap spots. Which then put our ramp out into the road into the parking lot. The attendant at the station told them inside that I was in a wheelchair and someone came out and held the door to get inside which was up a ramp. This worked fine. The first bathroom we saw was not accessible, but our waiter showed us to the accessible bathroom. This was a pretty good bathroom. The sink was good for me and the stall I think would have worked, but was full. Inside the building it was little tight in places and a little hard to get around but it was okay. This was not the most accessible place, but they did everything they could to make it easier.

Milwaukee Brat House Milwaukee Wisconsin

September 11, 2011


We parked in a parking lot on a Sunday and the whole lot was empty. The parking lot was kind of rough to drive across; I had to be careful when I drove my wheelchair so I didn’t hit a hole. We probably had to walk about a block or two to get to the restaurant, and the sidewalk was really rough, mostly because Milwaukee is really old. I was able to get across it through it. A few tables in this place work good, the rest where booths and at the bar. The table we sat at was in front of a TV which was good for a Sunday for football. There was no way I can get into the bathroom.
