Laguna burger – Albuquerque New Mexico

March 8, 2017

This was in a typical gas station.  There was not great parking, but it was okay. I could easily enough to get inside and the Laguna burger side was easy to get to the counter and our table worked well.

Mimi’s Café – Albuquerque New Mexico

March 12, 2016

This was across the lot from our hotel so it was not too difficult to get there. There was quite a bit of space in the front area and our table was easy to get to and worked well.

Drury Inn and suites - Albuquerque New Mexico

March 1 and March 12, 2016

We stayed at this hotel previously to and from Phoenix, one night went very well but the second time on our way back is why we haven’t been back. We also haven’t been able to find a better place in Albuquerque so we decided to try it again. This was the same exact room it was a bit crowded and there was not too much extra space, so that was difficult. 

However the bed was open underneath so the Hoyer lift could go under to pick me up. That made life a lot easier. I usually sleep on the other side of the bed so we did have to drag me across the bed but that wasn’t too bad.

The bathroom was good the sink was all right and the toilet had some room around it. This roll in shower looked all right although we didn’t use it. This room was at the end of the hall with handicap parking right out the door plus it was next to the ice machine. The rest of the hotel lobby and all and food room were all right.

Chick-fil-A - Albuquerque New Mexico

March 1, 2016

This was like just about all chick fil a restaurants I’ve been to.  It was quite accessible with plenty of space. Although it was at night and it was mostly empty.  There was a nice accessible table that worked well.

Town Place suites Albuquerque New Mexico

March 3 and March 11, 2015

We had a two-room suite with one bed in each room with a living area in between. This room had a good amount of space, but it just was not in the right places. It was nice to have two rooms with a bed in each, but there was not a ton a room around the beds the extra space was all in the living area. The floor in the bathroom was kind of lopsided. The sink was okay to use. There was a roll in shower that I didn’t a chance to use, but it looked a little on the skinny side. There was a table in the room that was very nice and worked great to get under and use. Since there wasn’t a lot of room around the bed and the lift wouldn’t go under anyways we had to sit me down on the corner and slid me up the bed.

Applebee’s Albuquerque New Mexico

 We walked and drove my wheelchair from the hotel. The sidewalk was decent between the two places, besides a rough spot or two.  Inside the place was all right and the table worked just fine maybe a tad on the low side but not bad.

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.

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.

Pei Wei Albuquerque New Mexico

March 4, 2014

There wasn't a handicap spot right at the place but next-door had one there was plenty of room and worked well however when we got here it started pouring rain. So we had to follow the sidewalk and a ramp to Pei Wei. Once we got in was fairly accessible with enough room to get around, but there were only a few other people there at the time. The table was all right. It was a lot easier leaving since it wasn't raining anymore.

Drury Inn and Suites Albuquerque - New Mexico

March 11, 2013

After our first stay on March 3, 2013, we were happy with everything especially that we finally found a hotel in Albuquerque with a two queen room with a roll in shower.  Well on our stay on the way home we were happy that we didn’t have to worry about what the room would have.  However when we arrived kind of late at night, they said that they double booked the room and gave it to someone else.  But they said they would give us an upgrade to a suite.  We thought that would work just fine.  When we got to the room, there was a sleeper sofa and a king bed.  None of us wanted to or could sleep on the sleeper sofa.  Also we didn’t want to all sleep together on the king bed.  So we had to go back down to the front desk and tell them it wouldn’t work.  So they said the only other room they could give us was a smoking room that was accessible with two queen beds.  This was not ideal, but at least we got the room free of charge. 

The next morning my dad went to talk to the manager, they said that they were really sorry and that they should have found us another place with the type of room we wanted.  Which that sounds great except for you’ll be looking for a long time, since there are not many.  That was the reason we stayed here was because this was the only place we have found in Albuquerque with the two queen beds and a roll in shower.

We had also reserved this room months in advance so it was very disappointing.  I’m not sure either why you would double book a specialized room, where the accommodations are required, like an accessible room/bathroom especially since there are only a couple of these rooms in the hotel. 

The next day after we returned home the area manager called and apologized again.

Drury Inn and Suites Albuquerque - New Mexico

March 3, 2013

The parking was good in the front of the building and there were also a couple spots on the sides of the building right next to the door. The front door was great since it was automatic. The spot at the end of the building right next to the door was close to our room which was at the end of the hall.  This made it really easy to unload and load back up.

 

Our room worked okay I guess it was an accessible room with two Queen Beds with a roll in shower.   It was difficult to get in and out of bed and we had to drag me to the corner so the lift could get somewhat under the bed.  The table in the room I could not quite get under. Our room didn't have a whole lot of space but a little more than a regular room.   

  

The bathroom was a good bathroom, the sink I could use good for brushing my teeth but did have a little trouble reaching the water and towels. The roll in shower we didn’t actually use but it looked like it would've worked well.  

 

The problem with this hotel comes on our next visit a week later.

Bostons – Albuquerque NM

March 3, 2013

 We went from our hotel across both parking lots to get to Boston's it was not very easy to get on the sidewalks. When we got there it was easy to get in the building and there was a good amount of space. It was easy to get to our table, the table worked well. I did not use the bathroom.

Hampton inn Albuquerque New Mexico

March 5, 2012



We had an accessible room which we walked into and there was a ton of space in front of beds and plenty of room between them.

In the bathroom I could get to the toilet and I could use the sink, just with help turning the water on. There were two mirrors, one at the desk and one in the bathroom, which didn’t work very well since they were kind of high.  I looked like the neighbor on the tv show home improvement.  There was no roll in shower, but there is a shower seat which doesn't work for me.  This was not too big of a deal since we were just there one night. The desk was okay and I could get under it.

There was also a large mirror that was also the door for the closet.  The handicapped parking spots outside were parallel parking spots which worked really well. We just had to make sure to get the ramp to come out so I could hit the break between the curb things. The front door was automatic so I could get in by myself.   It was a little bit of a pain to use the elevator there's not quite enough room in it and there's only one set of buttons on one side which someone would have to figure out how to get around me to get to the buttons.

There was some handicap parking in front and fairly close to the door, but the door wasn't automatic. There wasn't a lot of room in the hotel just about every place the breakfast room, lobby and other areas seemed tight. The room as well was very tight with not much room to do anything, even getting my wheelchair between the two beds. We had to use the Hoyer lift by scooting me to the corner of the bed and then getting up from there. So basically there was just enough room to sleep and that's about it.
