I’ve traveled across the country and had a hard time finding affordable, decent hotels that actually understand what wheelchair accessible means. We’ve stayed at Holiday Inn Express for over 20 years, but lately, accessibility seems hit or miss. Some newer ones have two beds and better layouts, but many lack roll-in or even walk-in showers, grab bars by the toilet, or a shower chair. Twice I’ve been booked into “communication accessible” rooms instead—great for those who are hearing-impaired, but not wheelchair users.
Another issue: those pedestal beds. They’re far too high for my 92-year-old dad and even a stretch for me at 5’2”.
So I’m wondering—what nationwide hotel chain actually offers lower beds, grab bars by the toilet, a walk-in or roll-in shower with a bench, and two queen beds? Some only have king beds in their accessible rooms and suggest booking two rooms—no thanks.

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.
