Hilton SLC-Utah Review

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Daniel & April

SLC-HiltonReview
We had a fantastic stay at the Hilton in Salt Lake City, Utah. It might not look too thrilling from the outside but the inside was gorgeous. It was warm and inviting. The staff was kind and helpful.

What we really loved was the bathroom in our room. It was wheelchair accessible done right! The shower was huge and all of the handles, knobs, shower heads were with in reach! The toilet (not pictured) was a great height, with wall mounted assist bars that were well placed.

Another fantastic feature was that the bed was NOT on the typical huge platform.

Even the carpet in the hallways were not the usual thick arm breaking quality, it was nice and smooth and did not require assistance just to make it too our room.

Thank you for paying attention to all these details they REALLY added to the enjoyment of our stay.

The only BIG accessibility issue was the outside. If you plan on walking to a local shop or restaurant the driveway down to the sidewalk is extremely steep. It definitely requires assistance.

(FYI: They do have restaurants located within the hotel. While the food was excellent we found them to be a bit too pricey for our taste.)

Comfort Inn Fallon NV

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Daniel & April

COMFORT-FALLON-REVIEWOn our way home from our amazing Salt Lake City, Utah trip, we decided to stay the night in Fallon Nevada. We were over tired from driving all those hours and it was a spur of the moment stay. We had not made any reservations so of course we “googled” local hotels.

First we stopped at the Best Western but they had no wheelchair accessible rooms available and then the lovely hotel desk clerk directed us to the Comfort Inn. She also informed us they were known to have roll-in-showers at Comfort Inn, which is exactly what we needed. (FYI: A roll-in-shower is a shower that is all tile with no edges, no lip, and no tub basin. Made perfectly for a person in a wheelchair to roll right in to the shower without having to transfer.)

So to aid other travelers who are in wheelchairs or for those that have family members in wheelchairs this is our review of their accommodations.

Overall it was a pleasant stay, but if I had been on my own it would have been difficult. Room was well suited accessibility wise, but getting in the building was a pain.
