We’re thinking about going to Poland in October. Does anyone have experience going there in a wheelchair—Warsaw, Cracow, Lodz, Auschwitz. And does anyone have experience with Accessible Poland Tours, Margaret Tokarska?

Thanks so much!

Hi, my husband, and I would live to travel more. But find it very difficult when motels, say they have handicap rooms. And their beds are all closed in around the bottom of the bed. The reason is my husband is a quad and uses a portable lift to transfer him into the bed. which requires open area under the bed so the lift can roll under the bed for the transfer. I always have to call the motels in the area of where we choose to stay and ask them this question, does your handicap room have a bed on legs? You will be surprised how many motels say no. So, for us we don’t get to choose a motel we would like to stay in, but a motel maybe of lesser quality as it is open underneath. Most of the handicap rooms we have stayed in have the handicap bathroom. but since my husband is a Quad he only uses the sink. Also would like to mention. I prefer no carpet in the rooms as it is difficult for his lift to roll on carpet. He is 6’1. 185 lb. If anyone every comes across a nice motel on the east coast that has beds on legs, please keep us in mind. I think this is a great website to refer to.

Hi, my husband uses a power wheelchair (post polio/chronic pain). We are once again about to drive down to Berkeley, CA, for another visit to see our third grandchild. Ideally, we would love to be able to stay at an AirB&b but they are nigh to impossible to find for someone in a power wheelchair. You are all familiar with the usual problems…steps either to entryways or somewhere inside, bathrooms and/or bedrooms not large enough to accommodate a power wheelchair, showers too small, etc. And yet staying at a hotel becomes cost prohibitive after a few nights. Does anyone have additional ideas or know of any possibilities? We are planning to stay there around the second to third week in July, a total of about 10 days. We’ll be driving down in our mobility van. Thanks for any suggestions.
