Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well.. speaking of my other list.. a list member just sent this out to the group and I think the message is a great one for us too. Alice This might be off topic, but sure saved me a bundle. Was going out of town to a convention held at a Hilton Hotel. No room in the inn when I phoned for reservations. BUT their " sister chain " the Hampton Inns did have a room. Satisfaction guaranteed, deluxe continental breakfast and all that. So I booked the room, and asked if they had the ADA compliant things for deaf people (vibrating alarm clock, door knock signaller, phone flasher, motion sensor, strobe for fire alarm, etc.). The reservation person asked if I was handicapped, and I said, Yes, so the rate went from $139 to $89. YEP, $50 LESS if you are disabled. Breakfast was great. One day it was scrambled eggs and sausage, along with various tees, coffee, biscuits, bagels, muffins, cereal, fresh fruit, and so on. The next day it was Belgian waffles and sausage plus all the above listed things. They had apples and bananas available 24/7, tea, coffee, cocoa 24/7 and cookies in the lobby at night. So, if you're travelling go with a Hampton Inn and tell them you are disabled, and it will get you a better rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
