Visit Niagara Canada is currently working to compile a directory of accessible tourism partners across the region. In the meantime, the following tips can help those wanting to book an accessible hotel room narrow down their options for their stay.
Look For Dedicated Website Page Extensions That Speak To Property Accessibility
When a hotel makes the effort to dedicate a page on its website to highlighting the property’s accessibility features, it’s a good sign that it has a positive story to share. Niagara hotels with dedicated accessibility pages include:

Collect Information From Third-Party Sites
Websites like accessnow.com and wheeltheworld.com are other great resources for discovering the accessibility features of properties that their users have reviewed. Wheel The World has a helpful Hotels page.
Connect With The Hotel Directly
Although it can seem like the Internet has all the answers, taking a few minutes to speak with someone at the hotel you’re considering booking at can often be more revealing than a website description. Before calling, jot down the specific questions that are most relevant to you, including:
Are doorways wide enough for your chair?
Is there step-free access from the entrance to the room?
Are elevators reliable and spacious?
Are accessible rooms limited and, therefore, should be booked early?
Should you have issues with your wheelchair, does the hotel have wheelchairs available for guests?
