Check Accessible Accommodation Before You Travel — Free
Booking an accessible room and arriving to find a step, a bath or a bed at the wrong height is one of the most common ways a trip becomes a problem. A checklist with owners and dates turns the questions into work done before departure.
The proof surface
Free path: the tool computes locally in this browser with no key and no account. Where an AI step helps, any free chat assistant works — free tiers exist (Google AI Studio, Groq), but plans and limits change, so check the provider's own page. No third-party service is claimed here as verified: UNCONFIRMED — model has no browsing access this session.
Why the flat version breaks
Hotel websites describe accessible rooms in one paragraph and rarely answer the specific questions that matter: door width, shower type, bed height, distance to a lift. Each question gets its own line, its own owner and its own date on the chart.
How to use the accessible stay check sheet in four passes
Door width, shower type, bed height, grab rails, lift distance and the route from the car. Each one becomes a line, and each line gets answered in writing.
Some checks belong to the hotel, some to a supplier and some to you. An unowned line is the one that is still open at the airport.
A description of 'accessible' is not a measurement. A photograph of the doorway or a quoted door width is the answer that settles it before you travel.
Outstanding checks sort above completed ones. In the last few days the top rows are the ones that still have time to change a booking.
SAMPLE DATA, NOT A VERIFIED CLAIM: the starter record is a three-night hotel stay with seven checks including door width, bed height and equipment delivery. Replace these values with your own source before you rely on anything.
What breaks first
Relying on a booking site's accessible-room tick box
A filter is not a confirmation, and it is common for a property to have one accessible room and many bookings. Confirm the specific room in writing with the property.
Leaving the equipment question to arrival
Equipment hire, delivery times and storage are organised days or weeks ahead in most destinations. Add them to the sheet as their own lines.
Assuming a companion ticket covers everything
Companion tickets often cover the main event and exclude travel, accommodation or social events. Ask, in writing, and put the answer on the sheet.
What you pay otherwise
| The usual route | What it leaves out | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| An unusable room at check-in | A move to another property at the traveller's own expense | the room rate again |
| Equipment hired at short notice | Premium rates and availability problems on arrival | 2× the booked rate |
| A specialist accessible-travel agent | Service fee for the same written questions, asked by someone else | $50–$250 a trip |
| This page + the free accessible stay check sheet | Computed in your tab, result on screen before you type anything | $0 |

Boundary: This organises questions you ask a property; it does not inspect accommodation, verify any accessibility claim or certify that a room meets a standard. Accessibility requirements, assistance entitlements and complaint routes differ by country and by provider — confirm the details in writing and use the provider's formal complaints process if a confirmed arrangement is not honoured. This tool makes no finding about any accessibility standard, and anyone relying on a room should treat written confirmation from the property as the only statement that counts.
