Reply To: Mobility scooters in hotels
A few years back I heard of someone who was asked to leave it in the hallway instead of bringing it in their room… but never restricted to outside.
Now, mobility scooters are still very rare here, so the hotel staff maybe thinking if the big 4-wheel scooters seniors drive on the street and not be aware that smaller ones exist.
You may want to send a picture of it to the hotel so they get a better idea. They may even have looked up scooter and seen pictures of vespas…
However if that still doesn’t work, might be better to try a more understanding hotel…
