Reply To: Mobility scooters in hotels
There are cases that the whole building is with wooden floor and guests are supposed to step on it after taking off their shoes. In such circumstances, scooters may be declined. Other cases are that they have not enough space to let the guest move around with wheelchair or scooters. These they should normally be aware of the legal environment that they cannot simply reject the accessibility needs without reason though.
