Hotels for hoist users P2
Hi, I asked this question before and now know some of the top-end luxury hotels where hoists work with the bed. However, I’m also interested in whether there are any lesser-known and more affordable mid-range hotels around Tokyo where the beds have enough space underneath for a hoist, and that also provide enough room to use the hoist for…

I agree. I only used the hoist for him in the bathroom and didn’t notice if the legs would go under the bed. Sorry not to be more of more help.
