What Is the Most Accessible Hotel Chain in America?

Sylvia Longmire is no stranger to hotel stays. Since she began traveling as a full-time wheelchair user in 2015, she has stayed in hundreds of hotels across dozens of countries and states. The biggest issues for accessible travelers, however, can be found when traveling domestically.

As anyone searching for accessible hotel rooms knows, the biggest problem when it comes to consistency is that at least 90 percent of hotels are franchises. This means that though branding stays the same, each location could look nothing alike and have varying levels of accessibility.

Enter Home2 Suites. The Home2 Suites chain is a Hilton brand that launched in 2011, one of Hilton’s first new brands in 20 years. Today, it has approximately 400 properties across the U.S. While most of them are franchised, the interior design elements are extremely standardized with minimal deviation and layout differences. An incredible bonus for wheelchair-accessible travelers. Read on as Sylvia gives the good, and the bad, for booking your next stay at a Home2 Suite hotel.
