Hi John
To be fair, not everyone has access problems.
I have had a guide dog for 40 years. And Have had only one issue
with access, and that was in the late 1970s
Now I do have problem with Braille, but it's also fair to say
not all Braille users have problems that I have!

Yes but did John actually tell the hotel it's a guide dog?
Or did he just say; "my dog"
Many blind people have pet dogs, so it's important to ne clear.

I prefer to save waving the big stick until I have to and in your
place would ask to speak with the manager. If he wasn't immediately
amenable I would remind him of his obligations under disability law
and if he remained unhelpful and the hotel was part of a chain, I'd
ask for contact details for the parent group. At this point I'd
probably contact Guide Dogs for additional support and advice too.
Most times when I have been initially declined access to a cafi or
restaurant, asking to see the manager has usually overcome the
problem. So it's worth trying this first before going in with all
blazing--smile!** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
