Microtel Earns Kudos from Disability Community
Disability Rights Advocates (DRA) presented its ninth annual Eagle Award to Microtel Inns & Suites in recognition for excellence in providing accessible lodging for travelers with disabilities and for making a significant contribution to the advancement of people with disabilities.

DRA also cited Microtel for adopting the Opening Doors® program, which provides all staff with training in disability awareness and customer service. W.C. Duke Associates of Woodford, Virginia, developed the training program.

Microtel Inns & Suites offers three ADA-room designs and a variety of services. In order to better serve travelers with disabilities, Microtel now provides “Access Microtel” pamphlets, “Accessible Fitness” bags for guests to use in their room, and Upper Body Ergometers.

There are currently 297 Microtel hotels open or under construction worldwide.
