[Ohio-talk] Hotel Feedback

[Colleen Roth]

Hi J. W.
There is another reason besides blindness that some of us like the Hotel.
It is not spread out. If you have difficulty walking long distances this is a great hotel.
If we were more spead out I would have to use a Wheelchair.
I am sure that I am not the only person who feels this way. We have several members who have had surgery for Hips and knees.
As for updated room; we are not in them that much.
As long as they have beds, runing water, and provide plenty of like-ens when requested that's all we need.
