Already a well-regarded business, Microtel and its affiliates run 1,218 properties in 49 U.S. states and throughout South and Central America. An advantage in tackling the ADA stumbling block other hotels often face in performing building retrofits to accommodate for wheelchair users, is Microtel's program of building each property as a new structure. From the beginning, Microtel has taken pride in going beyond some of the ADA's requirements. Leven highlights the accommodations made for deaf travelers. Our hotels have TTY's and hearing aid kits with telephone alerts.
Rooms have door knock alerts, vibrator alarm clock systems, and telephone amplifiers.
The smoke alarms for the visually impaired, the decibels are ten times greater than other rooms. Also, a flashing strobe light for hearing impaired goes off. Alarm horns must be at least 85 decibels. Microtel goes beyond the letter of the law in other ways. Reception counters are situated lower than in other hotels to accommodate wheelchair users, and all public areas have accessible restrooms.
