It struck Brett as more than an amazing coincidence that he kept arriving at hotels only to find they did not have the facilities he’d been promised ahead of time. Given the technology available today, why isn’t there a better way to ensure that guests who need accessible hotel rooms actually get them? This question is the driving force behind brettapproved.com. Providing information about the accessibility of restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues in the form of user-generated reviews is a great place to start. With the help of a proprietary rating system (the brettscore™), anyone who creates a free profile on the site can submit a review. At brettapproved, our goal is to give people with disabilities the opportunity to travel confidently by removing as many of the “unknowns” as possible before you leave home.
Thinking about checking out a new local restaurant but you’re hesitant because you’re not sure about the parking? Do you want to go to happy hour with co-workers but you want to make sure the restroom will meet your needs? Looking for a hotel in Oregon that your entire family can enjoy? Don’t worry, our full-service accessible travel experts have you covered.
Most importantly, if there are restaurants, hotels or entertainment venues that work for you and they’re not listed on brettapproved.com, create a free profile and share them with our community. After all, knowledge is much more powerful when we share it, right?
At brettapproved, our goal is simple: to help anyone with a physical disability or mobility challenge travel confidently, but we can’t do it alone. We need you! After all, we’re in this together.
