hotel gripe

I've been doing a lot of traveling lately. Every time I rented a hotel room, I asked for a handicap room. I know I have mobility issues, and it would be nice to have little amenities like shower bars and extra space.

Every time I've asked for a handicap room, I've been told the same thing--all handicap rooms have a single king bed, not a pair of doubles. One hotel also added their handicap rooms were on the second floor, and the didn't have an elevator.

Are gimps like me not allowed to travel with children? I feel like I must have missed something in the handbook.
