Make hotels adhere to the Equality Act 2010 regarding Family accessible rooms.
Make all holiday lets have "Family" accessible rooms - This breaches Equality Act 2010
Make booking a room the same for ALL customers
Enforce accessibility information to be factual and informative - This information is critical for disabled people to decide if they have made the right choice!
Hotel & cruise companies, etc. do not offer "Family" accessible rooms for disabled people. They do not have the facility to book accessible rooms via their website, yet they do for able-bodied families this breaches the EQ.
Disabled life is stressful as it is, booking a stay away should not be one of them. We should be able to book our stay the same way everyone else can. We should not be made to book extra rooms simply because the hotel in question refuses to abide by the Equality Act 2010.

We could accept a petition to change the law relating to accessible rooms, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
