Hotel access needs email script | Ticked Bucket List Skip to content

Summary

What this is: A template you send to hotels to request practical accommodations (quiet room, lift access, temperature control).
Who it’s for: Travelers whose symptoms flare with poor sleep, stairs, long walks, cold/heat exposure, or noise.
Output: One concise message + a “must-have vs nice-to-have” list.
Method: Ask for features, not diagnoses. Keep it short and specific.
Decision thresholds: If sleep disruption reliably triggers flares, treat “quiet room” as mandatory.
Safety boundary: This is planning support, not medical advice.

Decision thresholds

Trigger	Action
If sleep disruption is a flare trigger for you	Do request a quiet room away from elevators/ice machines/road noise (mandatory).
If stairs increase pain/fatigue	Do request lift access or ground-floor room; confirm before arrival.
If temperature extremes flare symptoms	Do request reliable A/C or heating; confirm control in-room.
If check-in is late after travel day	Do request early check-in or luggage hold + a seated rest spot.
