The hotel for the Chicago WorldCon was a pain even if one was in good health and had no mobility problems. I'm in the "I'm not disabled, I'm just old" group (which has its own set of accessibility issues). I never made it to the party floors, as the 20-30 minute wait just to get on the elevator put me in so much pain that I got off at my room and stayed there.
Three things that would have really helped me:
1. A way to sit down and not get bumped out of lines. (I may end up getting a walker for other cons for just that reason.) 2. Better signage. The type on the room signs showing what events were in them was way too small to read without getting up on top of them. 3. Better 'color coding' on the pocket programs. At least there was a legend which LOOKED like some of the events had been color coded somewhere, but all the grays looked alike to my eyes. Try a crosshatch or other textured fill next time, guys.
