Need Help Finding Accessible Hotel

Hello!

I need help. My dad is in a wheelchair and is unable to transfer himself to and from his bed/chair. We currently use a hoyer lift to transfer him at home. We currently live 3 hours away from Louisville and he is having surgery at 5am (maybe earlier) at UofL Hospital.

We really need to stay in a hotel the night before, but I am struggling to find a hotel that can accommodate a hoyer lift. I have found a Hoyer Lift rental company that can deliver one, but most hotels have boxs under the bed so the Hoyer lift's legs won't fit under the bed.

Any help?

Also, My dad could probably stay in his chair over night, but ever since their accident my parents haven't been able to sleep in the same bed. It's been over a year, so I know they would appreciate it.
