I always stay at the Crowne Plaza every time that I come to Houston. When I make my reservation I always ask for a handicap room. When I arrive on September 27, I was t old that you didn't have a handicap room available. I hope that it doesn't happen again. You had a line with about 30 people, and being handicapped is bad, but I was so sick until I don't remember checking -in. I am now at MD Anderson Cancer Center with pneumonia. Please have a little mercy for the handicaps.
