  comment Brescia is not a tourist city. Not many hotel. Economy hotel was full. So I asked this middle high class hotel. But they did not accept me to stay. I guess I was so dirty and use a wheelchair. I killed one hour to go around the city and went back this hotel again. I said in Italian " Please stay at this hotel, otherwise I sleep outside." They accepted. I did not why they refuse me. They had an elevator and nice equipment. Sometimes it was difficult to get an accommodation wheelchair alone. It is a discrimination.
