Just spend lengthy amount of time trying to find phone number of specific hotel. All results are going thru third party. Which if I book thru them they can't guarantee handy-cap room. Even googled web site, of specific hotel, still takes me thru third party. Even googled how to get around third party. No result. Anybody know how to find phone number of specific hotel. These third party guys sure have the market cornered.

Try their Facebook

Anybody know how to find phone number of specific hotel.

I would first try their .com like https://www.marriott.com/ if the phone wasn't displayed, I would look for the Contact Us link. If that didn't work I would look for a Facebook link near the bottom of the page, sometimes they will have a number on Facebook.

Sometimes the 3rd parties won't give you a "confirmation number" instead they give you a reservation number that the hotel can't reference. Then it's a pain to get a refund because the 3rd party is sometimes out of the country.

Pat,
I don’t have time for snail mail, my departure date is Jan. 3th, Snail mail would not get to destination by Jan. 3rd. (example) If I put “Hold Mail” form in mail box outside my local post office, (Belleview, FL), Its pick up by local post office personnel, put in a truck an taken to Jacksonville, FL. Sorted and sent back to Belleview, FL, sort in Belleview, and put in in delivery slot, and the next day regular postman delivers to my mailbox. If a temp on that day he probably will not see hold notice which ends up with my medication from (Express Script) staying in my mail box for up to two weeks. Not making this up. This was told to me by postmaster when I complained. Now, as for Express Script, mine is from my military pensions and have very little complaints. The web site is very easy to order refills. If my prescription has expired, they automatically call my doctor. Some prescriptions the VA will not fill, so I get some from VA, some from Express Script. Thanks for letting me vent my frustration. Obviously, while talking to postmaster, I was on my best behavior.
Hotels that I want to visit again I put their no. in my computer. I will be heading to Savanah, GA, and Orangeburg, SC via I-95. To bad I was going I-10, I would stay with Doc.
AB, think I will try what you suggest. Not sure but think when web sit side tracts me to third party it’s a link through the third party. As said earlier third party has the system cornered. I actually get good deals at times thru Booking.com, but with the cold in Jan. I will definitely need Handicap room.

EDITED BY THE_DOC_MAN: Dick, you had a link behind what you posted. I left the text but removed the link. I know you didn't do that on purpose.

This is too much. I finally found a direct number use http for hotelxxx. However could not understand half his words. Asked if he had handy-cap room, yes but I had to book it thru third party. (Don’t ask me why, he couldn’t tell me) I think he might have meant their Corp number. Out of desperation booked thru third party. Received email confirmation, low and behold, direct number on confirmation. Call direct number, and asked if they had handy capped room. Answer yes, do you want to book it. Gave her my booking number. Reserved my room. Next time I need a room there I will call direct. Think I will start saving all the direct number. Great now I have to make a new DB.
Thanks to all who tried to help

Yes, being on the road so much I can't peruse some of my other passions such as motorcycle racing, stock car racing, but makings DB in motel is very convenient.

that's the worst.
try telling the 3rd party operator, "sorry, I'm in room 101 and I need more towels, can you transfer me to the front desk please, not sure how I got on this line"

some hotels are too fancy and like walgreens or the post office, all you can find is those damn call center numbers
