Catering for every size and physical needs is essential!
Meet Mary Fran Donnelly, a teacher, and body positivity advocate.

From small towels and tinier chairs to the tiny toilet, Mary Fran’s clips have garnered over six million views on TikTok.
Mary Fran Donnelly, 27, has demonstrated how unsuitable the hotel industry is for plus-size guests.
The clips perfectly describe how much the hotel industry is far from catering to people of different shapes and sizes.

Instead of being all angered about it, the social studies teacher handled the matter with a sense of humor, pointing out all their room’s design flaws.

As fun as it may appear, it’s not always easy to cope with such situations.
“Let’s take a look at the bathroom. Would you like to take a pee or a poop? Don’t worry; you’ll barely fit.” Mary Fran said at the beginning of her first video in the series. Moving to the shower, Mary Fran also showed the harsh reality of using the bathroom’s towel to dry off, but as she demonstrated, it didn’t fit either.
Mary Fran’s incredible sense of humor has made the tour video go viral with millions of views on TikTok.

The hotel pool towels appeared to be a bit far! Mary Fran revealed that the towels often leave a wearer having to pick between covering their back, side, or the front of their body. “After a swim, maybe you want to go sit on the balcony.” Mary Fran stated in the hope of enjoying one of the hotel’s amenities. She continued: “Oh look, a lovely table with a chair. Will it house me? I’m not too sure.” Mary Fran eased onto the chair but instantly snorted a laugh and sarcastically called it stable.
