Hotel Reservations Systems Litigation:

Effective March 15, 2012, the Department of Justice required that hotels must make reasonable modifications to reservations policies, practices, or

procedures when necessary to ensure that individuals with disabilities can make reservations for accessible guest rooms during the same hours and in the same

manner as individuals who do not need accessible rooms and that they must identify and describe accessible features in the hotels and guest roomsoffered

through its reservations service in enough detail to reasonably permit individuals with disabilities to assess independently whether a given hotel or

guest room meets his or her accessibility needs. 28 CFR § 36.302(e)(1)(i)-(ii)(emphasis added).

Hotels must also block and remove accessible rooms from all reservations systems once the rooms are reserved to eliminate the practice of double booking accessible rooms.

Today these requirements are widely ignored by hotels contributing to a crisis in accessible travel.
