is this in violation of ADA laws/regs? I'm familiar with ADA as it relates to transit, not with hotels/restaurants and the like.""'
My understanding: IF you are OPEN to the PUBLIC, you must have the ADA accomodations.
Hilton is headed for a big problem if they are going down this path.
In other words, businesses in older buildings did not have to rip out narrow doorways, stepped floors, and tiny bathrooms until or unless they renovated.
I could be wrong, but since the ADA was a federal law, requirements for compliance are probably the same in all states.
