I checked into the Super 8 on November 9th through 10, 2006. When I arrived I asked for a handicapped accessible room. The manager told me that he would have to charge me that instead of the $59.99 room would have to pay an extra $20/night to have it. My husband is disabled so, I agreed to the charge. My daughter later told me that was a violation of the ADA.

The next day, my daughter, acting on my behalf, informed the manager that he should remove the charges. At first he said that I was not charged for an accessible room but that I was charged extra for a larger room. She explained that I had not asked for a larger room, I had asked for an accessible room, and informed him that was an ADA violation.

He then said it was because I had a dog. I had already paid for the dog, $20 per night ($40.00).

Then he said it was because my sister spent one night with us. He had already shaken me down for that, by insisting I pay him $10 cash. When my daughter asked for a receipt for the cash, he denied I gave him any money. He threatened to have my daughter removed from the hotel if she didn’t stop complaining.
