Stupid Guest Tricks (Was: OT - Anyone here own a restaurant?)

As much as I sympathize with you on most topics, what you describe is
in effect a violation of title III of the ADA (whereby you are
charging your handicapped guests more money for your services -- does
not really matter whether or not it is advertised); in the
long run, an occasional free upgrade will cost you a lot less than
a lawsuit (even though the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor, i.e.,
very few of such suits ever go to court and even fewer award anything
to the plaintiff, you might meet someone with a better lawyer or
just lucky)...
That isn't true at all. He said he charges everyone the same fee for a
ground floor suite. I haven't read the ADA rules lately, so I don't
know if he is compelled to install an elevator to provide access to the
cheap suites, but I think there were grandfather clauses for small
businesses.
