As of March 2012, hotels were expected to comply
with a set of ADA requirements. The pool and Jacuzzi, as well as bathrooms and
other areas must be accessible. Many had a hard time meeting
these requirements and a 60-day extension was given to the hotels.
I fell into this information after booking a room
through Priceline. After I booked online, I noticed the hotel's website
mentioned ADA so I called to ask for a room with an accessible bathroom.
Usually a handicap room means extra space in the room and bathroom. The hotel
staff explained that I was able to get two adjoining rooms for the one price I
already paid through Priceline. The room with the king size bed would be
equipped with a handicap bathroom.
When we arrived at the hotel, the staff was as helpful as they were on the phone. I was worried that this dream was too good to be true. I thought for sure, I was going to get slapped with a bill. However, we received the two rooms without an extra charge. The space was helpful in many ways. The bathroom had railings everywhere, was large and it was easier to maneuver Ben around. In addition, Ben's sleeping is crazy again and the extra room made a difference for us.

There does not seem to be a lot out there about
these recent changes, but here are some articles I found:
** And we stayed at Holiday Inn using Priceline Name Your Own Price. I highly recommend both.
