A test case of another kind for the Supreme Court: Who can sue hotels over disability access

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is taking up a case that could make it harder to sue hotels when their websites aren’t clear enough about their accommodations for people with disabilities. The justices are being asked Wednesday to limit the ability of so-called testers to file lawsuits against hotels in Maine and elsewhere that fail to disclose accessibility information on their websites and through other reservation services. For people with disabilities, accurate information is critical to their travel plans. Joseph Stramondo is a San Diego resident under 4 feet tall but was given a room accessible for people with hearing loss. The room didn’t have bars in the bathroom or a door wide enough for his wheelchair.
