ADA Compliance Kits
The ADA−Americans with Disabilities Act−is a comprehensive bill designed to end discrimination against persons with disabilities and to provide full accessibility for persons with disabilities, including communication disabilities for those needing hearing assistance. No exemptions have been made for small businesses.
ADA Requirements
The ADA requires hotels and other public facilities to provide equal access to people with disabilities. Hotel rooms must be equipped with specific assistive systems for Deaf or Hearing Impaired guests. ADA Accessibility Guidelines, published by the U.S. Department of Justice, state you must offer the following devices:
- Text Telephone (TTY/TDD)
- Notification Systems

Pursuant recent changes in the law the chart below illustrates the number of rooms that are required to be equipped based on the total number of rooms in the facility. Hotels and motels are now required to disperse the Hearing Impaired accessible guest rooms. Updated 3/27/12.
