This study investigated the lodging industry and its accessibility for the disabled population, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Surveys were sent to hotels, motels, and inns in the Cincinnati, Dayton, Indianapolis, and Lexington areas. Facilities were placed into three categories (economy, mid-scale, and upper-scale) based on their rate to stay. Data was analyzed to obtain an overall percentage score and a percentage score for each facility based on compliance. Correlation data was also used to analyze relationships. It was hypothesized that the majority of facilities will be compliant, and that upper-scale facilities would be more compliant than economy-priced facilities. Results show there was more accessibility for individuals with low vision and mobility impairments than for people who are hard of hearing. In addition, there was no substantial difference between compliance scores for the economy and upper-scale facilities. This paper also presents limitations of the study as well as suggestions for future research.
