JMBM hotel and timeshare lawyer, David Sudeck informs us that the Department of Justice has received so many complaints concerning failed reservations, that the DOJ felt it necessary to include the changes to the law. Most of the complaints involve individuals who have reserved an accessible hotel room only to find upon check-in that the room the room they reserved was either not available or not accessible.
With Both STR and PKF updating their recent forecasts to reflect increases in both occupancy and ADR, as thus are seeing increases in RevPAR and profits, many hotels and resorts will find unexpectedly high demand for the remainder of the calendar year. This is especially true for destination beach resorts on the Atlantic Seaboard this summer, many of which are already near capacity especially on weekends as are resorts in other locations ranging from Las Vegas to Orlando. Even corporate hotels are now facing more high demand, mid-week dates.
