A: It sounds like you are facing a difficult and unfair situation. Being asked to leave a hotel without a clear explanation, especially after staying there for such a long time, is frustrating and can feel like discrimination. If you believe you were denied service because of your disability, you have the right to take action.

Start by contacting the hotel directly to request a detailed explanation for why they refused to give you a room. Make sure to document any conversations you have with them, including dates, times, and who you spoke with. If they do not provide a satisfactory answer, consider filing a complaint with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or your local disability rights organization, as they can help protect your rights and advocate on your behalf.

If you’re facing immediate difficulties because of this situation, reach out to local social services or organizations that support people with disabilities for assistance. Remember, no one has the right to discriminate against you because of your disability, and there are resources and people out there who can help you stand up for your rights.
