The Biltmore is part of the Hilton Worldwide, Inc. now owned by the Blackstone Group, L.P.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a press release on November 10, 2010, regarding a consent decree agreement with Hilton Worldwide, Inc. over ADA violations at Hilton hotels, and major hotel chains owned by Hilton.  I have first hand knowledge that for the last 20 years Hilton’s policy was to give “lip-service” to ADA building compliance.

The ACCESS “Watchdogs in Wheelchairs” program empowers the disabled with the Civil Rights Law that provides them with free access to our Federal Court system.  That is free filing fees, free attorney fees and free attorney costs.  The professional accessibility architectural work product of ACCESS consisting of detail ADA building compliance audits and detail ADA building plan checks are attorney costs, all free to the disabled. 

I've said it before, by working together we are going to change the mind set of building owners and get buildings ADA compliant through the Federal Court system.  Together we can make a difference.  Together we can bring buildings into ADA compliance one building at a time.

Contact me at hfalstad@accessts.net or call me at (702) 649-7575 to discuss in further detail.  Also, come visit our FaceBook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Access-Technologies-Services-Inc/268659564730 and "Like" us, we appreciate the support.
