This just takes these types of rooms out of the inventory for those who really need them.
These types of rooms should not appear on search results at all (either with cash or with points) unless a disabled accessible room is specifically put in the search criteria.
There is the button for 'Show Accessible Rooms' on the page, for me sometimes they show up, and sometimes they don't.
The Hilton Santa Fe that I posted about, the same type of room (Same exact $$ amount if you pay) is 106K points per night vs 50K for the accessible room.... Then add in that on a 5 night award, the 5th night is free, that turns from 200K points to 530K. This has to be a strategy to limit the # of points rooms at properties, but as mentioned up-thread it is taking these rooms out of inventory potentially for people that really do need them.
