I don't think *wood will throw a fine at you for booking an ADA room and saving a few bucks.
We can agree to disagree on this one.
I look at it on ethical grounds, not legal. I assume accessible rooms are for people who are disabled and need the extra room, handles, modified components, etc, because functioning in a standard room is difficult or impossible. By taking the only, or one of the few, such rooms, I may be putting someone in a very tough situation, which I find selfish to save a few dollars when standard rooms are availble.
Being legal doesn't mean it's right, IMHO.
