Agreed - that's the key here, and really what
GimpysRevenge is talking about
: we all know that people use the accessible facilities when they don't need them. In the hotel case, it's sometimes because the hotel leaves us no other choice because of either how they price the rooms or how they assign them. The question is
are you willing to give it up for someone who really needs it? If your own personal answer is "yes, I would switch to a regular room if someone needed the accessible room", then I don't see any ethical problem with booking the "last room at the inn" when it is the accessible room type.
