Minimum Number [9.1.2 and 9.1.3]
The number of accessible rooms required is based on the total number of rooms provided. Dispersion of accessible rooms among different classes (based on size, cost, amenities, etc.) is necessary. Rooms with combination roll-in/transfer showers are required in transient lodging facilities with more than 50 rooms. The number of rooms with this type of shower must be added to the basic number of accessible rooms permitted to have an accessible tub or shower. Accommodations for people with hearing impairments are required in a portion of guest rooms, including all those that provide access for people with mobility impairments.
For example, a transient lodging facility with 100 guest rooms must have at least 5 accessible rooms, 1 of which provides a combination roll-in/ transfer shower. These rooms must also provide visual appliances for people with hearing impairments. In addition, at least 4 rooms must be equipped with visual appliances for people with hearing impairments; these rooms are not required to be wheelchair accessible.
