Wonderful News !! Classic Reservation System is coming back in the interim

I don't normally follow the Hilton board, so excuse me if this is a stupid question. What does it mean for a site to be ADA compliant? I've never heard of such a thing..... and I'm involved in website development.

Simply that disabled peep can reserve accessible units, just like everyone else.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

There was a federally mandated ADA requirements that took effect (see below). The old Classic reservation system didn't satisfy the new requirement.

For example, on Hilton.com they have a description of their accessible rooms and accessible rooms are also offered during the online reservation process.

Fact Sheet: Highlights of the Final Rule to Amend the Department of Justice's Regulation Implementing Title III of the ADA

8. Reservations Made by Places of Lodging. The rule establishes requirements for reservations made by places of lodging, including procedures that will allow individuals with disabilities to make reservations for accessible guest rooms during the same hours and in the same manner as other guests, and requirements that will require places of lodging to identify and describe accessible features of a guest room, to hold back the accessible guest rooms for people with disabilities until all other guest rooms of that type have been rented, and to ensure that a reserved accessible guest room is removed from all reservations systems so that it is not inadvertently released to someone other than the person who reserved the accessible room. The final rule limits the obligations of third-party reservation operators that do not themselves own and operate places of lodging. In addition, to allow the hospitality industry appropriate time to change reservation systems, the final rule gives places of lodging 18 months from the publication date, September 15, 2010, to come into compliance with these requirements/

Just kidding...I see classic now!

I just took a look at Classic for the first time, I've only ever used Revolution. I'm not seeing the big draw. What does everyone love about it?

The only thing I have ever seen odd in Revolution is that SeaWorld is listed twice.
