NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A Nashville hotel is settling allegations that it violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) by discriminating against a guest with a service animal, according to the Department of Justice.
Knights Inn was accused of refusing to allow a family with a service animal to stay at the hotel because it was against their policy.
“Service animals are vital to the health and welfare of people in our community who need them,” said Acting United States Attorney Robert E. McGuire. “This settlement shows that we will vigorously enforce the law to make sure that Tennesseans have equal access to facilities and not be barred because of challenges they may face.”
