Respiratory Discrimination -

Extended Stay America for not adhering to the reasonable accommodation clause of American with Disabilities Act

By adamantly refusing to provide any accommodations for persons suffering for respiratory disabilities by refusing to disclose; or publicly displaying the Room Allergen Levels.

I Leonard F. Reid make the charge that Extended Stay America, Inc. has severely jeopardized my health and violated my civil rights by not willing to accommodate my respiratory disability and high blood pressure malady.

For not posting any health or testing information about the cleanliness of their "smoke - free" "Pet Friendly" rooms.

For not disclosing the fact that the "smoke-free" "Pet Friendly room carpets are not tested, and may harbor an ounce or more of dangerous allergens and/or environmental triggers.
By refusing to display this critical information; Extended Stay America, Inc. is guilty of violating the rights of the general public. Robbing them of the ability to make informed health decisions.
I was embarrassingly and unceremoniously issued a Cease and Desist from the merchant; only because I submitted a report to upper management.

Informing them that I used a standard, non-industrial, over the counter vacuum to achieve these results. And offered only free solutions and suggestions to better assist the merchant in a humanitarian effort to better serve the disabled.

I feel a genuine righteous indignation against the merchant; because they seemed to show complete lack of concern for one third of its customer base, suffering from respiratory disabilities.
Stating in cease in desist letter that I do not have the right to inspect the dirt levels in my rented room upon check-in; without out hotel permission.
For using their name as a misleading, unethical and dangerous promotional tool, by touting their organization as a safe haven for the public to stay for an extended period of time.
offering un-regulated rooms that contain an inordinate amount of dirt embedded in the carpet upon check-in. Purposely or otherwise; extending the opportunity for sickness to spread or a sudden attack to happen to an unsuspecting client.
Every merchant offering health related consumer products or services in our society; is required to display health or warning labels, or undergo some sort of quality inspection process - except hotel rooms.

Unsanitary room conditions -

45 grams of undisclosed allergens embedded in carpet upon check - in.

1 Meadowlands Pkwy. Secaucus, NJ 07094

28 grams = ounce

March 17 2018 - check in

25 grams = 0.88 ounces of extracted allergens

Report submitted to upper management

One Plaza Dr., Secaucus, NJ 07094

Service disabled Room is not fully carpeted and rarely used.

June 29 2018 - check in

20 grams = 0.71 ounces of extracted allergens *

Disabled Wheelchair accessible room

(physical evidence available)

Currently there have been zero accommodations being made for the over than 90 million Americans suffering from a respiratory disability.

I petition the Court to make a Federal mandate that all hotels in the United States comply with the American with Disabilities Act mandate within a year. To have at least 3 rooms where cleaning information and / or Room allergen levels are publicly displayed. Or offer rooms without carpet.

The most prevalent disability in our society is respiratory health.

I firmly believe it is the merchant's responsibility to set and adhere to a Respiratory centric quality inspection health standard.

Performed internally or otherwise.

I would like an opportunity to physical show a jury what an ounce of allergens (displayed in plastic bag and certified scale) that were extracted from merchant's establishment - actually looks like.
