Charging a no-show fee is permitted; the boundary cases are (1) failure to disclose the fee at booking time clearly, (2) charging more than the posted fee, and (3) charging after a same-day cancellation that is allowed under the posted policy. Each becomes a consumer-protection complaint when the booking confirmation does not match the charge.
State consumer-protection bureaus pursue patterns of small undisclosed charges aggressively because each affected guest is a potential complainant.
Inspectors typically scan refrigeration and hot-hold logs for entries before service shifts as the first compliance signal. A log with all entries at exactly the same time each day reads as fabricated; a log with realistic time variance and occasional out-of-range entries with documented corrective action reads as authentic.
A fabricated-looking log is harder to defend than an honest one with corrective actions. Inspectors who spot the pattern escalate other findings.
Under ADA, staff may ask only (1) "Is the animal required because of a disability?" and (2) "What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?" Anything beyond — proof of disability, proof of training, demonstration of the task — is a violation. The animal can be excluded only for actual disruption, not breed or perceived risk.
ADA complaints in hospitality settings are among the easiest to substantiate because staff scripts often deviate from the two-question rule. Settlements include training requirements that exceed the cost of training upfront.
