Man with Ostomy Sues Ohio Hotel for Refusing a Room
A paralyzed man with an ostomy is suing an Ohio hotel he previously stayed at for denying him a room under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In December, Shawn Pouliot tried to book a room at the Akron City Centre Hotel and was told he was banned for life. On a previous visit in August 2009, Shawn’s ostomy bag leaked out while he was in bed and made a big mess. Shawn threw the dirty linens in a bag and gave the hotel over $500 to cover the costs of any damage.
Tuesday Shawn filed a law suit in Federal Court against the hotel for denying him a room.

Hi, I realize that sometimes we have, what I call are a six handed mess, and it can’t be helped. When it happens I go to great lengths not to make a mess If we could change the situation and not make a mess we sure would try not too. So give the patron a chance and the patron the next time will try to set things up so if he has a accident it won’t soil the mattress and any other items involved in the incident.
