I was incensed that the traditional Fannish Inquisition panel was in a room that was not only way too small, with a noisy and badly working air conditioner, it was up three steps. Considering the moderator used a scooter, and that one poor (one-legged) woman had to bump her way backwards up said steps to attend, I can't even imagine why they used that room at all--or if they had to, they should have at least used it for a generally more mobile population, like for the teen lounge.
On the plus side, all future Worldcons and bids are in ADA-compliant facilities. Although it's possible that Helsinki (a 2015 bid) may not have some ADA-compliant hotels--once they pin down the hotels. And if a New Orleans in 2018 bid materializes, there may be some outlier hotels which are also non-compliant.
