(A) In the event a hotel or motel operator posts, advertises or otherwise displays room rates that are visible from the street from which the hotel or motel fronts, such rates shall have lettering at least four inches high and not more than six inches high. No more than two signs may be used by each hotel or motel to post, advertise or display rates.
(B) A hotel or motel operator shall not post, advertise or display a rate on a sign which is visible from the street unless the sign upon which the rate is posted, advertised or displayed contains both a minimum and maximum room rental rate. Any posted, advertised or displayed maximum rate shall not exceed the posted, advertised or displayed minimum rate by more than 25%. Unless otherwise posted, advertised or displayed, all rates posted, advertised or displayed shall be for a single room with double occupancy. All rates and the descriptive data relating to the room rate, posted, advertised or displayed shall be of the same size and prominence.
(C) The motel or hotel operator shall make available for rent at least 50% of the motel’s or hotel’s rooms at the posted, advertised or displayed minimum rate or less of a double occupancy every day of hotel or motel operation.
(D) All hotel and motel operators that post, advertise or display on a sign visible from the street minimum and maximum room rates for double occupancy shall post or display the same rates in each hotel or motel in full view of the registration desk and in each hotel or motel room on the door. The posting or display of minimum and maximum room rates in full view of the registration desk shall be of lettering at least two inches high, and shall be located sufficiently close to the registration desk to allow a person with normal vision to read the posting or display of the minimum and maximum rate from the registration desk.
