MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
YOUNG, District Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION
William Norkunas (“Norkunas”), a disabled individual as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213, brought this suit after he visited the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (the “Royal Sonesta”) against HPT Cambridge, LLC and Cambridge TRS, Inc., respectively the owner and lessee of the Royal Sonesta. Norkunas alleges that he encountered several architectural barriers during his visit, which denied him access to full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations in violation of the ADA.
In adjudicating this case, this Court denied both a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment by the defendants. See Elec. Clerk’s Notes, Apr. 10, 2012; Elec. Clerk’s Notes, Oct. 24, 2012, ECF No. 63. Both oral arguments focused on whether Norkunas had standing to pursue the suit.
A three-day bench trial was held on November 19, 2012, November 21, 2012, and December 20, 2012. See Elec. Clerk’s Notes, Nov. 19, 2012, ECF No. 77; Elec. Clerk’s Notes, Nov. 21, 2012, ECF No. 78; Elec. Clerk’s Notes, Dec. 20, 2012, ECF No. 111. The defendants again argued that Norkunas did not have standing to pursue this suit. See Mem. Law Supp. Defs.’ Mot. J. Partial Findings Fed. R.Civ.P. 52(c)9-19, ECF No. 114.
This Court made certain findings and rulings from the bench. See Findings & Rulings Tr., Dec. 20, 2012, ECF No. 117. These included that Norkunas had standing to pursue this suit, id. at 6:13-14, that the Royal Sonesta was indeed in violation of the ADA, see, e.g., id. at 7:16, 7:24-25, 8:2-3, and that an injunction requiring compliance by December 20, 2013, ■should-issue, id. at 12:8-13. After studying-and deciding an outstanding issue regarding the required number and type of available suites, see J. Scope Inj., ECF No. 110, the Court issued its final injunction on February 14, 2013, see Order Entering Inj., ECF No. 121.
Having made its findings and rulings and having issued the injunction, the Court wishes to address two issues in this opinion. First, the Court wishes to communicate more fully its reasoning on the most contentious procedural issue in this case: Norkunas’s standing to bring this suit. Second, this memorandum announces the Court’s award of attorneys’ fees, costs, and experts’ fees as permitted under the ADA. See 42 U.S.C. § 12205.
[190]*190II. STANDING
A. Facts
William Norkunas suffers from post-polio syndrome and frequently requires the use of a wheelchair or motorized scooter. See Trial Tr. vol. 1, 15:8-11, Nov. 19, 2012, ECF No. 104; Order (“Norkunas’s Trial Mem.”) ¶ 1, ECF No. 75. While he was born and grew up in Massachusetts, he now resides in Florida. Trial Tr. vol. 1, 15:3, 54:4. Despite his change of residence, Norkunas still has relatives living in the greater Boston area, including his brother in Lowell, his brother-in-law in Brockton, and his sister-in-law and niece in Framingham, along with cousins, aunts, and an uncle in the greater Boston area. See id. at 76:5-8; Norkunas’s Trial Mem. ¶2(6). Moreover, Norkunas’s deceased wife is buried in a cemetery in Newton, Massachusetts. Defs.’ Trial Mem. 2 n. 3, ECF No. 74.
Norkunas is not a newcomer to the world of ADA enforcement suits. He is employed as an ADA expert and Fair Housing Accessibility Act specialist for Disability Assistance, Inc., a Florida corporation, of which Norkunas is the sole principal and employee. See Trial Tr. vol. 1, 76:24-77:1. In fact, he derives ninety-nine percent of his income from his employment as an ADA expert and has served as a paid ADA expert in more than one thousand lawsuits since 1992. Id. at 77:2-8.
More recently, Norkunas has moved from being an expert to being a plaintiff in ADA Title III actions. He has filed more than fifty such suits in the last four or five years. Id. at 77:10-18. During his travels, Norkunas often stays at multiple hotels in the same area, and he has filed Title III actions against more than half of the hotels he has visited during the year preceding his suit in this case. See id. at 79:5-80:14. He has filed at least twenty-three suits in the District of Massachusetts since February 2009, twenty of which have been against hotels. Defs.’ Trial Mem. 2; see also Trial Tr. vol. 1, 77:19-21. These hotels are located across Massachusetts, including in Bedford, Boston, Brockton, Cambridge, Concord, Danvers, Foxboro, Framingham, Haverhill, Marlborough, Milford, Natick, Peabody, Plymouth, Shrews-bury, Springfield, Waltham, and Woburn. Trial Tr. vol. 1, 78:21-79:4.
Norkunas readily admits that in selecting a hotel in which to stay, a “contributing reason” for him often would be whether the hotel is accessible to individuals with a disability. See id. at 55:21-56:6. He sees himself as a crusader for gaining equal access for disabled individuals. See id. at 117:11-14.
During the trip and hotel stay that has led to this suit, Norkunas stayed in four different Boston area hotels on four consecutive nights. See id. at 64:4-6. He has filed suit against three of the four hotels. Id. at 64:7-9. In each suit, he alleged an intent to return to the hotel in April 2012 and booked a reservation. After settling such suits, Norkunas cancelled each reservation. Norkunas has stated that these hotels have acknowledged the existence of ADA violations and barriers to access and that his reservation cancellation was due to the hotels needing additional time to correct the barriers. Moreover, he insists that he will indeed return to check on whether these hotels comply with the ADA and the settlements and hopes that he will be able to fully enjoy the hotels’ facilities, which, at present, fail to provide him with equal access. See id. at 51:22-52:4.
After filing this suit on December 9, 2011, Norkunas did return and stay at the Royal Sonesta on June 16-17, 2012, and again on August 21-22, 2012. See id. at 23:16-19. Norkunas says that he wanted to stay at the Royal Sonesta because it [191]*191was conveniently located near the airport and relatives and Mends that he intended to see during his visits. See id. at 59:5-11. Norkunas does hope to stay in the Royal Sonesta in the future once the barriers to access are corrected, as he plans to continue to return to the Boston area several times per year as he has been doing for the past several years. See id. at 53:7-15, 59:5-7.
B. Legal Standard and Análysis
In order to demonstrate standing generally, (1) a plaintiff must have suffered an injury-in-facb — “an invasion of a legally protected interest” that is both “concrete and particularized” and “actual or imminent,” Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992) (quoting Whitmore v. Arkansas, 495 U.S. 149, 155, 110 S.Ct. 1717, 109 L.Ed.2d 135 (1990)) (internal quotation mark omitted); (2) there must be causality — “a causal connection between the injury and the conduct” of which the plaintiff complains, id.; and (3) there must be redressability — “it must be likely, as opposed to merely speculative, that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision,” id. (quoting Simon v. E. Ky. Welfare Rights Org., 426 U.S. 26, 38, 46, 96 S.Ct. 1917, 48. L.Ed.2d 450 (1976)) (internal quotation marks omitted). “The party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing these elements.” Id. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130.
Title III provides a limited set of remedies for private suits, including injunctive relief, restraining orders, or other similar relief. 42 U.S.C. § 12188 (incorporating by reference the remedies and procedures set forth in 42 U.S.C. section 2000a-3(a)). “Past exposure to illegal conduct does not in itself show a present case or controversy regarding injunctive relief ... if unaccompanied by any continuing, present adverse effects.” O’Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 488, 495-96, 94 S.Ct. 669, 38 L.Ed.2d 674 (1974); see also American Postal Workers Union v. Frank, 968 F.2d 1373, 1376 (1st Cir.1992) (noting that the Supreme Court in City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 103 S.Ct. 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983), “reaffirmed the principle that past exposure to harm will not, in and of itself, confer standing upon a litigant to obtain equitable relief [a]bsent a sufficient likelihood that he will again be wronged in a similar way” (alteration in original) (quoting Lyons, 461 U.S. at 111, 103 S.Ct. 1660) (internal quotation marks omitted)). A plaintiff has standing to seek a prospective remedy, only, if he can show that he is “likely to suffer future injury.” Lyons, 461 U.S. at 105, 103 S.Ct. 1660.
“Indeed, every court to have considered the standing requirements under Title III of the ADA has held that in order for a private litigant to prove standing, she must show a risk of future harm.” Blake v. Southcoast Health Sys.,. Inc., 145 F.Supp.2d 126, 132-33 (D.Mass.2001). A risk of future harm exists where a plaintiff who has suffered an injury has a firm intention to return or where the plaintiff is being deterred from patronizing the business by the defendant’s misconduct. See Chapman v. Pier 1 Imports (U.S.) Inc., 631 F.3d 939, 944.(9th Cir.2011) (en banc) (holding that “an ADA plaintiff can establish standing to sue for injunctive relief either by demonstrating deterrence, or by demonstrating .injury-in-fact coupled with an intent to return to a noncompliant facility”).
Thus, in the case at bar, Norkunas could have argued that he is presently being deterred from patronizing the Royal Sonesta because it is not accessible to him. Cf. Fiedler v. Ocean Properties, Ltd., 683 F.Supp.2d 57, 68-73 (D.Me.2010) (Woodcock, C.J.) (denying summary judgment on [192]*192standing’ grounds where the plaintiff alleged an interest, in visiting The Harbor-side, a hotel in Bar Harbor, Maine, but had never visited Bar Harbor and had no reservations -at the hotel and noting that “in cases, such as this one, where a plaintiff has alleged an ongoing barrier to access, the injury is ongoing so long as ‘the barrier remains in place,’ ” id. at 73 (quoting Dudley v. Hannaford Bros. Co., 333 F.3d 299, 305 (1st Cir.2003))). Similarly, the First Circuit in Dudley v. Hannaford Bros. Co., 333 F.3d 299, suggested that where a disabled individual has suffered a harm and the harmful barrier remains in place, the individual does not have to attempt repeatedly to test it. See id. at 305. Instead, “the existence of a private right of action ... depends upon whether the barrier remains in place.”1 Id. The First Circuit also endorses a test “requir[ing] plaintiffs to show a real and immediate threat that a particular (illegal) barrier will cause- future harm.” Id. at 305-06.
To determine whether a plaintiffs likelihood of returning and thus suffering future harm is sufficient, district courts typically consider these four factors: (1) the proximity of the plaintiffs residence to the place of public accommodation, (2) plaintiffs past patronage of the establishment, (3) the definiteness of the plan to return, and (4) the plaintiffs frequency of travel near the business. See, e.g., Harris v. Stonecrest Care Auto Ctr., LLC, 472 F.Supp.2d 1208, 1216 (S.D.Cal.2007) (Burns, J.); Molski v. Arby’s Huntington Beach, 359 F.Supp.2d 938, 947 n. 10 (C.D.Cal.2005) (Carney, J.). This analysis is based on facts as they existed at the time of the filing of the complaint. See Steir v. Girl Scouts of the USA, 383 F.3d 7, 15 (1st Cir.2004) (“Standing in the jurisdictional sense is based on the facts as they existed at the time the complaint was filed.”).
Given that the public accommodation in this case is a hotel which is almost always used only when one is far away from his residence, the first factor should be judged carefully. While some courts have said that proximity does not apply in the hotel context, see Bodley v. Plaza Mgmt. Corp., 550 F.Supp.2d 1085, 1088 n. 4 (D.Ariz.2008) (Silver, J.), others have argued that it is actually proximity to what one wants to visit that matters when hotels are at issue, cf. Fiedler, 683 F.Supp.2d at 72 n. 17 (“Seeking a room in a hotel across the street from the plaintiffs mother’s residence seems different than seeking one at the other end of the country, and this fact could be relevant to the underlying question, which is whether the past discrimination is ‘[jlikely to recur.’” (alteration in original) (quoting Dudley, 333 F.3d at 304)). Distilling the factors used by other courts, this Court holds that the relevant question ought be: is this disabled individual likely to need to stay in a hotel in the area where this hotel is located in the future? After all, the barrier to access not only harms a disabled individual when he is staying there, but also harms him by deterring his stay and, thus, denying him a choice. This limitation in the range of choices is also a cognizable injury under the ADA because the ADA is intended to provide disabled individuals with the same access to fully enjoy the benefits of all places of public accommodation.2
[193]*193In this case, Norkunas is a resident of Florida, but he has many reasons to travel to the Boston area. He was born in Lowell. Trial Tr. vol. 1, 15:24. He has family across Massachusetts. See id. at 76:5-8. His wife is buried in a cemetery in Newton. Defs.’ Trial Mem. 2 n. 3. He has visited for business purposes such as providing expert advice and consulting services. Norkunas’s Trial Mem. ¶ 2(F).
Within the past five years, Norkunas has visited the Boston area dozens of times for work, to visit family, to visit his wife’s grave, and to look at real estate he is interested in purchasing. See id. ¶ 2(A)(C), (F); Trial Tr. vol. 1, 73:3-13. Nothing suggests that his travel to the area will decrease. In fact, given the lawsuits he has filed in the District of Massachusetts, it is likely that he will have to visit Boston often just to continue this stream of litigation.
At the time of the filing of the suit, Norkunas had only stayed at the Royal Sonesta for one night. Moreover, Norkunas had a reservation to return to the Royal Sonesta at the time he filed suit. See Trial Tr. vol. 1, 66:14-17. He proceeded to return and use the reservation on June 16, 2012. See id. at 23:16-19. He also returned to the Royal Sonesta at least one more time before trial. See id. Currently, while he has no definite plans to return to the Royal Sonesta, he claims that he will return to Royal Sonesta once it has corrected the accessibility issues. See id. at 51:24-25. It does appear that he will continue to return to the Boston area to visit family and attend family events such as the weddings of his nieces. See, e.g., id. at 19-23,111:13-16.
Whichever test this Court uses, Norkunas passes the bar easily. Norkunas had stayed at the Royal Sonesta before filing suit. He has shown that at the time of that stay, the hotel had barriers to access which prevented his full enjoyment of the property, a right to which he, as a disabled individual, was entitled to under Title III of the ADA. See Findings & Rulings Tr. 7-11. Moreover, at the time he filed suit, the relevant time, he had a concrete plan to return, including a reservation. See Trial Tr. vol. 1, 66:14-23. Norkunas testified to his plans to return to the Boston area several times per year in the future as he has done in the recent past. See id. at 53:1-14. Moreover, Norkunas did return to stay at the hotel at least twice more while this litigation was pending.3 Id. at 23:17-19. Finally, Norkunas claims that he will return to the Royal Sonesta once the barriers to access are corrected. Id. at 51:24-25.
The defendants argued that Norkunas’s stated intent to return was merely a ruse for the purposes of litigation and that this [194]*194Court ought not credit it. They point to Norkunas’s admission that ensuring compliance with the ADA is a motivation for his intention to return.
This Court rejects that argument. A plaintiff may be motivated by a desire to return to ensure compliance with the ADA; nonetheless, such a desire does not eviscerate the plaintiff’s, intention to return, but may very well support it. Cf. Access 4 All, Inc. v. Absecon Hospitality Corp., No. 04-6060(JEI), 2006 WL 3109966, at *7 (D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2006) (Irenas, J.) (ruling that the pursuit of litigation made the claim of return more, not less, likely); Molski v. Price, 224 F.R.D. 479, 484 (C.D.Cal.2004) (Cooper, J.) (finding standing where a plaintiffs intention to return was based in part on checking for compliance with the ADA). But this Court is not limited to this reasoning and does not rely on it. Instead, this Court rules that Norkunas has standing because he has a desire to return to this area where many members of his family reside, where his wife is buried, and where he was born, whether or not he was also motivated to check on the ADA compliance of businesses in the area.
This Court also rejects the defendants’ repeated assertions that Norkunas is merely a “tester.” This argument points out that Norkunas has many similar cases pending in this and other courts. While this Court does not have to reach the issue whether the ADA would allow testers, were it forced to reach such an issue in the future, it would not reject it out-of-hand. The reasoning of a former colleague regarding multiple suits by a supposed ADA “tester” seems more than sound:
[Defendant] also points to the number of cases filed by the same plaintiff in this jurisdiction. Counsel have filed nine cases in this jurisdiction on behalf of [the plaintiff]. I am not impressed by this argument. If the ADA were enforced directly by the government, as are, for example, the fair housing laws, it is likely that government lawyers would have reached out to disabled individuals — “testers” as they are called — to find out which businesses were complying and which were not. [The named plaintiff] has functioned here as a “tester,” which is entirely appropriate.
Iverson v. Braintree Prop. Assocs., L.P., No. 04cv12079-NG, 2008 WL 552652, at *3 n. 5 (D.Mass. Feb. 26, 2008) (Gertner, J.).
Given the overwhelming evidence that Norkunas does plan to visit the area in the future (and require hotel accommodation), the Royal Sonesta’s 'noncompliance with the ADA at the time of Norkunas’s first visit, and this Court’s conclusion that he should have the choice of staying at the Royal Sonesta when he returns, this Court holds that Norkunas does have standing to pursue injunctive relief because he has been harmed, is being harmed, and will continue, otherwise, to be harmed by the Royal Sonesta’s noncompliance with the ADA.
III. FEE AWARD
A. Entitlement to Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
Under the ADA, a court, “in its discretion, may allow the prevailing party ... a reasonable attorney’s fee, including litigation expenses, and costs.” 42 U.S.C. § 12205. As Norkunas’s actions led to a ruling that the Royal Sonesta was in violation of the ADA and the imposition of an injunction, Norkunas is a prevailing party who may be awarded attorneys’ fees and costs. See Buckhannon Bd. & Care Home, Inc. v. W. Va. Dep’t of Health & Human Res., 532 U.S. 598, 603-04, 121 S.Ct. 1835, 149 L.Ed.2d 855 (2001).
[195]*195B. Calculating Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees
To determine reasonable attorneys’ fees, district courts begin by calculating the lodestar, the number of hours reasonably worked multiplied by fair hourly rates. See Hutchinson ex rel. Julien v. Patrick, 636 F.3d 1, 13 (1st Cir.2011). The lodestar figure can then be adjusted based on the individual factors of the particular case. See McDonough v. City of Quincy, 353 F.Supp.2d 179, 183 (D.Mass.2005).
The burden of producing documentation to support the fee request is on the moving party. See Hutchinson, 636 F.3d at 13. Reasonable hours are determined by reviewing this documentation and “subtracting] duplicative, unproductive, or excessive hours.” Gay Officers Action League v. Puerto Rico, 247 F.3d 288, 295 (1st Cir.2001). Reasonable rates are determined by looking at the prevailing community rates while accounting for the experience and skill of the attorney, see id., and the expertise required to perform the task, see Grendel's Den, Inc. v. Larkin, 749 F.2d 945, 951 (1st Cir.1984).
1. Time Spent
To determine the hours reasonably expended by Norkunas’s attorneys, this Court examined the billing records submitted with the motion for attorneys’ fees. This Court excluded or reduced those hours that were inadequately documented, “excessive, redundant, or otherwise unnecessary.” Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 434, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983).
The attorneys in this case were Lawrence A. Fuller (“Fuller”) of Fuller, Fuller & Associates, P.A., and George W. Skogstrom, Jr. (“Skogstrom”) and Jenifer M. Pinkham (“Pinkham”) of Schlossberg, LLC. Pl.’s Verified Appl. Att’ys’ Fees, Costs & Experts’ Fees, & Accompanying Mem. Law (“Norkunas’s Fee Req.”) 7-8, ECF No. 122. Fuller claimed fees for 564.10 hours4 expended as well as 10.80 hours expended by a paralegal at his law firm. See Norkunas’s Fee Req. 9; Pl.’s Reply Defs.’ Resp. Pis.’ Verified Appl. Att’ys’ Fees, Costs & Experts’ Fees, Ex. 1, Invoice Fuller, Fuller & Assocs. & Schlossberg LLC (“Invoice”), ECF. No. 124-1. Skogstrom claimed 68.50 hours5 expended, while Pinkham claimed 81.30 hours. See Invoice 17-47.
The defendants challenged these hours for various reasons, including that the hours were expended on frivolous and unnecessary motions, working with unnecessary experts, unproductive tasks, and travel for Fuller from Florida. See Defs.’ Resp. Pl.’s Verified Appl. Att’ys’ Fees, Costs & Experts’ Fees (“Defs.’ Fee Resp”) 6-12, ECF No. 123. They also argued that the insufficiency of the billing records ought lead this Court to further reduce the compensable time. See id. at 12-13.
This Court rules that the motion for sanctions filed during the trial was unnec[196]*196essary and reduces Fuller’s time by 7.9 hours as a result.6 The Court also reduces the travel time by fifty percent. See Hutchinson, 636 F.3d at 15 (stating that travel time is “calculated at an hourly rate lower than that which applies to the attorney’s substantive labors”). As there are 89.8 travel hours, the Court reduces Fuller’s time by fifty percent for travel, or 44.9 hours. This Court, therefore, finds that Fuller reasonably expended 511.3 hours.
The Court, however, explicitly rejects the contention that Fuller’s pretrial travel time should be excluded entirely, see Defs.’ Fee Resp. at 11-12. The Royal Sonesta is a hotel. Thus, the majority of its customers are likely to be from out of town. Therefore, if they fail to comply with the ADA, then they are likely hurting an out-of-town, disabled potential plaintiff. Should this aggrieved customer decide to file suit, he has a choice of hiring counsel in Boston (“local counsel”) or counsel near the area where he lives (“neighboring counsel”). This choice is likely informed by his familiarity with the lawyer, where most individuals will be more familiar with neighboring attorneys rather than attorneys local to places they visit, and desire to assert control over the attorney and litigation.
A client should control both his lawyer and the litigation. See, e.g., Flanders & Medeiros, Inc. v. Bogosian, 65 F.3d 198, 202 (1st Cir.1995) (discussing a client’s “fundamental right to control her own litigation”). No doubt, it is easier to assert control over an attorney through face-to-face meetings. Thus, because it is easier to meet with neighboring counsel regularly, neighboring counsel is easier to control.
Certainly, Norkunas could fly from Florida to Boston to meet local counsel, but he should not be required to do so. This significant commitment of time is not likely to be made. Moreover, the travel itself, though made easier by the enactment of the ADA, is likely still difficult for a disabled individual and should not be expected. Thus, requiring plaintiffs to hire local counsel is not only an unfair burden to place on a plaintiff, but also would likely result in less control for the client over the litigation.
This Court holds that all 10.8 hours expended by the paralegal at Fuller’s law office are compensable.
Skogstrom also spent 0.5 hours on the unnecessary motion for sanctions. See Invoice 35. Skogstrom included some hours at “no charge” as a “write-down.” The Court takes account of these 4.25 hours here. Moreover, he included travel time in block billing that accounts for 7.75 hours. Travel time is typically compensated to account for only half of the time actually spent traveling. See, e.g., Diaz v. Jiten Hotel Mgmt., Inc., 930 F.Supp.2d 319, 321-22 (D.Mass.2013); cf. Maceira v. Pagan, 698 F.2d 38, 40 (1st Cir.1983) (finding that half of the reasonable regular rate is reasonable travel compensation). Because Skogstrom’s block billing has given this Court no way to differentiate between the travel time and productive time in these blocks, the Court reduces the hours expended in their entirety by half, or 3.88 hours.
Finally, both Skogstrom and Pink-ham have employed block billing. Block billing is generally disfavored by courts and sanctioned by reducing the fee. See, e.g., EEOC v. AutoZone, Inc., 934 F.Supp.2d 342, 354-55 (D.Mass.2013). The First Circuit has found that a global reduction to sanction block billing is not [197]*197inappropriate. Torres-Rivera v. O’Neill-Cancel, 524 F.3d 331, 340 (1st Cir.2008). Given the use of block billing and failure to allocate time to specific tasks, the Court deems that a twenty-percent global reduction to the lodestar hours is reasonable. This reduction is applied after the specific deductions. This reduction accounts for 11.98 hours for Skogstrom. This Court, therefore, finds that Skogstrom reasonably expended 47.90 hours.
Pinkham included 1.00 hours at “no charge” as a “write-down.” She also included travel time in block billing that accounts for 37.50 hours. Because her block billing has given this Court no way to differentiate between the travel time and productive time in these blocks, the Court reduces the hours expended in their entirety by half, or 18.75 hours. Finally, the Court takes the twenty percent universal deduction from her hours for general block billing. This reduction accounts for 12.31 hours. This Court, therefore, finds that Pinkham reasonably expended 49.24 hours.
2. Reasonable Hourly Rates
Courts ought consider “the prevailing market rates in the relevant community” when called upon to determine a reasonable hourly rate for attorneys’ fees. Andrade v. Jamestown Hous. Auth., 82 F.3d 1179, 1190 (1st Cir.1996) (quoting Blum v. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886, 895, 104 S.Ct. 1541, 79 L.Ed.2d 891 (1984)) (internal quotation marks omitted). Prevailing market rates are “those [rates] prevailing in the community for similar services by lawyers of reasonably comparable skill, experience and reputation.” Blum, 465 U.S. at 895 n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1541. Moreover, courts may take account of many factors in determining reasonable hourly rates, including “the type of work performed, who performed it, the expertise that it required, and when it was undertaken.” Grendel’s Den, 749 F.2d at 951. The party requesting the rate has the burden of demonstrating its reasonableness. Blum, 465 U.S. at 895 n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1541.
Norkunas requests hourly rates of $425 per hour for Fuller, $315 per hour for Skogstrom, and $265 per hour for Pink-ham, citing the 'experience of the attorneys, the difficulty of the case, and comparable rates in the community for such cases. Norkunas’s Fee Req. 4-9. The defendants argue for the hourly rate to be $350 per hour for Fuller, $250 per hour for Skogstrom, and $230 per hour for Pink-ham. Defs.’ Fee Resp. 2-6. The defendants cite many of Fuller’s own cases to argue that no court has ever set a reasonable hourly rate for his work above $350 per hour and that such a figure represents a reasonable rate given the nature of the legal questions involved. See id. at 2-5. The defendants criticize the requested hourly rate for Skogstrom by pointing out that he served only as local counsel and did little substantive work. See id. at 5. The defendants acknowledge that the work Pinkham, an associate, did “outstripped that of her partner,” id. at 5, but they argue that she should receive at most twenty-four percent more than the highest hourly rate awarded in this district to any other associate, id. at 5-6.
This Court finds that the reasonable hourly rate for Fuller is $350. The rate of $425 he requests was found to be reasonable in Hutchinson, 636 F.3d at 16, but the First Circuit in that case explicitly called that an “unusually complicated case.” Id. at 14. The case before this Court was straightforward. The defendants certainly fought hard, forcing the plaintiffs to prevail at trial, but this greater effort is compensated by way of more hours expended rather than through a higher rate per hour. The hourly rate [198]*198award Fuller received in a similar ADA case, Norkunas v. Brossi Bros. Ltd. Partnership, No. 10-11949-MBB, 2012 WL 772047, at *9 (D.Mass. Mar. 7, 2012) (Bowler, M.J.) (awarding $325 per hour to Fuller), is instructive and appropriate as a starting point. Individual factors in this case, such as having a trial and arguments over a complex standing issue, leads this Court to conclude that $350 per hour is a reasonable rate of compensation for Fuller.
Skogstrom did little substantive work on this case. His work was certainly no more complex than when he served as local counsel in Brossi Bros., where he was awarded a rate of $250 per hour. See 2012 WL 772047, at *9. Therefore, a rate of $250 per hour is reasonable for his work on this case.
Pinkham may be just an associate, but her work on the case, particularly what could be observed in the courtroom, was as good as any of the partners. While the defendants may recognize that her work “outstripped that of her partner,” Defs.’ Fee Resp. 5, they still argue that she should receive a lower rate of compensation than the partner. This Court disagrees. Pinkham’s work was more complex than her partner’s work. It was well executed. A rate of compensation of $265 per hour is certainly reasonable given her involvement in direct and cross examinations, arguments, and nearly all other aspects of trial.
This Court rules that the reasonable hourly rate for a paralegal is $100 per hour. See Rogers v. Cofield, 935 F.Supp.2d 351, 384-85 (D.Mass.2013) (Bowler, M.J.)._
Name Hours Rate Lodestar Total
Fuller 511.43 $350 $178,955.00
Skogstrom 47.90 $250 $ 11,975.00

Paralegal 10.80 $100 $ 1,080.00
3. Final Adjustments
Having established the lodestar base, this Court now makes two final adjustments. The lodestar may be adjusted for a variety of factors including:
(1) the time and labor required; (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions presented by the case; (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly; (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case; (5) the customary fee for similar work in the community; (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent; (7) time pressures imposed by the client or the circumstances; (8) the amount involved and results obtained as a result of the attorneys’ services; (9) the experience, reputation and ability of the attorneys; (10) the “undesirability” of the case; (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; [and] (12) awards in similar cases.
McMullen v. Schultz, 428 B.R. 4, 11 (D.Mass.2010) (Gorton, J.) (quoting In re Smuggler’s Beach, 149 B.R. 740, 743 (Bankr.D.Mass.1993) (Feeney, Bankr.J.)). A plaintiff who, like Norkunas, prevails on only some of multiple claims may have his attorneys’ fees reduced. See Coutin v. Young & Rubicam P.R., Inc., 124 F.3d 331, 339 (1st Cir.1997). Such a reduction, however, is only appropriate if both the successful and unsuccessful claims arose from the same set of facts or were underpinned by interrelated legal theories. See Bogan v. City of Boston, 489 F.3d 417, 428-29 (1st Cir.2007).
Norkunas argues that no fee reduction should be taken from the lodestar. See Norkunas’s Fee Req. 4. The defendants argue that the lodestar amount should be reduced by at least two-thirds due primarily to Norkunas’s limited success. See Defs.’ Fee Resp. 14-20.
[199]*199In this litigation, the plaintiff achieved significant success not only in getting voluntary changes at the Royal Sonesta,7 but also a twenty-point injunction from this Court, see Order Entering' Inj. Moreover, as in Brossi Bros., “the facts arose from a single and unified set of facts .... [As such,] [a]n adjustment on a claim by claim basis is therefore not appropriate.” 2012 WL 772047, at *10. On top of that, much of the time spent by the attorneys on this case was spent on the threshold issue of standing rather than on individual successful or unsuccessful claims. This Court, however, recognizes that some of the time spent in this- litigation was spent on unsuccessful claims and that such time did not contribute to success on other claims. As such, it deems a twenty percent reduction to the lodestar amounts appropriate.
Second, the Court noted in its Findings & Rulings that:
In Exhibit 10, I have been given a photograph which purports to show a hook too high to be used. I find as fact that below that hook there was another hook at the appropriate level. The Court views what at best is completely sloppy evidence handling and presentation and at worst is a fraud on the Court with grave suspicion----That photograph in Exhibit 10 never should be put before the Court. The Court will take care of that in the award of attorneys’ fees.
Findings & Rulings Tr. 10. It turns out that there, was only one hook on the door and that the second, lower hook is located on the stall wall. See Norkunas’s Fee Req. 15. Experts acting on behalf of Norkunas claim to have missed this lower hook during their first inspection of the stall. See id. at 16 (“Upon first inspection, [the experts] simply did not see any hook as it was not lower down on the bathroom stall door where they looked or photographed.”) These experts, were inspecting the stall. They missed a.hook on the wall of this limited area they inspected, suggesting a sloppy inspection at best. While Norkunas claims that neither expert “had any intent to deceive the Court or present sloppy evidence,” id., sloppy evidence was presented. This Court deducts $20,000 from the attorneys’ fees granted for the two trial counsel, Fuller and Pinkham, with the $20,000 deduction allocated proportionately. These final adjustments lead to the following final total:
Name Lodestar Total 80% of Lodestar Final Total
Fuller $178,955.00 $143,164.00 $124,523.20
Skogstrom $ 11,975.00 $ 9,580.00 $ 9,580.00
Pinkham $ 13,048.60 $ 10,438.88 $ 9,079.68
Paralegal $ 1,080.00 ' $ 864,00 $ 864,00
C. Costs
This Court may award reasonable and necessary costs to the prevailing party. See Culebras Enters. Corp. v. Rivera-Rios, 846 F.2d 94, 103 (1st Cir.1988). Norkunas requests costs in the amount of $14,626.86 for Fuller, Fuller & Associates and $178.00 for Schlossberg, LLC. Norkunas’s Fee Req. 17. This. Court excludes the following from costs as nonreimbursable overhead: in-house photocopies, Fed Ex costs, costs for long distance calls, costs for rpeals, parking costs, taxi costs, and other miscellaneous costs. See, e.g., [200]*200Rolland v. Cellucci, 106 F.Supp.2d 128, 145 (D.Mass.2000) (Neiman, M.J.). As this Court stated above in section III.B.1, the Court declines to reject the hiring of an attorney who resides and practices near Norkunas’s home. As such, the Court approves reimbursement of travel costs including airfare and hotel. The Court, however, rejects reimbursement of rental cars.8 The reimbursement is summarized below:

D. Experts’ Fees
Where expert witness fees are deemed reasonable litigation expenses, they may be reimbursed. See 42 U.S.C. § 12205; Lovell v. Chandler, 303 F.3d 1039, 1058 (9th Cir.2002). Norkunas requests fees for four experts: (1) $47,120.00 for Ken Wynn (“Wynn”); (2) $1,849.12 for Rogerio Orlando (“Orlando”); (3) $3,332.50 for Andrew Bedar (“Bedar”); and (4) $600.00 for Howard J. Schneider (“Schneider”). See Norkunas’s Fee Req. 20. The defendants do not contest that in the case at bar reimbursement for expert fees would be reasonable, but contest the reasonableness of the amounts themselves. See Defs.’ Fee Resp. 22-24.
Neither Bedar nor Schneider testified-during the trial. While this Court credits Norkunas’s assertion that Bedar was hospitalized during the trial, see Norkunas’s Fee Req. 20, this Court will not award expert witness fees for individuals who did not testify at trial and, thus, did not contribute to the result.9 This Court, [201]*201however, makes one exception. The Court explicitly asked for more information regarding conflicting federal and state regulations that govern bathtub controls. Bedar spent 1.75 hours in total researching the conflicting regulations and providing information about them to Fuller. The Court will reimburse this 1.75 hours at an hourly rate of $155.00. Norkunas’s Fee Req., Ex. 7, Expert Fees Sought (“Expert Fees”) 13, ECF No. 122-6. Thus, Norkunas should be awarded $271.25 for costs related to work performed by Bedar.
After Bedar was hospitalized, his associate, Orlando, attempted to testify as an expert in his place. Orlando was allowed to testify as a fact witness, but had not prepared an expert report and did not testify as an expert. As such, a payment of an expert witness fee for his work would be unreasonable, and this Court declines to reimburse Norkunas for any costs associated with Orlando.
Wynn was the primary expert used by Norkunas. Norkunas seeks reimbursement for 241.6 hours billed by Wynn. See id. at 4-9. This Court deems this billing excessive and grossly unreasonable. Some examples include spending 38.5 hours in total on preparing for a 1.5-hour deposition and about 2 hours of testimony at trial, billing for all (14.5) hours of trial attendance at a rate seventy-five percent higher than his standard rate of $200 while testifying for only 2 hours, billing 24.1 hours for drafting a straightforward Rule 34 inspection report, and spending 79.1 hours for phone calls and conferences regarding the property.10 See id. at 4-9.
This Court reduces the time of trial attendance by seventy-five percent while allowing Wynn to be reimbursed at a rate seventy-five percent higher than his standard rate for the remaining hours, resulting in a net reduction of 8.2 hours.
Moreover, while this Court recognizes the reasonableness of Norkunas hiring an attorney who practices in the area where Norkunas resides, the same considerations do not apply to expert witnesses. A Boston-based expert witness could have been hired. Thus, Wynn’s travel time from Florida is not reimbursable to its full extent, has been reduced by ninety percent to account for the unnecessary travel to Boston from Florida, and is paid at fifty percent of the standard rate, resulting in a reduction of 34.8 hours.
Finally, the Court reduces the rest of Wynn’s billed hours as it deems reasonable, including a reduction of ninety percent for the excessive phone call and conference billing, seventy-five percent for too much time spent on drafting reports, fifty percent for time entries where Wynn otherwise billed for more time than reasonably necessary, and at times zero percent (no reduction) where Wynn spent an appropriate amount of time. The Court also accounts for a higher rate of billing for time spent during a deposition. In total, this results in a reduction of 135.1 hours for these matters and a total reduction of 178.1 hours. The Court deems the resulting 63.5 hours as a reasonable amount of time for Wynn to have spent on this case. Billed at his reasonable hourly rate of $200, the Court awards Norkunas $12,700 as reimbursement for the expert witness cost of retaining Wynn.
[202]*202IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, this Court AWARDS Norkunas attorneys’ fees in the amount of $144,046.88, costs in the amount of $11,850.03, and expert witness fees in the amount of $12,971.25.
SO ORDERED.
