Staff allegedly informed Barrett that Andrews was staying there, allowing him to book adjacent rooms.
In an updated lawsuit, seen by The Smoking Gun, she is now demanding $75million for the change.
Barrett admitted in December 2009 to renting hotel rooms next to Andrews in three cities, altering hotel peepholes and shooting videos on his mobile phone in two locations - Columbus, Ohio, in February 2008 and Nashville, Tennessee, seven months later.
Prosecutors accused him of contacting 14 hotels asking for Andrews' reservation information.
The divorced father then tried to sell the footage to celebrity website TMZ, who declined.
Barrett posted the footage online himself where it quickly went viral.
In 2010 he was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail after pleading guilty to a number of stalking charges.

In a 2010 statement, Miss Andrews said: ‘I've filed this lawsuit to hold accountable those who put my personal safety at risk and who allowed my privacy to be invaded while I was a guest at their hotel, as well as for actually stalking me and making my most personal moments public.'
She added that she hoped her experience would make hotels be more ’vigilant’ when it comes to protecting their guests privacy.
‘Although I'll never be able to fully erase the impact that this invasion of privacy has had upon me and my family, I do hope that my experience will cause the hospitality industry to be more vigilant in protecting its guests from the time they reserve a hotel room until they check out.'
Also named in the suit are seven hotels affiliated with Marriott International and Radisson Hotels International as well the Ohio State University and Summit Hotels & Resorts.
Barratt has said he is ‘penniless.’
Andrews began her career with ESPN in 2004. She moved to FOX in 2010 and is a constant feature during the Super Bowl and World Series.
