Meriden Hotel Agrees to Comply With Disabilities Act

The Comfort Inn & Suites of Meriden made a voluntary compliance agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to become compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Improvements to the hotel will be made over the next 18 months, according to the U.S. Attorney District of Connecticut Office.

Owners and management of the hotel worked exclusively with the office without litigation.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act ensures that individuals are able to access and enjoy the state’s hotels and other public accommodations,” stated U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly. “Our Office is committed to enforcing the ADA, which requires businesses to appropriately serve the diverse population of patrons who live, work, and visit Connecticut. We appreciate the willingness of Comfort Inn & Suites to make the necessary changes.”

Any member of the public who wishes to file a complaint alleging that a hotel or any other place of public accommodation in Connecticut is not accessible to persons with disabilities may contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office at 203-821-3700.
