Meriden hotel to resolve ADA violations

The owner of the Comfort Inn & Suites in Meriden has agreed to make its property more accessible to the handicapped, according to U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut Deirdre M. Daly.

The voluntary compliance agreement between Daly’s office and the East Main Street hotel will resolve allegations that the hotel was not compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and avoids litigation and potential fines, Daly’s office said.

The Comfort Inn will renovate its rooms, public areas and parking lot over the next 18 months.

The hotel is owned by Ekta Meshva Hospitality of Connecticut LLC, which bought it in December for $4.5 million, according to city records.
