New Haven’s Days Inn has reached a settlement the Department of Justice (DOJ) over alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

Under federal law, private entities that own or operate “places of public accommodation,” which includes hotels, are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of disability.

Days Inn New Haven is the last of six hotels to reach an agreement following a series of surveys and investigations into 12 hotels throughout the New Haven metro area.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act ensures that individuals are able to access and enjoy the state’s hotels and other public accommodations,” U.S. Attorney Deirdre M. Daly said in a statement.  “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 thank the ownership and management of all the hotels that were surveyed, and appreciate their willingness to work with the government to address and correct the ADA violations.”
