The Comfort Inn & Suites Conference Center hotel is conveniently located at the “Crossroads of Connecticut,” offering easy access to Interstate 91 and Interstate 691. This Meriden, CT hotel is minutes from Hartford, New Haven, Bristol, and Waterbury. Guests of this upscale, moderately priced Meriden, CT hotel will enjoy state-of-the-art amenities and features like 39 and 42-inch flat-panel LED televisions.

Air Travel: We recommend Bradley International Airport (BDL) as your destination, 34 miles from the Comfort Inn & Suites Conference Center hotel. A shared ride is the most cost-effective way to reach your final destination. [Google Map directions from airport to hotel]

Train Travel: Meriden is served by CT Rail and Amtrak by the NYC and New Haven routes and by the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT routes.  The train station is much closer than Bradley Field, only about two miles from where the expo will be held.

Grabbing a Bite: As a bonus, you will enjoy the local attractions nearby, which include other dining establishments in close walking distance from the hotel. Dunkin Donuts and Wayback are directly across the street, and Wendy’s, Burger King, McDonald’s, Boston Market, and Taco Bell are all close to the hotel, with access to sidewalks. KFC and Subway are further up the street. So there is lots of variety to choose from. Our lunch recommendation is Nardelli’s Grinder Shoppe; an excellent deli adjacent to the hotel.
