Concluded DOL Wage and Hour Division cases in which DOL found a violation. An investigation that found none won't show here, and neither will an open investigation, a private lawsuit, a state labor agency case, or an arbitration settlement. Covers the statute categories this site tracks (H-1B, general wage/hour, child labor, sub-minimum wage, H-2A, H-2B, Davis-Bacon, and migrant/seasonal farmworker protections), not every WHD program, and only cases matched under this employer's name and its other spellings on file with WHD. No result here means no such case on file — it isn't the same as a clean record.
Cases filed under the name Comfort Inn and the spellings of it we count together: Comfort Inn, Comfort Inn & Suites, Comfort Inn and Suites. They name 291 different operating companies, since the locations under one name are often run by separate owners.
313 minimum wage / overtime (flsa), 4 child labor (flsa), 1 h-2b seasonal visa

A listed finding is DOL's own concluded determination following an investigation, not an accusation or a lawsuit outcome, and appearing here isn't a claim of ongoing or systemic misconduct — each case reflects one specific investigated period. Matching is by name: a real violation under a spelling that is neither this employer's name nor one of the other spellings we count won't be found, so a low count here means few matches under these names, not a confirmed clean record. Source: DOL Wage and Hour Division Enforcement Database, the compliance actions concluded since FY2005 that found a violation. Informational only, not legal advice.
A different signal from the enforcement record above: 86 federal wage-and-hour lawsuits that mention Comfort Inn (Fair Labor Standards Act claims only), from public PACER court records via CourtListener. The defendant can be the company that runs a location, such as a franchise owner. Filing a lawsuit only means someone made a claim, not a finding or a proven case, and a bigger number here mostly reflects a bigger company, not worse conduct.
