Liquor Control Complaint Against Madison Beach Hotel Resolved

A complaint against the Madison Beach Hotel made by the Madison Police Department to the state's liquor control commission has been resolved, according to a spokeswoman for the department. 

Claudette Carveth, director of communications for the Department of Consumer Protection, which oversees the state liquor control division said the department worked with local officials and hotel management to get the hotel into compliance, and that the complaint was settled. 

"The complaint on Madison Beach Hotel (2012-1418) was a police referral by the local police reporting citizen reports of loud noise and the service of alcoholic liquor to persons on the grounds of the hotel," Carveth said via email. "Subsequent to the complaint, the department worked with local officials (zoning and fire marshal) and hotel management to get the hotel into compliance.  To settle the complaint, and after getting into zoning and fire marshal approval, the department accepted an offer-in-compromise of $250.00 for the August 31, 2012 incident which prompted the police referral.  The administrative charge was “definition of hotel”, which alleged that service of alcoholic liquor took place off the approved area of the hotel grounds." 

The complaint was made following a concert on hotel and town property on August 30, 2012.
