Top Downtown New Haven Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott New Haven Orange-Milford

4/10 Poor

"The room smelled musty and/or moldy—it was on the first floor. The smell was bad enough that it bothered us the whole time we were there. The hallway smelled bad too. The staff were having a terrible time using their new computer system. It took over 20min to check in, and that was at 12:45am when we were desperate to get into a room. I heard another guest say the elevator door broke and she couldn’t get her bag off of it. Also the pool was out of commission."

Motel 6 New Haven - Branford, CT

2/10 Terrible

"The only recommendation I can leave is don't stay there. At check in, the guy was behind glass and wearing a mask. Ok. But I couldn't understand a thing he said. The tub in room #1 appeared to have been painted once and was chipped all over. The mat in the tub looked moldy. Room #2 lacked the chips, the mat was too similar to the previous one. I wore flip flops to shower...the water that wouldn't drain was still in the tub when I left. Gross. I didn't see a point in dragging my things, cat inckeded, to another room. Walls were dirty but the bed was clean. I do appreciate the absence of a likely questionable bedspread. I did not appreciate what they thought passed as pillows. I booked a non smoking room and as I passed doors with "no smoking" signs to smoke outside, my need for nicotine was markedly decreased. There was active and plentiful smoking behind those doors. Worse than I expected by far."

The Blake Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Blake Hotel exceeded our expectations! We booked this hotel after canceling another reservation in Madison near the beach area. We could not be more satisfied with our choice! The location was ideal for delicious dining, checking out impressive Yale museums, local shopping, etc. The hotel front desk staff were polite & extremely helpful. On our last full day in CT, we decided to extend our stay, and they made it super simple to do so. The cleaning staff were extremely impressive! We would call for extra blankets or more coffee, and they were at our door ASAP. Furthermore, I have never stayed at a hotel that did not rush you to clean the room daily, but at this hotel it didn’t matter what time of day we left our room, we always returned to it cleaned. They deserve a raise! Lastly, the overall decor and atmosphere were exceptional. We will stay here again in the future, and recommend it to friends & family."

Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here the weekend of my 50th Yale reunion. I cannot thank the hotel staff for taking such excellent care of me and their other guests. Reception was friendly, welcoming, and courteous; my room was beautifully clean and spacious, design highly functional, sleep quality excellent; breakfast was simple but good, with excellent service. I have friends in New Haven, and will happily stay here again when I come to visit them."
