Hilton Garden Inn Shelton

6/10 Okay

"The room refrigerator froze everything. And I didn't get my receipt via email as promised. It's the little things that we expect in terms of quality & service."

Motel 6 New Haven - Branford, CT

2/10 Terrible

"I think they may be housing homeless out of the unoccupied rooms. I have never had a hotel experience quite like it. It said it was smoke free but clearly had been smoked in throughout the entire property. I will say I was relieved that the floor were hard wood/laminate, but even so I would not have considered walking on them without shoes."

Courtyard by Marriott New Haven Orange-Milford

4/10 Poor

"When I checked in the desk clerk told me, by the way the elevators aren’t working and I have no other rooms available except the 2nd floor you’ll have to use the stairs. We had heavy luggage and bags and coolers. The pool was dirty and the place was outdated!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Haven

6/10 Okay

"Our room was clean, which is about the only positive I can say. The neighborhood is very industrial, sometimes scary. The hotel is right next to a cannabis facility. One of the elevators didn't work the whole weekend. The wait was about 8 minutes in the morning to try to get to the lobby with the one existing elevator The advertised pool has been filled in. Our blinds were broken and didn't roll down. The tv didn't work, and we were told there was nothing that could be done. The bathroom had a huge chip in the vanity. The shower continually switched back to running bath water. Breakfast was available, but abysmal. The entire facility needs an update inside. The bottom floor has been done and is very nice, but the rest of the facility is in pretty rough shape."

New Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is centrally located to Yale, Toads for concerts, is close to highway and train station. Great restaurants within a short walk. One recommendation would be a locked entry from the parking garage as there is direct access to the hotel room floors. The garage is also gated, but the added layer would have made me feel more secure. Overall, great stay and I’d definitely come back!"

The Blake Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and very welcoming. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay."
