The Circle Hotel Fairfield
"Clean room, broken shade in 5, shredded bath towel, comfortable beds, small fridge, no microwave, not breakfast but basic continental, old motel-like, non-ADA, add-on facility charge is a slap, overpriced."

Best Western Executive Hotel Of New Haven - West Haven
"Room was clean and staff were helpful. Location right on the highway is rough with constant noise but it's convenient. Parking seemed somewhat limited, if the hotel was more full it wasn't clear where you'd have to go. The 7/11 within immediate walking distance is also a plus."
