New Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room is average but more spacious than we thought. AC fan is loud. TV remote is sticky, it might not be wiped and cleaned for a while. Location is good but parking is a problem. Public parking lot charges less if you check out early. Reception people are indifferent and reluctant to introduce details about the hotel."
