Great price, great location, great room!

The outside of this hotel might not look like much but the rooms inside are surprisingly nice- especially for the price!! The bed was very comfortable and everything looked updated/modernized! My only complaint is that there was some light stains on the bedding- but I’d attribute that to regular aging/wear&tear and not cleanliness. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice affordable stay in the New Haven area!

Hotel was gone for what I needed it for. However in the 4 day stay they never made the beds or changed the sheets. Plus they need to get better towels. They were terrible. I could not dry pff after my shower. Tell them go to Costco and buy new ones. They were so thin and small it was ridiculous.

Everything was ok except for that there wasn't a security lock for the inside of room 211. There also a visible space in the door from the outside giving me concerns about the security of that door. Otherwise the experience was quite pleasant.

Not very good place to stay

The stay was sub-par in every way, even in cleanliness. The room was huge which was nice and it did have a small fridge and microwave. But the TV didn’t have any apps and had very few channels. The sheets and towels were clean but the overall feel was not of super clean like usually in a hotel room. I think hotel guests were staying on the 2nd floor (no elevator so if you have a wheelchair or can’t do stairs this is NOT the place for you) and I think the bottom part of the place was for those with homeless vouchers. We will not be staying there again.
