New Haven Hotel
The front desk, Stephanie L went above abe beyond! I would stay here again because she made me feel like a VIP, as she did with everyone else who checked in. She is great and very professional with New Haven charm! Thanks Stephanie!

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale
The room was dusty and dirty especially the bathroom, Please be aware of noise at night! There is a nightclub across the street and you won’t be able to sleep at all. The staff are okay. Do not recommend to stay here. Please go to another Hotel.

Hyatt Place Milford / New Haven
I've been coming to this location for a number of years. The breakfast is so so ( not that tasty). The staff was fine. Liked the floor covering change from carpet in the rooms, but the bathroom needs updating. The parking lot seems fine.
