New Haven hotel guide. Red Roof Inn hotel in New Haven, Connecticut

"Honestly, for the price, you never can expect too much and I know that. However. - what's displayed in this ad is NOTHING like the experience. The second I walked into the room you see visible white splotches and stains all over the comforter as well as animal hairs. The paint is chipping off of all of the walls. There are literally gaps and holes in the wall that were covered with pieces of paper bags and cardboard. That means I'm sure the next door room can see in if that were to be removed or fall out. They gave me a room right in the front, I'm sure in hopes I wouldn't notice the people they put in the back of the hotel who are clearly homeless people and addicts. That probably wouldnt have even bothered me if the room wasn't disgusting. While I was standing outside somebody asked me "how much I charge?" insinuating that I was a prostitute. Which made me think of the stains on the comforter, lovely. If the pictures had a single updated photo I would have known better than to book here. If you're low on cash - give ANY other place similar in cost a try. The only thing I'll give them is that the person at the front desk was nice enough to replace my blanket."

"I had a great stay at this property overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The staff was friendly and helpful, always willing to answer questions and make sure everything was taken care of. The kitchen was stocked with the basics needed for cooking, which was convenient during the stay. Parking was also easy to access and felt safe, which was a big plus. The location was convenient, close to nearby attractions, restaurants, and stores. If I had to mention one thing for improvement, it would be minor updates to some areas to make the space feel a bit more modern. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property and would consider staying here again in the future."

"Super close to everything, comfortable bed, and good location! There wasn’t breakfast, but there are fantastic restaurants within walking distance"

"It was advertised as waterfront view. I could see the water but the interstate 95 was in the way. Also the entire area smelled like Marajuana. There were two dispensaries right next door to the hotel. Also the area seemed a little sketchy. Many people hanging out in the lobby and surrounding areas. I don’t think that they were guests but one never knows. The room was clean. Staff were extremely helpful. We just stayed one night and that’s probably as much as I would ever stay if in a pinch."

"I do not recommend this. It is nasty, dirty, smells very bad and a lot of street people outside smoking drugs. Photos are not real, rooms do not look like that."

"Beautiful property. Attentive staff. "

"The location is perfect for exploring New Haven. It is close to galleries, great food and Yale University. Although we didn’t use it, it was nice to have complete kitchen available. Great Hotel!"

"Everything was excellent—we had a great stay and would absolutely return. The only minor issue was that the mattresses felt a bit worn and slightly saggy and could use an update. There’s no on-site parking, but the parking garage is less than a 3-minute walk from the hotel, which was still very convenient."
