Motel 6 Milford, CT

8/10 Good
"Great place to stay for a quick overnight! Staff was friendly and helpful, the room was surprisingly clean and well kept but the parking lot was not. The parking area was dimly lit and dirty. There appeared to be multiple people living in vehicles in the parking lot and they watched people entering and exiting the motel."
