Top Branford Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Haven

4/10 Poor

"• Substandard cleanliness — Overall cleanliness throughout the hotel was noticeably poor. • Broken elevators — One elevator was completely out of service, and the other was barely functioning. • Filthy stairs — Because the elevators didn’t work, we had to use stairs that were extremely dirty. • No real lobby — There was no actual lobby; only the breakfast area, and after breakfast all chairs were stacked, leaving zero seating for guests. • Misleading room photos — Pictures showed sofas and couches, but our room had no seating at all. • Door wouldn’t close — The room door only closed if you forced it hard, likely due to uneven flooring or misalignment; kids couldn’t close it. • Peeling wall surface — The wall near the ceiling had peeled off, giving the room a neglected appearance. • Broken commode seat — The toilet seat was broken, adding to the list of maintenance issues. • Unprofessional front desk — Staff handed us bath tissue instead of facial tissue. • Poor value for the price — The stay was far too expensive for the quality provided. • Brand disappointment — I previously had a good impression of La Quinta, but this location did not meet the brand’s standards."

Best Western Executive Hotel Of New Haven - West Haven

8/10 Good

"This was my second stay at this property, with the first being at least 5 years ago. The lobby and breakfast area were renovated, although they removed the old omelette station they once had with staff preparing freshly made food! I arrived around 10:30pm, check in was quick, but staff could have been friendlier or more welcoming. I was given room 310, which was right next to the elevator, so I could hear it going up and down all night. At least I was not facing the highway so I didn't hear any outside noise. I had booked my room several months ago so was hoping for a better spot on the floor. The room itself was fine, albeit a bit dated, and hasn't changed from years ago when I last stayed, aside from possibly a new chair and ottoman. The king bed was comfortable, had 4 pillows, although one was quite worn down, and felt as if it held over 1,000 heads. The bathroom was VERY tight and claustrophobic, toilet seat opening was uncomfortably small, and one of the 2 bath towels was so worn, there were small holes forming, and I could nearly see through it! There was also a long black hair on one of the hand towels. The water pressure in shower was decent, but controlling the temperature was so delicate as it would go from hot to cold when barely moving it. Breakfast was great, a highlight, including large donuts and pastries, love the yogurt machine although it was basically empty, wish they had more topping options, bacon was out, eggs were decent, and good coffee!"

Hotel Marcel New Haven, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Quietest room I ever slept in and the staff at this hotel are exceptional. Bravo. I wish all hotels were Passive House certified and delivered such a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We also used the hotel bicycles to pedal into New Haven. Super fun."

Courtyard by Marriott New Haven Orange-Milford

4/10 Poor

"The room smelled musty and/or moldy—it was on the first floor. The smell was bad enough that it bothered us the whole time we were there. The hallway smelled bad too. The staff were having a terrible time using their new computer system. It took over 20min to check in, and that was at 12:45am when we were desperate to get into a room. I heard another guest say the elevator door broke and she couldn’t get her bag off of it. Also the pool was out of commission."

Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here the weekend of my 50th Yale reunion. I cannot thank the hotel staff for taking such excellent care of me and their other guests. Reception was friendly, welcoming, and courteous; my room was beautifully clean and spacious, design highly functional, sleep quality excellent; breakfast was simple but good, with excellent service. I have friends in New Haven, and will happily stay here again when I come to visit them."
