Top Branford Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Milford / New Haven

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend the entire staff was amazing rooms were clean breakfast was a small selection but good"

Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

6/10 Okay

"The place wasn't terrible and the staff was pleasant. The name and photos are misleading. This is basically a motel trying to seem like an inn or small hotel. It looks like the type of place that attracts a questionable clientele, but because it's Old Saybrook, they probably get a lot of wedding/event guests. The room itself was clean and pleasantly furnished, but the one easily accessible outlet was worn out and chargers kept falling out. The tub had a large crack in it (we did not use it). It was overall fine if you're staying for those reasons or a long distance travel break, but if you're looking for a couples weekend/nice place to stay, this isn't it."

Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough about this hotel. I’ve stayed in New York several times, but all my future stays will be at this establishment. I’ve never stated a hotel where the staff was so helpful and bent over backwards to make sure you were comfortable. Felt safe and helped you with what ever you needed. Thank you."

Hilton Garden Inn Shelton

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean but when we checked in both beds were in bad shape. My daughter sat on the edge and almost fell back and when my grandson got in bed it sounded like the bed was broken in half. But thankfully staff was able to switch our rooms and it was much better. The pool and hot tub were running and the rooms were clean and stocked well. I enjoyed my stay!"

New Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel. It is beautiful, great staff, walking distance to the best of New Haven and affordable. We have stayed there before and will be back again and again! FYI for those of you planning on sampling the “pizza”. It’s called appiza (ah beets) and there is nothing like it in the world. Grew up there…total appiza snob. Skip the touristy spots on Wooster and hit up something local (Bar or Modern)."
