Top Branford Hotel Reviews

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale

10/10 Excellent

"Loved restaurant Food was amazing"

Red Roof Inn Meriden

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless, and the shower was fantastic, but what I loved most was that we forgot our wall chargers, and they were provided as a room amenity. There’s also a microwave at the entrance. Small details like that make a big difference. We’re also traveling with our dog, Bear, just like many others, and not only did they allow dogs, but they didn’t charge an extra fee. I really appreciate that."

Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

10/10 Excellent

"Absolute gem really cool giant picnic table in the middle of the room, which is great for kids are just getting work done. The staff is absolutely wonderful. The view is gorgeous. If you stay on the backside of the hotel cannot recommend this place enough. What a surprise incredible bargain."
