Top Short Beach Hotel Reviews

Quality Suites Stratford

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Quick checkin and checkout. Needed a place close to SHU for Family Weekend. Rates were reasonable and close enough to campus. Only negative was pool was not open."

Red Roof Inn Milford - New Haven

8/10 Good

"good"

Springhill Suites Milford

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful"

The Surfside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful ocean front location. Private Sandy Beach. Clean and well maintained. Great onsite pub and restaurant. We enjoyed our stay so much!"

Landing Furnished Apartments South End Stratford

8/10 Good

"Well-organized furnished studio apartment in a newish apartment complex, a bit nicer than the rest of the neighborhood. One negative is that it's on the ground floor facing a moderately busy street (some noise) with pedestrians right outside, and no curtains, only horizontal blinds so it feels a bit exposed. Less than half a mile up the street is a nice brewpub, but grocery shops are further."
