Graduate by Hilton New Haven

8/10 Good

"steps out front and no parking, but clean"

Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"As a traveling business person there places that advertise “they are the best” and then there’s cambria. Very unique and if I didn’t know any better I’d think I was home that’s how pleasant staying at this property is. I recommend it to anyone who is doing a quick stay at a decent price. Everything about this hotel is very unique. Until further notice this will be my New Haven home away from home from now on."

New Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you're looking for a downtown hotel for a night or two, this is a great location. Parking is available in the ramp across the street. Easy peasy. Lobby is large, rooms are clean. My only suggestion is the front desk staff needs to be a bit more informed about the area.... what's open later at night, what is walkable, what are great places to dine. Of course I can Google it myself but I look to the "locals" to tell me about the area surrounding the hotel."

Trumbull Marriott Shelton

10/10 Excellent

"The Marriott is such a pretty little hotel out of the way in a nice location in Trumbull, CT. The rooms are very clean with comfy beds. The hotel itself is so nice with many comfy seating areas everywhere, gorgeous massive fireplace in lobby and a nice restaurant called Parallel Post, which has a yummy, albeit small menu. We had lunch and my chicken sandwich and fries were truly delish. Best chicken I have had in quite a while actually. My husband had the best burger he has had in a heel and he is a foodie, so that is saying a lot! The service was great and they do not rush you at all. I appreciate that check out is at noon, also, there is always plenty of parking. I will visit again and get another king room. It was fabulous!"
