New Haven Hotel
The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. We only stayed one night as we were there for a graduation and it was conveniently located to where we had to go. However, if I ever find myself in the area again, I would definitely stay there.

Motel 6 Milford, CT
The room wasn't the best the sink and tub wasn't draining good, and I asked them to come and fixed it and no one came to even look at it after they promised they would. Also, the room by the elevator don't get good wifi connection and the TV wouldn't work well in that area.
