Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale
Fast and easy check in. The room was clean and comfortable. It was very quiet as well. The only complaint is, they didn't tell us that breakfast wasn't complimentary. $80 for 3 for breakfast is ridiculous. Great stay, otherwise.

All good, except one day where some people were smoking marijuana outside and my room absorb all the smoke. This is unacceptable
