The Surfside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"That it was on the shoreline"

Red Roof Inn Milford - New Haven

8/10 Good

"Everything was good."

Springhill Suites Milford

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve been coming to this property at least twice per year for the last 15 years. We stay here new visiting family in Bridgeport. The staff is welcoming, the rooms are spacious and clean."

Motel 6 Milford, CT

10/10 Excellent

"Great room with reasonable price"

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."
