Hotels near Branford, CT

“Not bad, especially for the price. It's nice that they have non- smoking and smoking rooms. The first floor smelled kind of like mildew. Bathroom and tub were good.”

“This is a perfectly serviceable hotel for a late night stop off from I-95. The room was clean and fairly comfortable, in short everything expected from a mid-range highway hotel. We have a dog and the pet policy was very reasonable. It was an extra $20 with no weird clauses or rules. We are writing this review because the front desk and facility guys who were working last night really did us a solid. They noticed a light was on in our car and took the time to call our room and let us know. We are so grateful that they went out of their way and that our car battery was not run down this morning. Thank you so much!”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. Exceeded my wife and my expectations for a date night and we'll definitely be back. Limited menu options, so check before you go for something you like - but what they served was superb!”

“I stay here anytime I'm visiting family in the area. Rooms are spacious and well-maintained. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. I dont eat at the restaurant often but when I have the food has been excellent. And the free morning coffee in the lobby can't be beat.”

“Excellent modern property. Restaurant and bar have limited hours. Great facility with a very secure parking garage.

Rooms: Very modern rooms. Clean and well appointed

Safety: Very good hotel and parking garage security”

“We had a wonderful stay at the New Haven Hotel! The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The location is fantastic, with Yale University just a short walk away, making it ideal for exploring the campus and nearby attractions. Parking was convenient, too – there’s a garage across the street with a direct walkway to the hotel. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer. Highly recommend!”

“This review is only about the hotel and my great experience at the hotel. I am not giving a bad review like other reviewers based on the entire neighborhood. I do agree that the neighborhood is a bit on the undesirable side with all the young thugs, noise at night and the vagrants lounging around in public. This I feel is not the hotels fault and they shouldn't be having their name dragged down because of it. If people have issues then they should be contacting law enforcement.

I stayed here for a couple of nights cause I wanted to check out a few of the free museums and sample some New Haven pizza. I think the hotel itself is in a great location where it is close to all points of interest and the staff here is absolutely wonderful. Kaylee checked me in and she very friendly and helpful. My room on the 11th floor was very clean and spacious with a nice view of the city from my window. My bed was comfortable and their was plenty of hot water. No issues there. The lobby is a bit old fashioned, but to me it was charming.

Self parking is $25 and valet is $30 a day. It is a bit steep, but that is pretty standard nowadays since street parking is pretty hard to find. The garage is a bit dark, but you can get around. The hotel has a fitness center on the 3rd floor and a lovely restaurant/bar on the 19th. In the lobby they also have a small café/gift shop and the ladies behind the counter were super nice.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and I look forward to staying here again in the future. I wasn't going to let the negativity of other reviewers scare me from staying here...I am a Brooklyn girl with thick skin and I am used to far worse where I live.”

“We left a filthy hotel and came to this Best Western at 11:00 at night. I could tell immediately after walking into the lobby that we were going to have a much better experience! It was clean and modern and didn't smell like smoke. Our room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the continental breakfast was great. We only had one minor issue. My son found a stain on the comforter on the bed, (they don't use duvet covers,) and refused to sleep under it, so we put it on the floor. I took pictures and showed the front desk clerk the next morning. A manager reached out to us and refunded 50% of our stay. I thought that was reasonable. We would definitely stay here again!”
