Hotels in New Haven are pricy and outdated. This one is the exception. It looks brand new, very contemporary design, and it is very well priced. The room was comofrtable and modern, I got a corner one with two windows, which makes it very bright. I also had a nice desk, very convenient for work. It is a little more far away from Yale, but it is worth the 10 minutes walk. The only thing I would have liked is to have free breakfast

I did not like the fact that there’s hair on the towels, bedsheets and also on the floor. If I was not there with my husband I would think he The bedsheets have stains on them. There was no microwaves in the rooms. I stayed in this hotel 2 years ago and it was amazing when I stthus time, I found out that the quality was not that good.

Bathroom Disappointment

**Review:** The hotel was disappointing due to poor cleanliness, especially in the bathroom. The bathroom, especially the shower, didn’t have great detail paid to it. I cleaned the bathrolm myself. Housekeeping clearly didn’t pay enough attention to detail. For the price, I expected much better hygiene. Would not recommend unless improvements are made.
