Air conditioning barely worked, sheets would not stay on the bed, toilet has to be flushed 3 times, every time you turn the tv on you have to reset the cable box, shower/tub has big rust chips, water pressure fluctuates dramatically, 1 of the bed side lights dosent work, room phone does not work so when there is an issue you have to walk down to the office.

Staff was very friendly. Carpet in room was stained. Hotel shares parking lot with a restaurant. The restaurant puts milk crates and compound buckets in random parking spots in the lot. Had to park in rear lot which appears to house some type of section 8 residents.

Trying to check out. Waited at least 10 minutes. No one at the desk. Also wanted to report that the closet door was broken. Checked in a little early. Got a room on an upper floor requiring the longest walk to the elevator and then the longest walk to the room (with lots of luggage using the cart), which then had to be returned. Asked for a room on the lobby floor and was told nothing was available.

My First Ordeal!

I went healthy and came back with waist pain. The bed was like a raft. The sprigs in the mattress were making excessive noice as I turned on my sides on the king's bed. The carpet in the room was sticky and the couch with the stool were tainted with dirts and marks that looked like animal drool. The hair dryer in the bathroom was just decoration. It was not working and not usable. The shower was splashing everywhere. I met 4 customers at the front desk with complaints when I went to lodge mine about my unexpected mishaps in my room to the representative at the front desk. They were also complaining with similar ordeal. The Front desk person said housekeeping and the maintenance were not available. There was no bodywash but three body lotions and one shampoo. There was no conditioner. I had to get them from the front desk myself when it was time to take a shower. The food was monotonous. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone!

NOT the place to stay in Hamden!

Our hotel room did not have a window to the outside, only a window to the hallway, so we felt as if we were in a fishbowl and had to keep the blinds drawn at all times. There was obvious mold in several spots in the bathroom, and even though the entire property was allegedly smoke and marijuana free, there was a pervasive smell of marijuana in the lobby area, as well as our hallway. We will never stay here again.

Property is as well kept as possible but it’s very old and run down. Seems like homeless people are housed on bottom floor near back handicapped parking area. Key card wouldn’t open back entrance near handicap parking spot so I had to drag my luggage to the side door which had a step so I had to lift my bags.

Left at 4am when the guy in the room next to mine tried to break into my room through the door that joins the two rooms. It was not the most secure door either as it was dated and old. The noise woke me up , thank goodness, and I left in my what I was wearing. Also it was ice cold on there and so I slept with 2 pr of socks, a winter hat, 2 shirts and 2 or swear pants. Do not recommend at all. Underneath the beds looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in many years. Just filthy. Not at all safe
