Motel 6 New Haven - Branford, CT

4/10 Poor

"The bath tub are very nasty , had to clean the whole bathroom . Smells like cigarettes- non smoking room…. Very loud noise during day . Towels from bathroom to small . Never again "

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale

6/10 Okay

"The hotel didn't have enough parking for guests. The area around the hotel was not ideal especially considering the price of the stay. Outside of the hotel was under construction making it challenging to identify the hotel entrance. Do be aware that breakfast is available, but pricey. Once in the hotel, the experience was great. Clean rooms. Super friendly staff. "

Motel 6 Milford, CT

2/10 Terrible

"For a non-smoking motel…it smelled so bad. The smell of weed and cigarettes was horrible. Our room wasn’t ready at 3:00 check in. Only 1 towel in the bathroom. No facecloth, no hand towel. 1 bath towel! No tissues, 3 sheets of toilet paper left on roll! Seriously, they couldn’t put on a fresh roll of TP! So much noise. You can hear everything and everyone all night long. No more Motel 6 for us! "
