Top Downtown Stamford Hotel Reviews

Tarrytown House Estate

8/10 Good

"👍"

Amsterdam Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Amsterdam Hotel was a decent find near downtown Stamford. It offers an affordable, very clean & quiet stay with plenty of free onsite self parking. The room was relatively spacious & very clean. The decor & furnishings were older but comfortable. It did not have the convenient connectivity options most modern travelers need. Luckily I had an extension cord with power strip which accommodated charging our various devices on the night stands by the bed. The desk staff were nice & very helpful when engaged with questions about the area. The hotel provides a basic continental breakfast with individually wrapped muffins, bagels, toaster waffles, cold cereal bowls, regular coffee, hot water & orange juice. If you prefer decaf coffee &/or a hot breakfast, there are a few good neighborhood cafes & diners within a comfortable walking distance or relatively short drive from the hotel. All-in-all a pleasant experience & we would consider staying there again on a future visit to the area."
