Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel in a nice little city! Well-maintained, updated lobby and spacious rooms, along with friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for the stay - wish it could have been longer!"

Hilton Garden Inn Milford

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for two nights when we were getting our house renovated. It was on our short list of hotels that accepted dogs that were 75 or more pounds. We have two German shepherds. The hotel had a lot of outdoor space to walk the dogs and had poopy bags and garbage outside. The staff was very friendly. We were on the first floor and had easy access to an exit door a few hundred feet from my room to easily walk the dogs. There is a small gym that was nice that I used the treadmill at. There’s a pool right next to the gym that we did not use, but it looked nice and clean. The room was nice. For a standard room it was on the bigger side. It had a small refrigerator, Keurig, coffee machine, and microwave. The bed was comfortable, but not the most comfortable I’ve slept on. The pillows were not very comfortable. There was a nice desk and the air conditioning worked well. There were electrical outlets and USB chargers to charge your devices on one of the nightstands. The shower and bathroom were clean. The water pressure in the shower was OK. There was a lot of counter space on the vanity to put toiletries. The main thing I did not like was that when you turned the bathroom light on it had a really loud fan. It would’ve been nice if there were separate switches for the fan and light. The Room was clean. There is a restaurant that we had grilled chicken sandwiches at one night that were really good. Overall, a nice three star property."
