10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, convenient and quiet."

Best Western Executive Hotel Of New Haven - West Haven

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the carpet was stained in places, and the bed was very comfortable. I did not utilize the pool or the breakfast so I can’t comment on them. There is not a lot of parking in the front of the building and didn’t feel safe parking in back at night. I feel it was a good value for the money."
