New Haven Hotel

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 22 Mar 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

A man in the next room kept me up all night. The night desk attendant couldn't speak English, so he sent what looked like maintenance man to provide security. He knocked at the door next to us and then walked away. The worst hotel I have stayed in for a long time. Unhelpful staff and dirty place.

Positives: A clearly marked exit.

Negatives: Dirty, loud, unsafe and unfriendly.

The breakfast area on second floor was very nice, but they only serve breakfast and at the restaurant you can enter the catwalk over to the second floor of the parking garage, but the door locks and you then have to go downstairs to walk across the street. The bed wasn't too bad, but not the pillow top type.

Positives: Nice clean room and free internet and I thought the staff were nice and helpful.

Negatives: Parking is expensive and the rooms seem old fashion.

The New Haven Hotel has a great location and very friendly people. However, it was noisy, and the rooms didn't feel clean because they were old and stained. The dim lighting in the bathroom made taking a shower a challenge. Parking was expensive.

Positives: Very close to Yale.

Negatives: Old, stained furniture and carpet, poor lighting in bedroom & bath.

Very old and dirty. The hotel has a $12.00 a day charge for parking that they do a poor job of explaining. The hotel restaurant charges $10.00 per person for continental buffet that can be had at most hotels for nothing. This hotel should be avoided!

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: They didn't explain that there is a $12.00 a day parking in addition to the cost of the room.

For the price that I paid it was an excellent deal. The restaurant is only open for a short time for breakfast. It would be nice if it was open for dinner. The common area in the lobby is spacious and clean. There is also a common area on the top floor that is also spacious and clean.

Positives: Attitude of front desk staff.

Negatives: Noise in adjacent room.

Quaint, hotel with beautiful framed art and mahogany furnishings. Located near Yale University. Lots of eating places within walking distance. Old movie theatre within a block. Large old wood paneled elevator-nice. Nice white sheets and bedspreads, in good sized rooms. Clean bathrooms and shower.

Positives: Located in Downtown, close enough to have a pleasant, safe walk around after dark.

Negatives: Area that you drive your car in, very tight. Also, parking across the street in a ramp garage.

Overall, the hotel was fine and I enjoyed my stay.

Positives: The hotel was quiet and cozy.

Negatives: Hotel had no parking so I had to use the nearby paid parking garage at $12 each day.

Hotel was moderate at best. I had a poor location room. I was not able to see amenities other than a decent workout room was across from my room. Lobby and entrance to street look like a step up from a motel.

Positives: One of few available downtown location hotels under a 4 star rating.

Negatives: Getting a little old and shopworn, carpet was in need of replacement.

We travel lot as business travelers, my husband and myself. We have been in many hotels up and down the East coast and some of the Midwest. This was by far the worst we have seen yet. The carpets were dirty and worn. The couch in the room was worn from pink to almost white, and had stains on the seats. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Positives: The hotel bed and pillows were very comfortable. The only thing we liked.

Negatives: Carpets were worn and dirty both in lobby and room. Furniture in room was worn and stained.

Availability for space is great, old and worn, pool (which was an excellent resource) is closed.

Positives: Secure parking garage without valet.

Negatives: Old, worn furniture, draperies, wall paint.
