My First Ordeal!
I went healthy and came back with waist pain. The bed was like a raft. The sprigs in the mattress were making excessive noice as I turned on my sides on the king's bed.
The carpet in the room was sticky and the couch with the stool were tainted with dirts and marks that looked like animal drool.
The hair dryer in the bathroom was just decoration. It was not working and not usable. The shower was splashing everywhere. I met 4 customers at the front desk with complaints when I went to lodge mine about my unexpected mishaps in my room to the representative at the front desk. They were also complaining with similar ordeal.
The Front desk person said housekeeping and the maintenance were not available.
There was no bodywash but three body lotions and one shampoo. There was no conditioner. I had to get them from the front desk myself when it was time to take a shower.
The food was monotonous.
I will never recommend this hotel to anyone!

NOT the place to stay in Hamden!
Our hotel room did not have a window to the outside, only a window to the hallway, so we felt as if we were in a fishbowl and had to keep the blinds drawn at all times. There was obvious mold in several spots in the bathroom, and even though the entire property was allegedly smoke and marijuana free, there was a pervasive smell
of marijuana in the lobby area, as well as our hallway. We will never stay here again.

Heater A/C and toilets were not working properly in my assigned room, so I requested a room change, which was accomplished after some delay from staff.
TV and bed were overall nice though I later discovered some (apparent) bed bug bites on myself.

Room was dank. Dirty and dusty carpet with rips and stains. Bugs in room. Wall light switches were dirty. Fridge freezer had layers of old ice build up, microwave had food remnants. Phone was dirty. Bathroom was clean, I’ll give them that. Got off elevator on wrong floor, carpet in hall was all ripped up. Expedia photos are not a good representation of actual rooms. Checked out after one night. (Took pictures, so I have back up) Also, site says they have a shuttle from train but that is no longer available.

Staff are very unfriendly and basically ignore guests. However the restaurant in the parking lot is outstanding if for nothing else that restaurant made the stay here better.

It is conveniently located. Also the Townhouse diner (across the parking lot but not affiliated with the hotel) is very good. Otherwise the hotel is not much to write home about. The hotel needs some work. It’s not the worst place in town, but not the best. It’s an ok value for the money. As long as they keep the price reasonably low, I’m OK that it’s a mediocre hotel.

Ok for the night
Staff was friendly. Breakfast was subpar but free so can’t complain other than about the rotting fruit they put out. Overall, it was quiet and a decent place for the night. We took an Uber for under $20 to get into New Haven for a concert.

The mattress was terribly uncomfortable making sleep difficult. The ice machine on the floor did not work and the vending machine was practically empty and was sticky and not clean. The staff at the hotel were excellent.
