Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale

10/10 Excellent

"helpful staff and very clean room"

Best Western Executive Hotel Of New Haven - West Haven

8/10 Good

"Staff were nice, check in, and check out was very easy. Shower could be updated but not bad. TV was the worse, did not work well/only very few channels that came in. Good hotel for if you just want a place to rest your head and get some sleep. (Be careful if you are a light sleeper because certain rooms are behind the elevators and tend to be noisy even with bathroom separating it.) I personally enjoyed the room next/behind the elevators :) parking was pretty packed but not completely full (we stayed on a week day)."
