Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent experience from check-in to check-out! The front desk and bell hop were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out was quick and uneventful. The king-sized room was perfect for a one-night stay. The bed was SUPER comfortable and the room was quiet. The gym was well-equipped, with proper cardio machines, some weight machines, free weights, benches, and mats. There are plenty of restaurants along the street outside and easy to get around."

"Good value. Good location, two blocks from New Haven Green."

Hampton Inn & Suites New Haven - South - West Haven

10/10 Excellent

"Tatianna the front desk receptionist was so pleasant and accommodating coming in from out of town she went above and beyond to assist us an anyway possible being in customer service is challenging and she does it with ease because of her kind spirit will definitely be back and I am also now a rewards member 😁"

Best Western Executive Hotel Of New Haven - West Haven

8/10 Good

"The two Issues I had was the carpet was a little bit sticky, like I didn’t wanna be barefoot on it, but it wasn’t dirty. Then at night the shower water did not get hot. However, in the morning my husband said the shower was too hot and he couldn’t get it colder. The breakfast was pretty good, lots of choices. Only thing is if you’re on a keto diet the only thing that was there were eggs, no bacon or sausage. Overall, property was clean, maintain and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
