“The Ha-Ha Room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2009
2
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this motel several times because it's convenient to my inlaws' homes in Branford. We appreciate their liberal pet policy because we travel with one of our cats. On our last visit, Thanksgiving of 2008, we reserved the room via the internet well in advance of our arrival date. According to the website, the room would be equipped with two double beds, a table and two chairs. In our previous experiences, there had been a blow dryer mounted on the bathroom wall as well so we didn't pack ours. Upon arrival, we were assigned to a room on the first floor that had no table, one chair and no hairdryer. We asked the desk clerk what had become of our table and he said rooms with double beds don't come with tables. After that exchange, we decided asking about the blow dryer would be futile. The next day I asked the housekeeping staff if the other rooms with double beds had tables and she said they did. The first floor of the motel, which we prefer because we both have so-so knees, was full so we remained in that room for the four nights we visited Connecticut. I would agree with another reviewer who stated that the non-smoking rooms smell like smoke; the smoking rooms are scattered about randomly and one can be next door to a smoker.

  • Liked — Inexpensive, convenient to inlaws' homes.
  • Disliked — Room was not as advertised, cigarette smoke smell pervasive
  • Stayed November 2008, travelled with family

“Fair value for $50”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2008

The room was clean and in good condition. Whoever was in the next room had the TV up very loud at 11:30 PM but the front desk was reasonably responsive in getting them to turn it down. After they did so, the room was adequately quiet. My wife found the bed uncomfortable but I thought it was OK. More/better pillows would have helped - if you can, take your own. Check in/out was quick and easy and there were no price surprises.

  • Liked — Cheap price
  • Disliked — bed comfort
  • Stayed October 2008, travelled as a couple

“Smelled like Lysol”

Room smelled like a whole bottle of Lysol had been emptied on the carpet. I wonder what they were covering up?

“Smokey Joe and Marge might feel at home”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2003
10
people found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I stayed here in late July on our way to a concert at Jones Beach Long Island. This is a cheap Motel 6...and because it's out of the way from view and interest, it suffers neglect beyond that of the typical cheap motels around New Haven. Be aware that a "non-smoking room" is going to be just as odorous as a smoking room. As we entered the motel from the back door, a mysterious shirtless man met our presence in the stairway that was just below our room. His cigarete smoke leaked into our room and he left a mess of crumpled 711 and McDonalds bags all over the hall for us to enjoy.
