Came to Ct for a wedding and stayed at the Days Inn ( Haven't been there for 3 years) The place was GREAT!!! What a change since the last stay.....very clean, friendly service,the breakfast was excellent, the price for two days was outstanding and we were there on a busy weekend. A very family oriented atmosphere. We had a room with free wifi, cable, large rooms with a refrigerator, microwave at no extra cost. also the 24 hour hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate...which the kids loved!! very convenient to restaurants( right next door to a family friendly restaurant). Overall we had a great stay and highly recommend all those coming into town to stay at the Days Inn Branford...well worth it!! My husband and kids really enjoyed their time there.:)

My husband used to come here years ago and found the place to be extremely nice and comfortable to stay at. However, it seems the growing trend of certain ethic groups taking over hotels has hit this one and it appears to be on it's way out. First of all, the room was a little over $80 for one night. There is a pet fee of $15. Considering we've stayed at a lot better places for a lot I found this to be a little bit too much to spend for what was offered. The clerk at the front desk defintily needs lessons in English. And while our room appeared neat, clean and offered the coffee maker, fridge and microwave, there are small signs of neglect everywhere - which if not addressed soon, well, this hotel will go downhill very soon. On the farther end of the building, the outdoor lights are not turned on making it very difficult to navigate walking the area. And by morning, the toilet decided not to work. This place will do in a much needed pinch but as stated, it is beginning to show signs of neglect and we won't be back here.

we live near hartford and after a couple of days without power, i was happy to find a room where i could bring my dogs. my dad & best friend and her brother also ended up booking with them.
this is a days inn, not the hilton or crowne plaza, for the reviewers who expect a 4 or 5 star hotel. days inn is very good about accommodating pets, the rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful. my tv had a problem with the volume which was fixed right away w/ a replacement tv.
the price was probably a little higher than what it would have been if not for the storm, but $99/night was reasonable considering. the owners were nothing but nice and accommodating. we checked in on monday and found out our power was back sunday at 3 or 4 and they didnt charge us for our last day.
i did notice a guest in the lobby arguing w/ the owners about his room rate being raised due to the storm, but im guessing he was rude to them because they waived the pet fee for us, so i know they weren't only concerned about money.
overall, very good clean accommodations and i would recommend them.

I was traveling down to Hartford, CT for an interview (with my husband in tow) and unfortunately the hotel that I was originally booked to stay at had lost power but failed to inform me until I called them at 5pm the night I was to check in. The Days Inn in Branford was the only hotel within 50 miles of Hartford with rooms available for under $200. The only good thing that I can say about the hotel was that I was able to book a room at 8pm the night of the stay.

The hotel itself is almost frightening in appearance from the outside. It closely resembles a set from a horror movie. The doors had no deadbolts, but did have chain locks. The room itself was disgusting. There were stains of varying colors all over the floors, walls, and comforter. The wallpaper was peeling in several places. One of the lights over the bed did not work, and when trying to turn it on, it nearly came off the wall. The bathroom was clean in appearance; however, the floor of the shower was disconcertingly sticky. The heater in the room did not work and blew cold air all night--this is probably something we should have told management, but did not, as we were exhausted from the trip down. The television only got two stations. The bed was hard as a rock and the pillows were old, worn-down, and thoroughly stained to the point that you could see the stains through the pillowcase.

I did not go in to check in/out personally, but my husband states that the front desk workers were terse and disinterested when he was trying to drop the key off in order to check out.

I would not stay here again. Ever.
