Moved from another hotel to this one after a relocation to CT from NJ. I didn't regret the move at all! The hotel is super clean and the staff is super friendly. Any request I needed was immediately handled. The rooms are a great size, the hotel is quiet, despite all the construction workers who stay there. Wireless is a one time fee of $4.99 for your stay, for as many computers as you have (not $4.99 per computer) and the access is fast and dependable. Although it is basically no frills, no restaurant/gym/pool, it is an excellent value for the long term resident and I highly recommend it for anyone who needs kitchen facilities during a relocation or a long term stay.

My wife and I love this hotel! We have visited this property a few times and always feel right at home. We travel a lot in many countries but when in Connecticut visiting family this is our favorite. The service is amazing, the staff is really dedicated to making the guests as comfortable as possible. The manager frequently takes the time to see that we are happy with our room and wants to know if he can do anything to make it better. Whether our request is additional towels or a restaurant recommendation he's right there giving his full attention.
The rooms are wonderful, well-equipped kitchens very useful. The layout is simple but with ample space. Great multiple light sources. Several individual lamps on both sides of the room make attaining the proper illumination easy. Great for me because I love to read. Nice bathrooms. Plenty of towels of all sizes. Housekeeping keeps the place very clean. And the housekeeper, too, always asks to see if we are okay with the room.
Superb location. Not only is the hotel close to highways, but tucked back with a lovely view of trees at the same time. We have now visited in the summer and winter, and whether green or white- a great view of nature makes a difference. Provides for a fine backdrop when we go for a walk/run. I run, my wife walks for the record. Very tranquil hotel inside and out. The on-site laundry is very convenient. With this hotel's attention to detail and excellent price it's a fantastic all-around value.

I have been a Marriott Silver member for many years. In fact when we visited CT in our previous three visits, we stayed at a Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott and Resident Inn with costs $100-140/nite.. This is where we found out about Extended StayAmerica Meriden because it was next door to the Resident Inn Meriden.

On our very next visit to CT we stayed at Extended Stay America Meriden and found the accommodations to be an incredible value. It had a microwave, stove, full size refrigerator A/C and lots of room to move around and layout our luggage. We saved over 40% on what it would have cost at the Resident Inn. When we needed things like towels, soap, etc, it was free and easy to get and there was a laundry facility on the site for our dirty clothes. We were so impressed that we had the manager, Steve, book us rooms at Extended StayAmerica in Rhode Island, Newark, NJ, and Philadelphia on another leg of our trip. Checking the internet, we found he got us the same or in two cases, a better deal than if we booked it ourselves. This is the best kept secret and I have switched to make Extended StayAmerica my first choice when traveling on vacation. The locations are nearby most major hotel chains, but the savings and value are worth it to look into.

Another possibility in the future is to use Extended StayAmerica for my college age student if he plans to stay in CT for an internship during the summer months. The monthly rate is even better.

All suites with full kitchen- these hotels do not have dish soap nor electric can-openers. Very clean and nice though- great value and location in wooded area. Front desk super!!!
