Great value, wonderful room, great breakfast. 5 good cardio machines in the fitness room. Didnt use the small pool but it looked good. Will definitely stay there again!
Driving to this hotel from one direction was fine but from another direction, at night, seemed a little "lock the doors-ish". It is close to the highway but not noisy. It is close to shopping but not walkable. Lots of options for food and entertainment nearby. Lounge areas felt clean and no problems with the rooms.
Rooms were very clean and I loved that they had dove soap as the product for dispensers just maybe need upgrading on tvs later on? but overall had a good stay.
Everything was awesome. The room was clean. Staff was nice, breakfast was awesome. Pool was great albeit a bit cooler than my preference. The bathrooms were clean. The amenities were great. I just wish the pillows were a bit better but that's a global thing. A couple of gas stations in the area with fully stocked convenience stores. The mall was also nearby. The only thing that could possibly make the hotel a little better would be electric car charging stations.
The young man at the front desk is the sweetest!! I was in a desperate situation and he accommodated me without hesitation. I am beyond grateful. My room was clean, quiet, comfortable and I felt safe. That is priceless. The location is very convenient, close to everything. Highly recommend!!
Stayed here for a weekend while visiting relatives. Had 4 rooms. We all were impressed with this hotel. I am a long time member of Holiday Inn Priority Club, and this newly remodeled place is near the top of my Holiday Inn Experiences. Location is good if your looking to be near the highway and away from crowded cities. Everything was clean and shiny, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast was above average for a Holiday Inn (sausage, scrambled eggs, fruit, juices breads etc.). Kids raved about the pancakes that came out of the pancake machine.
Nothing to complain about here. A decent hotel, for an okay price, especially considering the area, with plenty of free parking, and a decent free breakfast was included. Croissants, x, sausage and gravy. More than Continental breakfast, but nothing extremely fancy either. Overall, it was a good value, especially comparison to the surrounding hotels.
The breakfast was amazing. You save yourself 60$ before you start because you don't have to go out for breakfast. The gym was very sufficient for all you gym rats. It's no golds gym but I was able to sufficiently get done what I needed to to stay in my routine. It's nice to be able to jump in the pool immediately after my work out. Rooms a reasonable and clean. To top it off the staff was very pleasant and willing to help with ideas to do while in town, 10 out of 10.
Just south of Interstate 95, this contemporary hotel is 2 miles from downtown Milford's train station and harbor. It's 9 miles from New Haven and Yale University, and 11 miles from Webster Arena and Beardsley Zoo.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Connecticut. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
