“The exterior may not impress, but surprisingly, the rooms offer a modern, updated feel that defies the price point. For travelers seeking affordable stays in the New Haven area, this could be a smart choice. I think the spacious king rooms, noted for cleanliness and comfortable beds, stand out as a particularly good value.”
