We were booked into the Clarion for an event. When I booked, I was told that all that were available were suites. It was an extra $50 per night for the suite. The suite was nice, with nice amenities, refrigerator, microwave, in-room coffee, good toiletries. The suite enabled us to have friends into our room for conversation. The room was... More

I recently chose Clarion-Hamden to lodge friends visiting from out of town. I arrived in the lobby last Thursday to check-in my guests. The lobby is very nicely done. The staff member who checked me in was professional and provided excellent customer service. On Friday morning, I asked my friends about their room and they told me that it was... More

Came for a baseball tournament Would rather stay at a Hilton property and get more for less. Not terrible or mr wife would make us leave. Rooms are small Flat screens have blurry picture. You have to pay for a breakfast any Hilton property gives you for free. Breakfast some items on menu not available. Turns into a bar afternoon,... More

This hotel is unobjectionable. It's clean. There's a cute little makeshift bar in the lobby. The in-room wireless internet works well. You can walk to a diner (there is no restaurant or room service). The price is right. If you need to be in town, and don't need bells and whistles, this is a good option.

Courteous staff, nice lobby and cafe area. The room was typical hotel room, clean and comfortable. Loved the choice of pillows. Quiet location. The only thing I didn't care for was the door to room opened out to open hallway that looked over a railing to the floor below- light from hallway flooded the room even with dark curtains. Didn't...

I booked this hotel for one night as I drove down from NH for my graduation ceremony at Quinnipiac University. Apparently everyone else did too because the lot was packed. My room which I shared with a friend was adequate for the price paid but my overall impression of the facility was that it lacked attention from the staff and... More

I spent couples of night in this hotel, and from the start to the end everything was excellent. From the welcoming staff upon arrival to the check out. The room was spacious and spotless. If i could recommend an hotel around New Haven it will be this one. You are just next to Yale down town, and you can enjoy... More

We stayed here when interviewing at Quinnipiac University. The hotel is conveniently located, only a few minutes drive to QU. There are lots of restaurant options nearby, including the Townhouse diner in the hotel parking lot where we had good breakfasts, and Eli's on Whitney where we had dinner (you can easily walk a few blocks there or drive down...

We rented a suite for a nice romantic getaway. We wanted a room with a nice tub and a fireplace and the room delivered that. We enjoyed being able to view the fireplace from both rooms and how the bathroom opened into the bedroom. Definitely nice for a romantic holiday, but not designed for other arrangements. Otherwise the hotel was... More
