We recently stayed here with our dog. If you need a dog-friendly hotel this is not bad, but I would not recommend for any other reason. The rugs are not clean & the beds are very uncomfortable. Our hair dryer did not work & instead of having anyone to fix it, they gave us a key to go use a... More

Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. No problems with reservations and no wait to check in. Hotel lobby was large and inviting. Good location within walking distance to several restaurants. Shuttle bus was available for travel to New Haven and local restaurants. The children enjoyed the pool. More

Took a group of parents and kids there. Staff were helpful and friendly. We booked months in advance and had no problems with reservations or confirmations. Helpful staff with shuttle bus for those who needed it to area restaurants, etc. Rooms were clean, but plain, spartan. Fridge, which some rooms had, some did not, would have been helpful. More

Went for a wedding and will not return to that hotel. The desk staff was not at all competent. The hotel over booked and sent members of our group to a different hotel,,, they would shuttle them over- but could not guarantee a ride back in the morning. This was all discovered after the wedding at 12:00 midnight! The bed... More

We had 36 rooms booked for a wedding. All 36 rooms had confirmations and were held by credit cards. Upon check-in four of the guests were advised they were being moved to another hotel. Needless to say this was a huge disappointment to everyone especially the bride & groom. The final kicker, one of the rooms that was confirmed but... More

I would recommended getting a room on the 3rd or 4th floor to the right of the entrance. This part of the hotel seems newer and better kept. Rooms are somewhat dated but ours was clean and comfortable. Food is right across the parking lot and is pretty good also. If you are visiting Hamden this is convenient but if... More

We were worried that the Clarion would not meet our needs, but people with pets are generally located on the first floor in the rear of the building. There are two doors, one enters inside the hallway and the second exits to the outside - that was wonderful! Clean grass is right outside the door, and other grassy areas were... More

I found few options in this area, but can't recommend this one either. We were on the ground floor, and the room was dirty, including a few dead bugs, and a little musty. It's an older facility and obviously hard to keep up. Check in was very slow on a Saturday afternoon. More

My daughter and I stayed here while visiting Quinnipiac University. Our one bedroom suite was fine and had a window that opened to the outside. There are a number of rooms that have windows that go out to a glassed in corrider. Another reviewer described it as a glassed in motel- good description. No way would I want one of... More
