I was forced to stay here for 1 week by my company. The first night I was there, I was propositioned by a fat, nasty hooker. I woke up and went out into the hallway and there was garbage in front of several doors. I called the front desk and told them. They replied, "So clean it up!" I took a shower and the tub was clogged so bad that it took 2 hours to empty out. I called and reported it and they said someone would take care of it. 2 days later someone came up and fixed it. Anyway, back to the garbage in the hallway. After a couple of hours, I went back out in the hallway and there they were... 3 BIG RATS eating the garbage on the 2nd floor. They ran away and I took the garbage and sent it down stairs via the elevator. I called and reported the RATS and they said, "There are no RATS in this hotel."
The whole building should be condemned. It smells and everything is broken. The electrical sockets are hanging out of the walls and the carpets are filthy. The bedding smelled like it had never been washed and the staff were as clean as cockroaches. They really didn't clean or sanitize anything. PLEASE DON'T BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed for two nights in this hotel. The website has the La Quinta logo so we assumed they would have the same quality standards as the rest of the La Quinta chain. We were wrong.

The hotel shares a parking lot with the Outback restaurant next door so parking was a problem. The exit only door didn't shut properly so anyone could gain access to the hotel even without a room key.

There were cigarette butts and an empty corkboard covered in graffiti in the elevator. The mattress was thin and hard and the shower knob was very difficult to pull. The shower head supplied a meager spray.

The amenities consisted of one bottle of shampoo and two small bars of soap. We were only given two small towels. The coffeemaker filter basket was filthy.

The website says there is an outdoor pool but we found out after arriving that the pool is indoors. This could be considered a bonus but we didn't pack swimsuits so it was a disappointment. It was probably a blessing in disguise if their cleanliness standards for the pool were anywhere near those for the rest of the building.

The website said there was a free continental breakfast but the in-room directory made no mention of it. I called the front desk and was given directions to the Breakfast Room. It wasn't worth the effort as the selection was very limited.

We left a tip and a note for the housekeeper asking for more disposable cups and extra towels. When we got back to our room at 8:00 pm, housekeeping hadn't been in. I inquired at the front desk and was told housekeeping only comes when you call or "when you've been there a month". I have never heard of this in all the hotels I've stayed in.

We checked the in-room directory and saw checkout was at noon so we packed up and left right before 12:00 pm. To my partner's surprise, his room key didn't work. He checked at the front desk and was told check-out was at 11:00, not 12:00.

The whole building had the feeling of an inner city tenament. I would never stay there again.

“Dirty, Smelly, and Run down”

Wellesley Inn Danbury

Oct 9, 2006
2/3 found this review helpful

This hotel was booked for me by my parent, thinking it was as nice as the other La Quinta hotels that they have stayed at. Apparently it is was recently bought by them. I stayed here July 2006.

The hotel staff were pleasant and friendly. We were allowed to get our room prior to check in time. The room hallway smelled so bad I literally covered my face with my shirt to breathe. I didn't like the smell of my room either, so I went back to lobby and told them of the bad smells and asked for another room. I was given a new room immediately, which although not perfect in smell, was significantly improved.

I asked for an extra cot, and received one quickly.
I noticed that the door connecting our room to an adjacent room wasn't locked and a key was needed for that, so I called the front desk. Maintenance person came quickly and locked the door.

Room carpeting was stained and overall appearance of room was run down. Hallway carpeting is also dirty.
Overall look of hotel interior is rundown.

When I returned later that night, smell was gone from hallway, so I assume they corrected the problem by putting on the hall a/c and using some type of spray.

I will say that they were very prompt in handling all my requests. The hotel was pretty empty at the time of my arrival. Later that night it looked booked. I'm just glad I checked in first and had an opportunity to check everything out before heading out for the day.

I was not impressed with the free breakfast. I liked that it was free but it was hard for me and my 2 kids to find something we really wanted to eat. I'm probably partially biased because my Dad had stayed at La Quinta before and told me they had a really nice breakfast. His description wasn't what this was!!

Breakfast was as follows:

Fruit: apples and bananas
Bread: bagels, english muffins and bad tasting pastries
Cereal: Frosted Flakes and one other choice
Beverage: coffee, milk, orange juice, tea

This hotel is not a place I would enjoy staying at again.

We needed an economical accomodation and next time, id rather pass. I have stayed at Wellesley Inns before and this one really gave the chain a bad name. It is not clean, their breakfast is nonexistent and the staff is uninterested. Understanding this is a motel, I would recommend, come here and expect to sleep only.

“I had no choice....But to stay here.”

Wellesley Inn Danbury

Jan 19, 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

This is by far the WORST Hotel I have ever stayed in, in my life! The carpet was beyond moldy, walk on this with bare feet and you may end up with fungus. The bathroom was not cleaned, there was HAIR IN THE TUB!!!! GROSS!!! I HAD to stay here because it was the only hotel with availablity and I had no power at my house for hours. In the middle of the night the power went out here also, and they only gave customers a $10 credit...??? There was no heat!!! The only thing that was working was the water... but who is going to shower in the dark..?? I am extremely dissappointed and would not recommend this place. There are other hotels that are much nicer... Like the Courtyard Marriott. The rates are really cheap here @75 per night, that is the only plus.
