Very nice hotel. Lobby was very nice and room was great for the price. The location was nice and I was happy with my stay. Staff was nice, would stay there again.

Of course, the room is up to standards, but this hotel does not offer room service, and when I called the front desk to ask about this, they stated that room service was not available and then hung up on me. I believe I paid too much money to be hung up on by the front desk.

I stayed for one night at the Courtyard and had a pleasant stay. The room was standard, if slightly small. Parking was quite expensive (13$ with taxes) but is limited in the area so this may be typical. The upside is that the hotel allowed me to keep my car in their lot even after checkout while I interviewed at Yale. They also paid for my cab fare to the interview site.They appear to be doing renovations to the outside areas and some of the rooms, which caused some noise and debris. Overall, a stay that met my expectations, but did not exceed.

A very short walk to Yale, this is a decent, but not great hotel. Staff was very friendly, room was ship-shape, but there seemed to be a need for greater soundproofing. I set a wake up call for early and could then hear a neighbor snoring! Not loudly, but still....

There aren't many decent places to stay in walking distance of Yale. My understanding is that the Omni is very nice, but it is also considerably more expensive than the Courtyard. Assuming another trip to New Haven and assuming I'm footing the bill, I'd probably stay at the Courtyard again.

Another reviewer mentioned that the hotel was on the cusp of a neighborhood change. Admittedly I could see no reason to walk that way, but felt very safe at night near the hotel walking Yale-ward. Indeed, there are many moderately priced eateries nearby (remember, those student budgets).
