4/4 found this review helpful

Not much to look at from the outside, but it's very convenient to get to, right off the highway, and once inside all is fine.

Not much in the way of views unless you are on a high floor overlooking Long Island Sound.

Room was spacious and clean. I arrived early and the room wasn't ready, they don't guarantee arrivals before 3:00.

The continental breakfast had lots of choices, from bagels and toast to cereal and homemade waffles you make yourself. They even had Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches you could microwave.

Small but ok workout room with two tv's and a small pool in back that nobody seemed to be using. Ice and drink machines are not located on every floor so you have to ride the elevator to get what you want.

The folks were friendly, there's free wireless Internet and a computer hooked up to the Internet in the lobby for public use.

Didn't try the restaurant attached but got takeout pizza from the Italian restaurant in the same parking lot. Not Wooster Street but it was fine.

Overall a good choice if you're checking out the sights. I was here for Pilot Pen tennis which is only about 3 miles from the hotel, an easy drive.

5/5 found this review helpful

This is a clean comfortable place to be. It is conveniently located right off the I95, right next to the big blue IKEA store. There is a Bank of America nearby. There is an Italian restaurant nearby and an on site nonsmoking restaurant (didn't check out).

Clean rooms with nice decorating. Nice work desk. Free internet access in rooms. Free breakfast with waffles (delicious).

Pool is clean. Good workout room (treadmill, ellipical trainer, bike). Staff is friendly and attentive. No problems here. I would definitely stay here again.

“Served its purpose”

7/7 found this review helpful

We live about an hour north of New Haven and needed to be at the hospital for a 7 a.m. procedure, and rather than fight the I-95 rush hour traffic decided to spend the night in the New Haven area. The Fairfield Inn served its purpose, it was the cheapest decent-seeming lodging in the New Haven area. To be honest, we booked it on the basis of the Marriott corporate name, because while we've sometimes found Marriott-branded properties to be a bit disappointing we've never found them to be unsafe or dirty.

We were amused to find that we had actually eaten once before in the restaurant attached to the hotel while on a furniture shopping trip to the nearby IKEA.

We were only here for about ten and a half hours. Room was clean, tastefully decorated and appointed. Other reviewers wrote that the rooms were "spacious" but I found it actually to be a bit small and the bathroom downright cramped. Having to go to different floors to buy soda and snacks from the various vending machines was inconvenient. View from the window of a massive field of warehouses was uninspiring. But the location was convenient, the room was clean and comfortable, and we were less than ten minutes from the hospital. I don't really think the room was worth $120/night but all the other reasonable seeming options were even more expensive. We would probably stay here again if we had to make another trip under similar circumstances.

6/7 found this review helpful

Basic budget hotel, clean, but passed it's prime...everything looks like its been through the laundry one too many times. Internet connection slow as death pretty much kills it for me as a business hotel. Very limited nearby services (you're on a highway access road, so some noise too)

“Nice Hotel in New Haven”

La Quinta Inn & Suites New Haven

Jan 5, 2006
5/6 found this review helpful

We stayed in a room with a whirlpool spa tub. The room was clean, and the decor was nice. Plus, there were free internet access and free breakfast. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The continental breakfast was excellent and coffee was available all day. The location was right off the highway. It was next to the Ikea, and only couple minutes drive away from Yale University. I highly recommend you to stay at the Fairfield Inn if you ever go to New Haven =)
