Top Clinton Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 New Haven - Branford, CT

2/10 Terrible

"I think they may be housing homeless out of the unoccupied rooms. I have never had a hotel experience quite like it. It said it was smoke free but clearly had been smoked in throughout the entire property. I will say I was relieved that the floor were hard wood/laminate, but even so I would not have considered walking on them without shoes."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Haven

6/10 Okay

"Our room was clean, which is about the only positive I can say. The neighborhood is very industrial, sometimes scary. The hotel is right next to a cannabis facility. One of the elevators didn't work the whole weekend. The wait was about 8 minutes in the morning to try to get to the lobby with the one existing elevator The advertised pool has been filled in. Our blinds were broken and didn't roll down. The tv didn't work, and we were told there was nothing that could be done. The bathroom had a huge chip in the vanity. The shower continually switched back to running bath water. Breakfast was available, but abysmal. The entire facility needs an update inside. The bottom floor has been done and is very nice, but the rest of the facility is in pretty rough shape."

North Fork Resort

8/10 Good

"Very nice place, overall. New and new construction nearby (dust); they’re still ironing-out some kinks, but cute cottages, clean, nicely styled and furnished with great outdoor amenities. Staff are friendly and welcoming, but still getting into a groove. Once the final details are squared-away, will be Excellent!"

Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

2/10 Terrible

"Def not up to the Marriott Bonvoy brand. These aren’t cabins - they’re tiny homes/mobile homes. They are super small. Mine didn’t have AC and it was a hot muggy weekend. In town for a funeral and the room has no hair dryer, no mirror - at all nevermind a full length, no closet and no bathroom sink, - you have to use the mini kitchen sink. The bathroom was a plastic insert like a bad motel. Unless you really want to camp I would not recommend. Looks cute but was a challenge for someone attending an event. We also had to beg for an extra hour of late checkout despite two of us being longtime Bonvoy members. Just not a great frequent traveler experience."

Clarion Inn North Haven - New Haven North

4/10 Poor

"Hallways had dirty carpets and in dire need of replacemant. Smelled damp. Room needed an upgrade. Old wallpaper, carpet, drapery etc. Doorways leading to outside were filthy, doors and glass were filthy with fingerprints. Would definitely not recommend or stay here again. Being under the Clarion name this hotel was a great dissapointment."

New Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is centrally located to Yale, Toads for concerts, is close to highway and train station. Great restaurants within a short walk. One recommendation would be a locked entry from the parking garage as there is direct access to the hotel room floors. The garage is also gated, but the added layer would have made me feel more secure. Overall, great stay and I’d definitely come back!"

The Pridwin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely enchanting long weekend at the Pridwin. This beautifully appointed property exudes timeless elegance, with thoughtful touches that made us feel truly pampered from the moment the staff reached out to us long before our stay. The complimentary breakfast, in-room snacks and drinks, outdoor fire pits with rocking chairs, and cozy nights spent by the fireplace with bar service turned our visit into a heartfelt home away from home — far warmer and more inviting than any sterile hotel experience. The outdoor heated pool was simply divine, backed by attentive and friendly service that made every swim a pleasure. Shelter Island offers the perfect backdrop for adventure and relaxation — exploring nearby vineyards to the north, or heading south by ferry to Sag Harbor and the broader Hamptons — all while knowing you can retreat each evening to this quiet, serene haven. A special shoutout to Tony, the bartender, whose genuine warmth and friendliness made us feel so welcome every time we crossed paths. Not to mention, he crafts exquisite cocktails and martinis that truly elevated our evenings."
