I liked that it was fairly close to the Yale campus but it really did require taking an Uber at night. Just a nice and clean, simple hotel.

Arif Md Tareque

Disliked: Amenities
The AC works well. However, the rooms are very basic. No dresser/hanger. No toiletries, only a piece of soap bar. Dirty floors, and the room smells very badly. Overall, poor amenities. I did not want to write the negatives, but I think it will help the management. The hotel management can improve this situation if they are willing to with no or a very few fixes/costs.

Clean budget motel

It was clean and fine to sleep, but it smelled way too much like cleaner or air freshener. I had a headache. Other that that, it was what I expected.

Basic but good

This hotel is very bare-bones, but for the price, you can’t beat it! If you just need a place to sleep, this is a place for you.
