Hotel backs up to an Amtrak track and trains run late and early. Not sure what was happening but it sounded like they were moving a delivery at 3-4am. A lot of noise. Bathroom was dirty. The door was covered in hard dirt. Staff was nice but will not be returning

Rooms were not cleaned in time for check in which is after 3:00. We arrived at 4:30 to check in. Staff were literally hanging around the check in desk while we arrived, told us that they were understaffed and could we come back in at least an hour to check in. I then asked to get a discount on the room because nothing was ready according to them, and the front desk then called a manager over the phone to relay my request, which did not happen. However within 30 seconds of that phone call, the rooms MIRACULOUSLY were cleaned and were released. Both my husband and I felt as if the front desk approach was unprofessional. They in fact stated "it's not our fault that the rooms are cleaned in time". We arrived to our room and it smelled as if it wasn't vacuumed , but my husband was so tired from our travels that he didn't care to make another fuss to change rooms. On a positive note, the bed and bedding were very comfortable.

I was disappointed to discover that the queen bed I paid for was actually a full-size bed, resulting in an uncomfortable sleeping experience for both nights. Despite my inquiry, the front desk insisted it was a queen bed, which I strongly disagree with. Furthermore, the bed itself was uncomfortable, and the pool appeared murky and unclean, which deterred us from using it. The room's appearance also differed significantly from the pictures, being much smaller, and the WiFi was not functional on the first night. Considering the $250 price tag for two nights, I was underwhelmed and will not be returning. In comparison, I found the Motel 6 in Branford to be superior, despite being more budget-friendly. I would give this establishment two stars, primarily due to the complimentary breakfast. However, the staff was lovely and courteous.

Employees friendly and courteous. This property needs an all around upgrade. Room 184 torn, ripped curtains, tub area needs to be replaced or cleaned more throughly, could use fresh paint, air fresheners, stale oder, no bath room toiletries supplied. Complimentary breakfast was great.

Unfortunately we had hoped the converted Best Western plus to Clarion would have gotten even better than it was. No improvements. The room wasn’t heated when we arrived, no bath mat, no shampoo, no shower soap and this time the train outside our window was more annoying than we remembered. Probably won’t go back after many stays there.

Stayed here one night. It was suitable for what we needed though put in a wheel chair accessible room for some reason. The price is a little high for condition of property which I agree with other reviews- could use a refresh.

Checked into room which was a pleasant experience the lady at the desk was very nice. Dropped bags off in room. When coming back to the room we were not able to get in. Key didn’t work because the box on the door was dead. Staff at front desk tried to charge the key pad but that did not work. I was told that I had to wait until morning when management came in to get my things because there was no other access to get in room. She said she tried to call someone but they didn’t answer and because the next day was Saturday I would have to wait longer for someone to come in to open the door. There’s no excuse for this kind of service and that there is no other way to get into their rooms. I am beyond pissed off for the way this is being handled.

Bathroom had hair on shower wall, shower curtain had stains on it, and I noticed hair in bed. A spot of mildew in bathroom as well (room 187). Almost slipped going down the pool steps (even holding handle). Not enough grip on tile surface. Went to get orange juice for breakfast. Was told, all out of juice. Only water available. Not recommended.
