Great experience!

Best hotel we've stayed at in Branford. We grew up there and attend family events at least once a ttyear or more. We've tried other hotels but none came close! Room was updated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Amazingly clean and welcoming. Staff was great. We'll stay again!

Ehh. Safe if you need a place to stop on 95

My room was facing west towards a car dealership with bright lights, there were no curtains on the window, and the lights reflected off a mirror on the other wall. The bed was comfortable, but I didn't get to sleep in even if I wanted to because there was no curtain on the window. In the morning, hallway noise was audible and I could hear the 95 even thought its not close.. won't stay again.
