New Cozy 2BR Stay New Haven Close to Yale
Check-in was fine. Once we got in the space was small. The dishes in the kitchen and the bed in the master bedroom were dirty.

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale
Doors were not soft close which meant the entire night doors are slamming shut. Couple that with the fact you can hear the people above you as well (toilets flushing). The service was incredible and the lobby is beautiful, however I would not go back due to those issues

Staff and room was fine. Some of the pillows were a little weird and had some hard spots in them, but overall a good experience.
