New Haven Hotel
The room was super clean and quiet. I also really appreciated that there is a parking garage directly across the street from the hotel on George Street *and* the hotel will comp you if you park there, making parking essentially free. Really convenient. There are also some nice restaurants and cafes ...

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

I had never stayed in a Home2 Suites location, so I had no idea what to expect. The room was spacious and clean. They had a great breakfast buffet area with tasty food options. The beds were super comfortable! I will definitely stay at a Home2 Suites again!
