Clarion Hotel & Suites Hamden-New Haven

Negatives: if you're not aware the curtains are open, people walking by can see in the room from the hallway.

Negatives: Bed was a bit hard, toilet took several flushes, breakfast was crowded and eggs were cold.

Negatives: The rooms look antiquated and the basic necessities such as a room phone was not working.

Negatives: This place was a dump. We paid $200/ night for a $50/ night hotel. It was dated, carpets should have been replaced 2 years ago, you could smell weed when walking through the hallway to find our room, ice maker on second floor didn't work. They say it's a 4-story hotel, it's really a 2-story motel that they closed in, so the ice maker is on the second floor that they call the 4th floor. Bedroom door had huge gaps around it, could see light under it, cracked tile in shower where someone did a shoddy job installing shower rod, phone in room was disgusting (dirty, don't think it can even be properly cleaned, should just be replaced), the pages in the binder in the room with info on local places were all stuck together, every lamp shade had holes in them, sheets were stained, only one thin blanket on bed and no bedspread (blanket was between two flat sheets), there was no staff in the breakfast area to replenish or tidy up, so you had to sit at tables where strangers had just eaten, there were random plastic forks on the floor that kept getting kicked around every time a new guest came in, etc. the eggs were gross microwaved circle-shaped eggs, the only cups they had for the coffee were the size of a Dixie cup, they didn't have napkins but instead had stacks of paper towels, like the rough-textured ones they put in dispensers in public restrooms. We found this place on booking.com by searching for hotels with breakfast in Hamden, CT. Never again.

Negatives: All the rooms faced the hallway, so if you opened the window drapes, anyone walking by could see into your room, so you would never open them up, so no natural light. I would never recommend this hotel.

Negatives: See above.

Negatives: This place is for Section 8 short stay people without homes. Filthy, smelly, seedy characters barbequing in the parking lot. This Company Booking.Com and Clarion made an unfathomable situation worse (if that is at all possible). Absolutely discussed. Will make sure to go on any and all social media to advise others, so to spare them being put in this highly unsafe and unfavorable conditions.

Negatives: Beds uncomfortable, room dirty, toilet paper holder falling off the wall
