Great stay-Very happy! The outside was a little scary, looked like an old-school motel and belied what the room would be like. They had contact-less check in which worked fine, you call when you get there and they talk you through getting into your room but also offered check-in at the desk if you preferred. The room was obviously very recently re-done and everything was brand new. Tasteful renovation and top of the line everything. Clean and bug-free. A little on the smallish side but comfortable. Very comfortable thick mattress, great pillows and nice linens. Aveda products in the bathroom along with Moen fixtures. New A/C unit. Flat screen TV in the room but only basic cable. Keurig coffee-maker in-room with supplies. Refrigerator with room for your stuff.

A very nice gem located in CT. There for a weekend and love the feel of the room. Inviting, clean and super quiet. Enjoyed our stay very much.

See all

After living in New Haven for 5 years and seeing the transformation of this building into the…read morebeautiful space it is now, it was fun to come back as a tourist to stay at the Hotel Marcel. For years, this was just the big brutalist building in the IKEA parking lot, but they've put so much work into making this a gorgeous hotel with comfortable amenities and retro design. The switches to manipulate the blinds were cool and I liked that there were different settings for different times of day. I appreciated the abundant free parking as well. This seemed to be a pretty busy conference / corporate hotel which is not surprising but we definitely didn't feel like an afterthought. The staff were friendly and checked in throughout our stay. I also loved the commitment to sustainability throughout the hotel (e.g., reusable bottles, wooden reusable key cards, energy efficient lighting).

Stayed here for our one night in New Haven. Only about 1.5 miles from Wooster Street. This place…read morewas "funky" in a good way! The actual building is an architectural sight to see. I heard it was an old Ikea office building, and then Hilton turned it into a hotel. Staff was really friendly at check in and every time we saw them. Beds were low to the ground and comfy. Very modern hotel. Switches to lower the blinds and curtains etc. They even give you a wooden room key which was neat! Free parking, too! Can't beat that! Would definitely stay here again if in New Haven. I loved this hotel!

Stayed here to celebrate an anniversary and we adored it. There are A LOT of patterns but somehow…read morethey all work. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downsides were that all the seating areas around the lobby and the coffee shop were consistently full of college students studying making it hard to find a place to sit outside our room, and the pizza phone was not actually a thing it was just a photo op. You can still get door-dash pizza delivered but it isn't hot and fresh. We will stay again!

It is very hard to rate it here. If I were staying for 1 night and got a great rate, I'd probably…read moregive it 4 stars. And I more or less enjoyed staying here for a few days. But I have to warn folks off if they're planning to stay longer or expect more space. Plusses: --employees are super nice. Jaimie was very kind when I arrived carsick and a little dizzy! --cafe in the lobby is great for breakfast --rooms are QUIET (at least in the summer) and clean --the bed was extremely comfortable. So I slept well. Hooray! --location: very convenient for Yale --Bathroom was nicely sized and stylish. Now the Minuses: --OMG, other than the bathroom, my room was TINY. The Hilton name & the website makes the rooms look very fancy - but it's an old small hotel renovated to look cute & instagrammable. So there was barely room in the room for me let alone my suitcase. No room for a dresser. No room on the floor to stretch or do exercises. I was supposed to be here for work for 2 weeks - I got a fabulous rate and it was going to be about the same as an AirBnB (but as "a Hilton", it sounded nicer). But I could not unpack in this room - and I had no breathing room. So I arranged to check out after 5 nights and move to a more spacious hotel. --Also: coffee in the room? Instant. But there was no room really for a coffee pot, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I would still give 4 stars with those caveats - except that sometimes the rate here is $400. I want to make sure people know what they would be getting for that! I slept really well and it was easy to get to meetings - but if I'd known, I would have stayed elsewhere for that amount. I was grateful to get to switch to the Blake later in the week, which was a lot roomier and modern. Hope that's helpful to anyone deciding where to stay!!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The front desk staff when I checked in were exceptionally…read morekind, telling me how long it would take me to walk to my interview and pre interview dinner as well as telling me that it was safe to walk. The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. It was quite despite being in a busy road and had a white noise machine at the bedside. The gym was very nice, with a peloton bike you could log into. The location was great for anyone needing to be around Yale or Yale Hospital. Only reason for docking a star is because some of the bathroom hardware (toilet paper holder and handle to enter the shower) were broken or loose.

First off, there's no free breakfast. We have never been to a Marriott where a free breakfast was…read morenot offered. so that was a disappointment and an inconvenience. All staff were incredibly nice and did try to solve all of the issues that we had. First room they sent us to reeked of smoke. We literally opened the door and then walked right back out to the front desk. It was terrible. In our 2nd room the tv was broken, maintenance could not fix it so they offered to move us to another room. At this point, we had already unpacked and we were staying for a week so we decided just to stay in the room with no TV. They offered us one free breakfast for the inconvenience. Since the breakfast there is not free. I went to use our free coupon for the breakfast and we were limited with the choices if we had a coupon. If we were just out right paying for breakfast, there were more options but not for the free breakfast with the ticket that we got for the inconvenience. There is no microwave in the room. The bathroom and coffee bar area are very small. Our last night there the AC kept switching itself over to heat. The maintenance guy came and tried to fix it, but he could not. So at that point we had to pack everything up and move to another room at like 1 o'clock in the morning.

This time it was for a smaller group event so the package wasn't as big. They did have some new things this year like a warrior course and extra bounce houses but it used to have horses I'm sad that those are gone. The bathrooms are in desperate need of updates the toilets are really crooked in all of the stalls there are notices to use paper towels on the walls yet they don't have paper towel holders. The donuts and muffins for breakfast we're not very good. The taco bar was delicious we got burgers hot dogs and a small buffet of chicken corn and coleslaw and potato salad they still have the ice cream truck where you can get unlimited ice cream and cotton candy and popcorn which are my favorite parts of Holiday Hill they have paddle boats and kayaks two pools those changing rooms need to be updated as well. There's a bunch of abandoned buildings on property that I believe used to have something to do with a camp. They have a lot of sport activities like ping Pong volleyball basketball tennis and mini golf. One of the mini golf holes is clogged and doesn't let the ball go through into the other spot like it's supposed to. It's nice for an outing but it definitely needs a lot of updates.

So first let me explain that the 3/5 is when you compare this hotel to ALL hotels. However, if you…read moreare realistic and realize going into the experience, that you chose a low budget hotel, I'd actually take it to a 4/5. My husband and I decided to get in the car in PA and just scoot up the coast on our way to Boston. We decided to take our first pit stop here in New Haven because we thought it would be fun to check out Yale, and it was already dark when we got into town. I'm sure you found very quickly that hotels more in town are $250-$300, so this hotel coming in around $120 (after taxes and fees) was what we were looking for when really we just needed a bed and shower. Staff- we didn't come across an angry/unpleasant soul while we were here. In fact, I give them props as they were fielding calls left and right because their satellite cable was out due to a crazy thunderstorm (I'm talking multiple emergency alerts blasting from our phones), and they were always nice, calm, and apologetic. Rooms- when you walk into the lobby you get a little sneak peak at what your room is going to expect all over the hotel. The carpet is extremely dated, stained, pieced together, or buckling almost everywhere. But again, I had some level of expectation for this at this price. I was pleasantly surprised getting into my room. Sheets were clean and nicely done up. Towels seemed clean and arranged nicely. Could the room and bathroom use a solid make-over, sure. But I slept well and the water pressure was very nice. No bugs. No left over hair from previous guests. There was a desk, microwaves, and fridge in the room had we needed it. Our room looked out over the water, but with that came a highway (picture included). Again, very pleasantly surprised that we didn't hear the traffic at all. Bonuses - they have a FREE shuttle to the surrounding areas which is really nice since it seemed parking could be a bit of an issue. Looked like it was just all metered parking, so I imagine that can get expensive quickly. - they have FREE breakfast. Granted your looking at your standard carb breakfast, but who can resist a hotel waffle...not this girl. - they had a pool and workout center (like three pieces of machinery, nothing crazy). - connected to a restaurant that seemed like they had pretty decent happy hour food and drink deals. - literally right next to Ikea (picture included). All in all- if you're just looking for a quick stop over while traveling through, I'd say go for it. If you're looking for a luxurious hotel to pamper yourself in...maybe keep looking.

We stopped here overnight to break up a Virginia-to-Maine road trip with our three kids and our…read moregolden retriever puppy. Pet-friendly options in the area were limited, which is the only reason we chose this property -- and I regret it. Problems started immediately. Only one elevator was working for the entire building, which meant long waits with luggage, kids, and a dog. The room itself was worse: urine all over the bathroom, black mold growing on the AC unit, and a pull-out couch that is effectively decorative -- it can't fully extend in a room with two beds, so the advertised sleeping space doesn't actually exist. We couldn't get the issues resolved with housekeeping directly, so we had to haul everyone back downstairs to the front desk. They asked us to leave the room while it was re-cleaned, so we went to dinner and hoped the rest of the stay would go smoother. It didn't. The next morning around 9am, we stepped out of the room and the door locked behind us -- our keys no longer worked, with all of our belongings still inside. Managing a lockout with three kids and a puppy, funneling everyone through a single working elevator, was genuinely stressful. When I asked a maintenance worker in the elevator for help, he told me it wasn't his problem -- and then called me a bitch. A hotel employee, on the clock, cursing at a guest who asked for help. The front desk was the final straw. Instead of apologizing or resolving the lockout, they were indifferent and took the employee's side. We had a reservation here for our return trip and have already cancelled it. If you're traveling with kids or pets and need a reliable overnight stop, look elsewhere. I would avoid this hotel at all costs.
