Whether you're looking for a venue for a birthday party, a shower, or any gathering that you want to have a wonderful time at, Studio 8 is the perfect spot!

Original review: Everything in these photos was here when we arrived. The room was not only not cleaned but appears to be presently lived in by someone who just wasn't here when they let us book the room online. Asked for a refund but was told morning manager is only one who can approve it, so I asked night manager to call him. He said it's late and he has work in the morning. I said so do I. He said there would not be time to have room cleaned by housekeeping before letting someone else get the room. I said it wasn't cleaned anyway, likely for weeks. This place is a dump and likely a flophouse for drunks and drug addicts. Stay as far away as you can. Hotel's emailed response: I hope this message finds you well. I want to take this opportunity to apologize for your experience at the Hyatt Place Milford/New Haven on June 23, 2026. At the Hyatt Place, we strive to ensure that all our guests are welcomed to a clean and safe environment and we are saddened that was not the case during your stay. Our housekeeping team generally does a good job cleaning the rooms, but I assure you, our management team will do a thorough investigation on this matter to avoid any repeat as we take these cases very seriously. We would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention but also must advise that you did occupy that room for over an hour and items such as soap, towels and the beds were used. Please see attached photos. During your stay, a room change and additional compensation were offered in an effort to address the issue at the time, which were declined. As the room was occupied and used, we are unable to approve a full refund. If you would like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to reach out. We do value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

To begin, Chelsea Jones was our Event Sales Director and she was outstanding. She was always available either by phone call, email or in person. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and always attentive to every detail of our planning....from day 1 many months ago when the process began, to the final big day! Miranda was our Bridal Concierge and she was the very best! She was always one step ahead of us, making sure nothing was forgotten. Friendly and professional, Miranda made our day memorable and easy!

But overall disappointing, I would definitely look elsewhere when planning an important event. I don't know if it was an independent vendor or related to the facility but the sound system seemed to have a problem at the ceremony. The cocktail hour was ok but the dinner was mediocre at best, food portions were minimal and inconsistent. The worst part of the evening was the smug attitude of everyone from wait staff to the bartenders, not very friendly and it made me a little uncomfortable.
