I've stayed overnight at The Stamford Hotel before, but this visit was a little different, I only stopped by to celebrate a coworker's birthday while she was enjoying a staycation. The hotel's downtown location is convenient, with plenty of restaurants, shops, nightlife, and the train station all within walking distance. The interior is inviting and the lobby is comfortable. We spent some time there enjoying drinks, and I appreciated that complimentary Wi-Fi. She showed me the indoor pool. While it's a nice amenity to have, I found it pretty mediocre and not much of a standout. Unfortunately, my coworker's stay didn't start off on the best note. The room she was initially given wasn't the room type she had reserved, and even worse, the quilt on the bed had visible blood stains. Thankfully, the staff addressed the situation by moving her to the correct room and providing a complimentary dinner to make up for the inconvenience. It's good to see they took responsibility and tried to make things right, but that's not an issue I'd expect to encounter at a hotel like this. Overall, This Hotel has a convenient location, welcoming lobby, and friendly atmosphere, but hearing about my coworker's experience would make me think twice before booking another stay myself. While the hotel's recovery was appreciated, cleanliness is one area where there really shouldn't be any compromises. read more

Dishonest housekeeping. Stolen items! Be very cautious before staying here, or make sure you lock everything up!

My girlfriend and I had a really great stay in this hotel- it is located continently off of 95, a 5 minute walk from the Downtown area and not too far from to the Stamford train station. The location is really nice because it was really quiet in the hotel, but it is super close to the city. The hotel is affordable yet very clean and in great condition. The rooms are comfortable, kept at a good temperature and the bed was very comfortable for sleeping. They have a pool, which was unfortunately closed for maintenance but will be open soon. They offered us earth-friendly shower products, which was pretty cool. My favorite part though was the bar in the lobby, with extremely friendly staff and great food/drink. My girlfriend and I got the best Shirleys here, with an ice cold glass and west coast style... yummm. We also got a chicken quesadilla with salsa/sour cream and onion rings, really good food. It was nice to sit at the bar and unwind at the end of the day. Overall it was a great stay, and I will definitely look into this hotel when I'm looking to visit the CT/NY area again. Highly recommend! read more

Once a beautiful and modern hotel has suffered from years of neglect and needs a little TLC to breathe some life back into her. Overall the lobby, bar, reception desk, and shop seem to be well maintained. Once up on our floor the vibe was very different, it felt like we were transported back 20-30 years with colors, lightning, and condition of the hallways. In the room it was nicer, more contemporary, but not as updated as other hotels at this price point. They have a power port plugged in on the nightstand between the two queen beds. It served as a place to plugged in our electronics to charge our smart watches, phones, and other devices. The beds were comfortable, the wifi worked well, and there was a mini fridge in the room but no microwave. The bathroom was OK, but the tub didn't drain quickly, there must have been a clog in the line and water backed up and filled the tub during the shower. The furniture throughout the room was a bit battered and worn. The wall paper was peeling here and there on literally every wall, but the room was clean, the bed linens and towels were clean, the hotel maintenance just needs some work and a refresh overall. If you're a guest parking in the garage is validated to be free. The hotel is centrally located and just minutes from lots of food and shopping with an Uber or Lyft. Coffee in the lobby for free from 6am to 9am, not all day and no complimentary breakfast included in your stay. read more

This building has been owned by several hotel chains over the years. IT is far from the fanciest, but it is clean, the staff is friendly and the location is excellent. It is a good value. If you are looking for high end, look elsewhere, but if you just want a safe clean room, this is the place read more

Fantastic hotel! My girlfriend and I were only staying a night but we were incredibly impressed with what we got for what we paid! Pretty typical room but really nice gym/wellness area and walking distance to lots of stuff. We were most impressed with the bar -- the shirley temples were the best we've ever had (we still talk about them) and the quesadilla and onion rings were delicious! Also comes with a huge variety of sauces for your meal. The staff was very kind and we had a great stay! read more

I recently visited the Sheraton Stamford Hotel Restaurant for breakfast with my mother. You don't need to be a guest at the hotel to enjoy breakfast, but there is a cost. I ordered an omelette, which came with sliced potatoes and toast, while my mother ordered pancakes. The breakfast was enjoyable, and the service was excellent; they even provided us with the remote control so we could choose what to watch on the TV. Overall, it was a lovely experience. read more

What a DUMP!!!! I'm currently staying in a room 808 and man this hotel is terrible! The bed looks like it was made in a hurry and had lint covering all the sheets as soon as I came in the room of course I had to clean it! There's holes in the walls with ripping wall paper, the electrical that you charge your phone on is broken loosely hanging on the counter next to my wife's side of the bed and for some reason it's sticky like goo gone was used on it at some point, stains in the carpets and there's more but here's the winner when I was taking a shower this morning I look on the ceiling of the shower and it had hair all on the ceiling there's more I can write but this is pathetic that this complaint is this long DO NOT STAY HERE PLEASE USE ANOTHER HOTEL!!!! read more

I stayed at the Stamford Hotel two separate nights during my recent trip back to Connecticut to see family. I stayed in the accessible room with a walk-in shower. I used the mini fridge, which is hidden under the big television. A microwave would've been nice, but I don't think that they have accessible rooms with them. The little convenience store in the lobby came in handy. They sell protein bars, cold brew coffee, candy, and travel-sized toiletries. I didn't eat at the restaurant, but the food smelled good. They do not have room service, for which I'm deducting a star. I ordered delivery via an app so that I could chill in my room in my pajamas while eating. Front desk staff were friendly and professional. The view from my room was epic. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. I slept well. read more

I've stayed at The Stamford several times and it's always a great experience. The location is convenient--right off the freeway and close to shopping and restaurants. The on-site restaurant is fantastic (the burger and fries are a must!). Rooms are clean, large, and comfortable. The staff is always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. You can tell the family owners take pride in the property, even showcasing their future plans. A true gem in Stamford! read more

Second stay at this Stamford hotel and we had a great experience. I love the location-which is out of the direct hustle and bustle, yet within walking distance of so many restaurants, shops, and other interests. Hotel is quiet and peaceful, with huge lobby area to meet up, use computers or just relax. Also a bar for drinks or snacks/pizza. The parking area is adjacent to hotel in covered garage. The room and bathroom were roomy and extremely clean. The King bed was very comfortable. Breakfast and parking were included this visit which was an added plus and made our lives much easier. Check in and out were quick and easy and staff was friendly and professional. We will definitely return and do recommend. read more

When coming into Stamford, it was recommended that I stay at this hotel since it was "new". Having seen what the inside of the hotel itself and based upon my room, they missed a lot of things when they "upgraded". And by a lot of things, I mean everything. When I checked in, I asked for a foam pillow because I am allergic to down pillows. The lady checking me in looks confused and said she'll send someone up to help me. More on that later. I walk into my room and immediately hear the creaks of the floor and can feel the tiles are loose and popping up. I took a video of the sound but am unable to load for some reason. I guess on the positive note I can hear someone break in during the night?? I'm in the room for 10 minutes, changed my clothes to take a quick nap when I hear someone trying to walk into my room they keep pounding and pushing on the door. I quickly put clothes back on and rush to the door and tell them to stop. Looking through the peephole, I noticed it's an employee of the hotel. He finally stops trying to get the door open, and I go ahead and open it up. After zero apologies, he said he's here to check my pillows and tries to walk past me into my room. Excuse me! Two more employees show up and they are confused on what a down vs foam pillow is. They ask me to bring them a pillow and then say they'll be back when they find something. Feeling frustrated and angry at the situation, I go to the phone to contact the front desk. But oh, my phone isn't connected to anything....at all. Welp, guess I have to google and call on my cell phone, which I did. Told the lady at the front desk what happened (no apologies again) and asked if there was a Do Not Disturb sign to use since there wasn't one in the room. She said all they had was a sign that said pets were in the room, which employees will "tend to stay out of." The employees come back with the foam pillow, and I swear by the smell this had to have been in the darkest corners of the hotel for years. It was vile. I tossed it aside and ended up using my clothing as a pillow during my day. One cute thing, when trying to get to the hair dryer in the bathroom, the drawers did not have any knobs. So that was fun to deal with as well. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

My family and I stay here all the time when we are visiting family. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

BED BUGS!!! DO NOT STAY HERE. One of the beds in my room was CRAWLING with bed bugs as soon as the lights went out. They bit me within minutes, were on my child, and crawled on her stuffed animal. Absolutely horrible and traumatizing, not to mention time consuming to deal with the fallout, sleep deprivation and sanitizing process after we left. Additionally, I booked through an online service (Booking.com). The hotel manager assured me ALL of the money would be refunded to me when I left, but that has not happened, and now they are trying to deny it. The room was also dated, musty and the shower was dirty. The pool was out of service which they did not let us know in advance, and the parking limit for the garage was so low I had to find street parking. Did I mention the BED BUGS?????? I could not possible by more disappointed and disgusted with my experience here. Go ANYWHERE else. read more

Terrific location. Friendly staff. Dishonest charges! We had a nice one-night stay. Loved the pet-friendly hotel option. I did pay for a KING suite on my hotel.com app but upon arrival (and because of the pet) that level was not available, so we were put in a "Wellbeing room", but I did not receive a refund for the difference on that... So, I paid for the KING suite and got the well-being suite, whatever. It was still nice. Some painting chips on the walls and some nail holes etc. but I am not picky, and it was a nice room. Upon using the entryway bathroom, I flushed the toilet and the wall decor behind the toilet fell and shattered to the floor. I cleaned up and reported the incident immediately... Well, I found out today (3 days later) that I was charged $100 for this incident! I called the hotel to ask about this $100 charge... Upon checkout, I was not informed of this charge. I did everything in my power to ensure it was cleaned up and that the correct staff was informed of the incident as soon as it occurred. I am appalled that I am being blamed and charged for this, yet I was the one that got a cut on my arm, and I also did my best to clean up the mess... they didn't send housekeeping to help clean up when I called or ask if I was hurt. Please Check your wall decor so this doesn't happen to another guest. (Others aren't even as understanding as I am). read more

Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...I am attending a conference and this hotel was the overflow hotel, hence not my first choice. The hotel is older which can be tell by the old and broken furniture. While I just needed a room to sleep in it worked for my needs. However I was rudely surprised when I woke up to NO HOT WATER. I called the front desk to report it just to be asked "if I let the water run first?" Clearly if I am calling them I had to have let the water run prompting me to inquire what they thought was an appropriate time to let it run before realizing the water is not working...15 minutes? 30 minutes? I ended up having to take a COLD shower because engineering was not starting until 7am. It's now 7:30am and nobody has come to address the issue. This is truly frustrating and I am telling you if all possible stay clear of this hotel! Next year's conference will not catch me here. I must say the friendliest staff here were the staff at the restaurant as they were friendly, courteous and no attitude. UPDATE: Spoke to manager and was informed the boiler shut down automatically resulting in the cold water. For my troubles of having to take a cold shower, my accommodation was a free breakfast. The conference I am attending provides us with a free breakfast so I guess my accommodation is zero! read more

My daughter and I got a room here overnight for May 16-17th. We got in after dark. Everything looked nice and the beds seemed comfy. But when we turned on the bathroom light, the one in the ceiling was strobing off and on...rather annoying. We called the front desk because the TV was not connecting to the service and someone was sent up to correct that. Then we showed him the strobing light and he went and came back with a new lightbulb, which did the same thing! So he just left it unscrewed and said it needed fixing. There was also back lighting around a large wall mirror in the bathroom, and that was enough for us. SO...after 2 toilet flushes...dirty water came up in the bathtub! Ug! It came up a bit then went down. No way were we going to take a shower in there! The next morning, I at least wanted to wash my hair, and had to bend over the tub to do that. When I pulled the provided hair-dryer out of the bag it was in, I saw and felt that it was covered all over with sticky gel or hairspray! Yuck. So now I couldn't even dry my hair. I took it down to the front desk and showed them. I said I had never seen such a disgusting hairdryer, even at a thrift store! They asked if I wanted another sent to my room, I said yes, but one never came. I also told them about the backed up tub. They asked if we called for service. No, because, neither of us wanted some plumbers in our room and there was no way we were stepping in that tub, anyway. On top of all this, there is a small fridge in the room, whose motor kept switching on and off every 15 mintues all night, keeping me awake till almost 3am. We felt the hotel owned us a good refund for non-use issues, but not only were the managers hard to get a hold of for 3 days, when contact was made, they only gave us a rather small refund. Issues: couldn't take showers, kept awake by fridge half the night, disgusting dirty "free" hair dryer. At lease the beds were comfortable. Won't be staying here again. read more

The rooms are old and dated. Common areas are also dated. Hallways actually look dirty. Wall paper needs replacing as well as the carpet. They do not offer breakfast during the week. When the weather is bad this isn't a good pick. They do not offer transportation to or from the airport. read more

Do NOT stay at this hotel. Just don't. It's old and mildewy. The room smelled like Clorox. The alarm clock wasn't working and neither was one of my bedside lamps. But what took the cake was that the AC was not working and it was almost 80 degrees in the room. A lovely electrician come over to fix the unit, but it only worked for one hour and broke down again. Called the operator and she told me she'd send the electrician again. I couldn't take the stuffiness and heat anymore and went downstairs to ask in person for a new room. (Honestly, management -- next time just offer your guest a change of room right away. Guests should not have to wait around for you to sort out your basic amenities.) This place is awful. If you just want to spend a peaceful night somewhere, just check yourself into the Marriott or Hilton nearby. read more

Location is the best attribute to this dated place. Convenient walking distance to everything important is another plus. Just get your room on the opposite side of the fire station, which will wake you up from time to time. Parking is charged daily, $20, not attractive, leave your car at home. This hotel left a lot to be desired with room quality and cleanliness, especially for the high cost. The building rooms are showing their age for sure, as this was once Sheraton. But nice city views and downstairs venues will keep you mind off the substandard rooms. Marriot and Hilton still are a "better bang for your buck." And keep those shoes on in the room. read more

I stayed at The Stamford Hotel recently and left with BEDBUG bites! I stayed for 2 nights. I initially thought I was bit by a spider. I was incorrect to say the least. I informed the front desk representative and she informed me there wasn't a manager on duty at the time (around 7:30am) but she took my cell number and said the manager would call me since I was checking out. Manager called and said she had Never had a complaint like this before. (Which I highly doubt) I checked out on 3.7.24. After speaking with the Manager once, I haven't received a follow up call. My organization had reservations booked for my entire team (9 ppl). Those reservations were either booked for the wrong month OR not found in their system. If my organization books this place again, Im staying else where. read more

Let me start off with the hotel seemed nice and spacious. The room seemed clean a few noticeable things that were damaged due to suitcases or such but no bid deal. There were signs that stated they sanitized certain things that were more frequently touched or used which is nice. I still like to wipe things down just in case. The lobby had lots of room and the high ceilings were very nice to look at and let in lots of light. Now with all that said the parking situation in their garage was a bit annoying since I needed to pay every night for it and keep a ticket to go in and out. There must have been some kind of dance competition going on from what I noticed with loud children but worse the parents who were even louder. To the point that they were talking loudly in the halls late at night and running up and down the hallway making all kinds of noises till well after 2:00am. This happened on multiple nights. My suggestion to the hotel next time give them their own floor or section away from other guests to provide adequate space incase their home training isn't up to being considerate of other guests. The hotel is pet friendly and I don't mind that what I do mind is that your pet should not be up barking or making all kinds of noise to disturb other guests. Again some small considerations for other guests. The pool did seem like a nice idea one day when I got back early but it was extremely cloudy water and looked dirty not inviting at all I'm not sure if this was a maintenance thing but definitely needed attention. In all the hotel has the ability to be better it seems they are trying at certain things but a lot has been missed I hime the manager reads this and takes a few notes on how to improve some areas that are important. read more

So, If I could give a negative number I would. The staff was nice but the hotel is run down, dirty, and outdated. The furniture in the rooms is beaten up, watermarks on the ceiling from previous leaks, burn marks on the carpets, wallpaper coming off the walls, broken tiles in the bathroom, and watermarks on multiple walls. Breakfast is expensive and NOT good, I would argue unedible. The breakfast and bar area was dirty, the floors were sticky, the tables were not clean and the coffee was coffee-flavored water. I wonder if the hotel is for sale and the current ownership group is going to demo it? Most of the lamps were unplugged when we checked in, tried to call the front desk and the phone recording said this number could not be reached. The pool area has a massive echo. I provide this feedback for anyone coming and hopefully, the hotel staff can make some adjustments. Thank you, read more

This hotel I wouldn't recommend African American or people of COLOR! You run into real racism, where you walk in a room people are uncomfortable and it shows, the hotel told us a different time for the pool closing, whole time pool stayed open later, they gave me the wrong room, then sold out of the room " I paid extra money for " they accommodated us with two extra breakfast and free parking to make up the difference but then the breakfast did not make sense, they are over priced and not worth a regular night just to relax, fir the amount of money you spend here, you can definitely find better, it's nice for going to the bar and lounging but other then that, I wouldn't really recommend read more

We recently stayed at The Stamford Hotel. Everyone we met from the front desk staff, to the bartender was very friendly and genuinely wanted to make our experience a good one. We sat at the bar one night and ordered food. It was excellent, as well as the drinks. The second night we ate at a table and again the service was top notch. We enjoyed breakfast every morning from the sundry shop. Breakfast sandwiches we heated for us and the were very good and priced right.
