Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 1, 2009

I thought I was getting a very good deal for the price I paid but now I understand why the price was so cheap. I booked the hotel for Halloween night and it met all the expectations for a scary night. The hotel looked run down, the carpets desperately need to be replaced and there was a strange smell all around. Upon entering the room I was greeted by dry pee all over the toilet. The overall cleanliness of the room was awful. I was scared to even place my clothing and bag on the bed. I ended up attending the wedding I was in town for and then packed up my stuff and drove 3 hours home in the middle of the night. There was no way I could have stayed in the hotel. I've traveled all over the world and I've stayed in a variety of hotels and even motels but this was by far the worst! Scary is the only way to describe it.

Bathroom was not impressive!! Hairdryer holder on wall looked like it had not been cleaned off in a week! Hair on floor and in Tub. Toilet was a bit on the rocky side. Not enough towels folded up and ready for use and one out of the two had stains on it. Beds were fairly comfortable and location of hotel was great! Customer service could have been friendlier by the check out staff.

Reviewed by A of Far Rockaway on Jul 31, 2009

For the price paid the hotel was acceptable. It can improve if it had more garbage cans to dispose extra garbage. We needed extra towels and they told us to use the ones in the pool. We noticed families that looked like they were placed for shelter, we can be wrong. The restaurants around the hotel were great and the minature golf was a plus and affordable! The indoor pool was very warm but still our children loved it! The I-95 was around the corner so it was accesible to go anywhere. We like it there but i know for a better price we can get a better hotel. THANKS! ALM

The staff were very nice but the motel itself needs some improvement but as always, you get what you pay for and the price was reasonable compared to others. The first night we were without power all night due to a storm, no air conditioning and by 4 a.m. I could not breathe. Did they ever hear of a generator? Very inconvenient no matter what you pay.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 29, 2009

For the amount I paid for the hotel I kinda knew what I was getting into. Nothing was particularly nice about the place. I checked in late (about 1:30 am) and the staff was friendly even then. The staff later the next day was also friendly. The hotel definitely has a strange smell all around and the elevator smelled like urine. I'd recommend taking the stairs. The room itself was ok. Everything was just minimum quality. The desk clerk asked if I needed a wake up call when i checked in. I realized why he asked when i got to the room there was no clock... If you need a cheap place to crash for the night go for the Ho Jo Milford. If you're looking for anything more go somewhere else.

Reviewed by cat of CT on May 3, 2007

Many hotels in the Shelton / Trumbull area were three times the price or more for quite similar accomodations, going just ten minutes further saved a great deal of money! Newly renovated pool is worth checking out. If you're a coffee lover bring your own or stick to the shop across the street, less than desirable and no creamers or sugar provided. All in all well worth the money for the convenient location.
