Top Eli Whitney Museum Hotel Reviews

New Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in downtown New Haven. Near the hospital and the Yale campus. Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms, nice restaurants near by."

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff and very clean facilities, including room, exercise room, and lobby. Backup plans for coffee/gift shop being open should be made as one day it was closed during prime morning hours. Only negative was it's right in the bar zone between Church and Chapel. If you are there Friday or Saturday, plan on being up quite late."

Cambria Hotel New Haven University Area

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice and close to most things in New Haven. It's right off the highway. I stayed for 3 nights and truly enjoyed the restaurant downstairs for breakfast and dinner. The bar was the spot each night. Staff were friendly and had great customer service. The rooms are great too!"

Historic Whitneyville Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for access to New Haven and nearby communities, Merrit parkway and I-95 both close by. Great little house with everything you need for a comfortable stay."

Spa Inspired - 3BR Comfort Suite - Near Yale

8/10 Good

"Very clean and having an oven was nice. An older building on the top floor may be difficult to access for small children or those with mobility issues."

East Rock Gem: 5 min to Yale, King Bed, Fast WiFi & Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The unit is spacious with 3 full bedrooms. It is very tastefully decorated, and well appointed with everything you will need. It was extremely clean when we arrived. The location is excellent. So many cute walkable eateries nearby, and the neighborhood is lovely. We had a delightful walk in East Rock Park.Noise sensitive guests should be aware that there are neighbors upstairs. You will hear them talking in the back stairway and walking around overhead. This is normal for the type of historic building this property is in."

Casa Soleada in Heart of East Rock 3BR | Cozy King Bed | Near DT/Yale
