The Spotlight on Econo Lodge West Haven

Affordable Comfort Close to the Action in West Haven

Modern yet no-frills, Econo Lodge West Haven offers a clean and convenient place to crash after a night out. Located just a short drive from downtown New Haven’s concert venues, it’s a solid choice for music fans who want to stay near the city without paying downtown prices. Simple, straightforward rooms and free private parking make this a practical base for your gig-going getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Three things stand out for music lovers: location, parking, and price. Just over 3 miles from the Yale Bowl and not far from downtown New Haven, it’s close enough to catch late-night shows without worrying about a long commute. The area is relatively quiet—perfect for winding down after a big night. While it doesn’t offer late-night transport, rideshares are easy to grab. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, and you can sleep in until 11:00 AM before check-out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to save on lodging and spend more on tickets
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples making a weekend of it in New Haven
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value over luxury

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t have a restaurant or bar, there are several casual eateries within a short drive—perfect for a post-show bite. Breakfast is typically available, which is a lifesaver after a late night out. No room service or on-site dining means planning ahead is smart here.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar on-site, but downtown New Haven’s vibrant nightlife is just a quick trip away. Whether you're hitting a local pub, catching a set at a jazz lounge, or grabbing a craft beer, the options are plentiful once you're in the city.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, free parking, and clean rooms. Reviewers often mention the location as a major perk, especially for events at Yale Bowl or downtown venues. It’s a no-frills stay, but delivers on its promise of convenience and value.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the decor and amenities are basic, and the property could use a refresh. There’s no elevator, so pack light if you’ve got an upper-floor room. But if you’re here for the music, you probably won’t spend much time in the room anyway.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a simple, budget-friendly stay close to New Haven’s concert venues, Econo Lodge West Haven hits the right notes.

Horrible!

Liked: It came with built in pets!!
Disliked: Walk in room roach runs across the wall. As I’m looking around I see fridge leaked water all over the floor. The tiles in bathroom broken an lifting. Dirty towels on rack. Looked at bed to see burn marks. Pull up blanket to see pink fluids all on sheet. I go down to complain an got sheets handed to me an told me I don’t like it I clean myself. Very dirty facility! No breakfast or coffee offered. The smell of urine everywhere. An no ice machine yet they give you an ice bucket. If I don’t already pay I would have left. Very unhappy. The bullet holes in wall was interesting as well.

The worst motel I have...

Disliked: This was the filthiest motel I have ever stayed in. The initial room that I was assigned to had black mold, covering all of the ceiling tiles in the bathroom. I was moved to the adjacent room. It was listed as a non-smoking room, but it reeked of smoke. When I let the front desk know, I was given a bottle of Febreze for the room. The mattress underneath the sheets was stained. The sheets themselves had cigarette burns in them and multiple stains and ink spots. The pillows were old and stained, and non-supportive. The inside of the microwave was disgustingly dirty, and the glass plate did not fit properly.There was dirt and stickiness on all of the floors, and especially in the corners.The curtains reeked of smoke.I was not provided with towels upon check-in. I asked twice for towels on the first day and three times for towels on the second day. I was finally provided towels after the fifth request.It was really bad and I did look for a different place to stay.Hotels and rooms in the area were extremely scarce because of the graduation happening at Yale University. I ended up purchasing vinegar, baking soda, and dryer sheets to try to mitigate the smell. I purchased my own towels and pillow to use. Everything that I brought into the room, absorb the smoke smell and upon check out three days later reeked of stale smoke.
