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.
