Why Concert-goers love it

With easy access to Route 15 and I-95, getting to and from shows is a breeze. The hotel is close enough to New Haven venues without the downtown prices or noise. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere after a loud night out. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, which gives you time to relax before heading out, and the 11:00 AM checkout lets you sleep in after a late show. Plus, there's plenty of parking for road-tripping fans.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a free continental breakfast–great for refueling after a night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find plenty of quick bites and sit-down spots within a short drive, including the popular Southport Brewing Company just 2 miles away. Each room’s microwave and fridge make leftovers or snacks a breeze. No 24/7 room service, but late-night food runs are easy with nearby options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a quiet zone, you're a quick drive from the vibrant nightlife of downtown New Haven. Whether you're into craft beer bars, lounges, or catching another set at a local venue, you’re not far from the action. Then retreat back to your peaceful room to rest up.
