The Blake Hotel

Great location for a quick...

Liked: The room was spacious. It was clean enough for a hotel (I do my own additional cleaning. The towels looked clean enough, but I brought my own. My favorite part was the kitchen with a microwave, stove, and even dishwasher!!! That means you could totally bring your own food. However, there is a bar/restaurant downstairs. There are MANY local restaurants and things to do nearby if you want. Quite a bit is within walking distance. For a city, it wasn't too crowded or loud outside.
Disliked: I absolutely hate barn doors because they don't lock or close completely. Be prepared for that with the bathroom of all places. The artwork downstairs is hideous, but that's not important. I didn't like having to ask after attempting to check in, if the room was ready. They should've been looking for me to tell me the room was ready.

Nice hotel close to campus

Liked: Our experience overall was positive. Front Desk Supervisor Aisha Bello was helpful and answered my emailed questions quickly. She also helped us check in and took care of everything we needed. The hotel offered secure storage for our bicycles, which we appreciated. Our room was quiet and had a nice view toward campus. The hotel is a few blocks from some good restaurants and the Yale University Art Gallery and Center for British Art.
Disliked: Our main issue was with passenger and luggage drop-off at the entrance to the hotel. We had bikes on the back of our car which we wanted to unload, and the valet parking area is very congested. The staff tried to help us, but it was stressful not having enough space and then having to back out into the street. If possible, I suggest that the hotel set aside more space for unloading and less for parking. It's an awkward situation that makes checking in and out difficult. Also valet parking at the hotel is expensive. There’s a cheaper multi-story parking lot a block or two away at 231 Crown Street (less than half the price of valet parking).
