Mid

Half the lights didn’t work in the room. Sent maintenance to “fix” it. Showed up with a ladder an hour later then told us he couldn’t fix it. We all huddled around the one light to get ready for the wedding. Did not offer another room to get ready disappointed motel 6 leaves the light on for next time I guess.

Everything was just fine. I think you could fix the wallpaper that is not really attached to the wall in a few places and the tub had very many places that are black because the porcelain is wearing off. The tub was very clean but I didn’t take a bath because of the black bits.

The bathtubs need new grouting, minor mold fixes, and one tub had chipped paint/lining and should probably be fully replaced. Everything else was good. In the cafeteria, the fried eggs were not edible -rubbery and looked really weird, like they’d been microwaved? The pancake maker was broken and looked. Like it had never been used. Wish they had a waffle maker. All the other food was fine.

This is a nice clean hotel with a free breakfast not far from the New Haven Tweed airport. I had an early flight to catch and a rent car to return and it worked out great. Several nice restaurants nearby that I did not get to try but I did visit Lenny’s seafood on the Branford waterfront!! It was great!!
