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!!

Very nice, clean, comfortable Holiday Inn Express. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. The lobby has a large seating area for breakfast with a solid array of food choices. There is also an indoor pool and ice machine. We have stayed here more than 3 times now while visiting family. It's a convenient way-point between Long Island and Rhode Island that meets all the needs of an overnight stay. Right off I-95, nearby groceries and amenities, and close to the Branford downtown area.
