Pros

AAA Inspector's Best of Housekeeping Award winner for 2024

Adjacent to Circle Diner, voted Best Family Restaurant for 10 consecutive years

Located near multiple universities including Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University

ADA-compliant facilities with accessible lobby, breakfast area, and designated parking

Cons

Housekeeping service provided only for stays of 3 or more nights

Pets allowed only in rooms with exterior entrances

“This hotel struck me as a place prioritizing practical comforts, with its pet-friendly policy and coastal-themed decor; the AAA award for housekeeping is a point worth noting. The easy access to beaches and universities is undeniably convenient, but the on-site diner really seals the deal for simple stays. For those seeking fuss-free lodging, it presents a solid option.”
