Top Barker Character Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Southington by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was a little noisy"

Hamden Hotel and Suites – Hamden New Haven

8/10 Good

"Lots of variety for breakfast- waffles, eggs, bacon, bagels, cereal, fruit."

Best Western Plus New England Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"It was a great hotel room. Indoor pool was extremely cold even though the front desk said it was heated (it was not). Someone was smoking marijuana on our floor, I let the front desk know and they went up to investigate immediately. I didn't smell it again. I thank them for that. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made our 4 day stay enjoyable."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bristol, Connecticut

8/10 Good

"It was good."

Hilton Garden Inn Wallingford/Meriden

8/10 Good

"Hotel has been renovated but the rooms could use a slight upgrade to match the rest of the hotel."

Days Inn by Wyndham Southington

8/10 Good

"Clean bright room. Odd thing: the bedside light was connected the the wall switch by the door… but so was the overhead light. So when the big light was on you could turn the bedside lamp on and off, but when the overhead light was off the bedside lamp would not turn on. The room was big and beautiful (with a vaulted ceiling), nicely appointed and super comfortable. Additionally, it was absolutely the best for a dark and quiet sleeping space."

Clarion Inn North Haven - New Haven North

10/10 Excellent

"Tavern was nice with food . Under renovation so not as clean building supplies everywhere"

Holiday Inn Cheshire - Southington by IHG

8/10 Good

"Clean room, affordable prices"
