Chester Center Vacations from $365

It was great but I hy to pay for the parking

You can’t beat the Omni’s location — right in the heart of downtown New Haven, steps from Yale and everything the city has to offer. It's a true gem on the outside, but once you're inside, the experience doesn’t quite match the name or the price. For a hotel that proudly sits in the shadow of Yale and charges premium rates, the rooms and common areas could really use a deep clean and a modern upgrade. There’s so much potential here — with some investment in cleanliness and renovation, this hotel could truly live up to its iconic address.

The staff is very hospitable. She let me check in early and helped us with luggages as the elevator was out of order for a while. I really like the library set up so I was able to focus on working for a long while as my husband needs to use the desk in the room. The location is the best. I wish they had free bottled water in the room. The cafe in the lobby is very nice.

This was my second time staying at this hotel in Southington, and it was just as great as I remembered from my visit back in December 2024. The property is exceptionally quiet, which made it easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep. And even though it’s conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and major roads. It strikes the perfect balance between peaceful and practical. One thing that really stood out to me again was the beautiful view of the surrounding nature. Waking up to greenery and open space just outside my window gave the stay a calm, refreshing feel, a rare treat for a hotel that’s so close to everything. I also want to give a special mention to the young lady at the front desk. I recognised her from my last visit, and even though I unfortunately don’t recall her name, her warm, welcoming energy made a lasting impression both times. She was kind, helpful, and made the check-in process smooth and personal. The room was also spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the whole place felt well cared for. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town. It’s become a go-to spot for me!

It was close to shopping and restaurants.
