Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

New Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in New Haven where I stayed when I participated in the Faxon Race in Sept. Close to New Haven Green, lots of restaurants, very walkable. Property was very clean, staff at check in/out were very helpful. Bathroom had nice materials, water was immediately hot, and good lighting for makeup; available robe for use was a nice touch. Counter space was limited, and the fan and light was on the same switch so you had to hear the fan every time you turned on the light. The mini fridge was in a cabinet with no outlet so I had to drag it out into the room to plug it in to get it cold; I left it there until the day I checked out when I unplugged and returned it to the cabinet. There is no breakfast included however they do have Starbucks coffee in the lobby in AM. Although they do have a fairly good selection of food items at the kiosk in the lobby it was very expensive ($5 for a 6 oz cup of yougurt!). Parking was directly across the street and fairly reasonable for a city; the ramps were pretty tight so if you have a large vehicle it could be a challenge navigating."
