Top East Rock Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham New Haven

2/10 Terrible

"This establishment is not safe. There were people making noise in the hallways all night and when reported they did nothing. Awoken to a fire alarm at 6 am. And told they would forfeit our pet and parking fees yet charged to my account the next day!"
