Hotels near Brandford Antiques & Home Design, Branford

Had a lovely stay here with family for a wedding. It was in a lovely location. The rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially Raj who was always around to help out. There is a lovely diner and shops close by and it’s perfectly located. Would definitely stay here again.

Notably good for a motel. It's apparent that the owners take good care of their property -- clean grout, amenities in good shape, nothing missing, wall protector behind the door knob, decent smell (i.e., absence of smell). I'm glad we found this affordable sanctuary in the overpriced New Haven market. Also, Stop & Shop, gas and dining options nearby. Caveat: based on only one stay in one room. Will be back next week.

One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed in, prices are very affordable, rooms are immaculate and staff is very friendly. Me and my girlfriend came to this hotel about a couple weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’re back again and loving it. This place is splendid. Highly recommend.

After staying at this “hotel,” I understand better why the good ones in the vicinity sell out quickly. The quotes around “hotel” are strategic. It’s a motel. Our first impression was to flee, but we had already booked and paid for it. Check-in confirmed our initial impression when the receptionist asked if we needed a TV. Need a TV? Doesn’t our “suite” have a TV? Apparently, not all of them do. The stairway to the second floor consisted of a steep set of cracked cement stairs so tiny that my size 10 ½ shoes struggled to climb. An older person or anyone with stability issues could not reach the second floor. As you enter the room, you wish you would have turned around and hopped back into your vehicle. Inside our suite, the horrible review continues. After turning on the air conditioning, which did a fine job cooling the room, there was a strange smell we could not identify. Scanning the room, I was surprised to find a grasshopper perched upon the bedspread. I removed it and released it back into the wild. Thank you, Red Roof Inn, for a life-long anecdote. The inspection of the space continued with one disgusting discovery after another. The towels were either stained or dirty. Upon looking beneath the pillowcases, you could see apparent blood stains. The bedspread and linens did not appear clean. The furniture was mismatched, old, and disgusting. The remote control to the optional TV was so dirty and sticky that I washed my hands after changing channels. I decided not to turn on the TV in the morning to avoid the remote. The bathroom functioned well, although we found it difficult to survive with a tiny bar of soap that we shuttled back and forth between the shower and the sink. Despite a small kitchen area, we did not open the refrigerator door. We didn’t want to eat anything in that suite. We should have put more effort into researching this place before booking it. The negative reviews we read are faithful to our experience. After a one-night stay, it is obvious how deceptive the pictures are. They do not reflect reality. We would not recommend this place since our collective mantra in the morning was, “We survived.”

We stayed here for just over a week. This is an excellent hotel that gives great value. The rooms are spacious, clean the bedsheets and beds are soft and so comfortable to sleep in. The breakfast was delicious and the staff at the front desk extremely friendly and helpful. This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in for a long time ! The rooms are cleaned daily to a very high standard so a big thank you also to the staff who clean the rooms ! Highly recommended!

This is an older motel located right next to a very busy highway and frontage road. If you just need a relatively inexpensive place to get a night's sleep, it's an adequate. Everything is old and a bit decrepit. There is highway noise in the rooms in the front of the motel - I suggest bringing earplugs if you need quiet for sleeping. On the positive side, my room was clean and there was an adequate breakfast included with the price of the room.

The Hotel Marcel was quite Modern and very aesthetically pleasing! Upon arrival, I could tell this hotel was full of charm and personality. I especially enjoyed my stay in a corner suite with a King bed. The bathroom was very luxurious and I felt as though it was something out of a magazine. Overall, my stay was very comfortable and affordable. If I had one gripe it would be that the interior of the room was very dim in lighting even when the lights were fully on (touch censored lighting was available). I wish more light was able to be in the room.

Apart from free parking and breakfast, this hotel is not recommended. The elevator is particularly scary. It sounds like falling. The elevator broke down once during the stay. Fortunately, I was not in it but planned to use it. As a result, the elevator did not open or move after pressing the button .
