Best Hotels near University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport

The Circle Hotel in Fairfield (named for the Fairfield Traffic Circle by which the hotel sits) is a recently refurbished locally operated property. The rooms are clean and the furniture is comfortable. Read other reviews here for great or advice on room locations. An added bonus is the Circle Diner next door, within walking easy distance and a local favorite. A detraction for me was the new TV system — I just didn’t get it. I live locally and had to stay here two nights while my apartment under repair. I’d gladly recommend Circle Hotel to anyone. Very convenient location to shopping, too!

This Marriott was the worst Marriott I ever stayed in. Walking in from the outside you could see it wasn’t being maintained, no landscaping and leaves everywhere. Everything about the hotel was dated. Nothing was maintained: carpet is coming up, wallpaper is peeling in the rooms, multiple stains on furniture. The health club is abysmal. Two very small rooms: one with cardio and one with weights from the 1970s. The pool is old and small. This hotel has never been updated and it’s absurd that they charge money to stay here. I have stayed in hundreds of Marriotts and in general would recommend most, this one has been seriously neglected.

My stay with my son is as nice they’re breakfast was wonderful not continental at all everything was clean but they charge you an extra 100 for a deposit to make sure you don’t smoke I get the policies but they should have something on the internet or anything to let people know that they have to spend extra money it seems like they are being sneaky when it comes to that part other then that it was a great stay.

Very good for the price. Clean rooms a little bathroom but its ok for 3 to 4 days if you need a place just for sleep. The staf very helpfully. No breakfast offerr but they have a good coffe al day and wahing machies. Near to the highway but very quiete place

The hotel is conveniently located at the high-speed exit. Hotel facilities are old, but health is OK. Although there is breakfast, it is very simple. Fortunately, there is a small kitchen, asking the hotel to borrow kitchen utensils for Chinese food, very good! There is a big supermarket 700 meters away. I bought a dish and I am eating it myself. It is very comfortable! A good experience!

There is a parking lot. On the highway side, it is convenient to get in and out of the highway. The breakfast is quite satisfactory. There is free coffee and tea in the lobby for 24 hours. The room is very good. There is a sofa bed.

This hotel looks promising when you walk in, with high ceilings, spacious, airy common areas, and subtly modernistic décor. First, the good points about my week-long stay: the staff was friendly, check-in was fast, the room was clean, and it was nice to have daily housekeeping, which I had started to think was a relic of the past. I also liked the spaciousness of the suite I was given, with its vaulted ceiling and full kitchen area with sink, microwave, dishwasher and stand-up refrigerator--downright luxurious! The included breakfast every day was welcome--I especially enjoyed the plentiful fresh fruit bar. How often do you see fresh (not frozen) berries at a hotel breakfast bar? However, what started as minor annoyances became major gripes as the week went on. Some lights in the room didn't work, and a few switches appeared to be dummies, controlling nothing. The bathroom venting fan ran continuously and loudly, so much so that I had to keep the door shut. When I complained maintenance staff did come to look at it but afterward I still couldn't turn it off, though in fairness it did seem somewhat quieter--maybe it's not supposed to be switched off? Which leads me to the biggest complaint of all, the noise. I was assigned a room on the ground floor in a well trafficked corridor, adjacent to a door that led outside to the parking lot. Every time someone came in that door or entered or left one a nearby room I would hear a loud ”thunk!” as a heavy latch fell into place. I could actually feel the room wall shake every time this happened. If an establishment is going to install doors that swing shut so hard, the acoustic treatment of all the walls needs to be a lot better. By the end of the week I was desperate for some uninterrupted sleep, and couldn't even use the earplugs I had brought with me because housekeeping had thrown them away one morning. If I were ever to try this place again (not sure I will) I would make sure I got a room not on the ground floor and way off in a corner somewhere.

I'm writing this review for those of you who are concerned about the bad reviews of this hotel. Everyone in my party thought this hotel was perfectly fine. A week or so before my stay I had to alter my reservation, and did so over the phone with a person who was very helpful and professional, and also asked if I wanted the two rooms to be next to each other (they were). The online check-in process was seamless - nothing unexpected, no unexpected charges whatsoever. The room was very clean and quite comfortable. I didn't hear any noise from either the road or the restaurant. I had a good night's sleep. My sister was staying in the room next door, and neither of us could hear the other one's TV or anything. This hotel was very convenient for a family gathering, and I would absolutely stay there again. It is not fancy, but it is absolutely fine. One thing I would agree with is the heater is extremely loud.
