Rechristened "The Study" boutique hotel -- Goodbye Colony Inn

TravelGalore1, Santa Barbara, California — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:32:37 GMT

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chapel Street's a bit noisy, but ultra-convenient to Yale. I haven't actually stayed here yet (am planning a sleep-over visit soon) -- but I've peeked in. So the dreadful, dirty Colony Inn is now...

Dirty And Insulting

Do not stay at the Colony! From the moment I checked in the staff at the Colony treated me poorly. Upon arriving the late night desk clerk was engaged in a personal cell phone call of an...

A reliable, known quantity with best proximity to Yale

The Colony is my first choice in the admittedly weak field of hotels in New Haven. We go to a Yale event every year in winter, so being very close to the school is vital. The Colony is a known...

The Colony Inn is a wonderful getaway spot

We stayed at the Colony for Yale Parent's Weekend and were quite happy with everything. There was a good size room, with a large cable tv and good ac. The staff was very attentive and the beds were...

Uncomfortable and unkempt from the front desk to the rooms

Upon arriving, a very bad attitude women was "waiting" on the previous person who was just there to check in and ask simple directions to a local address. A copied map was unceremoniously shoved to...

Good location, but poor quality.

My husband and I recently stayed at The Colony for 4 nights. The location of the hotel is great. It's within short walking distance to Yale, numerous restaurants, and museums. Although we enjoyed the...

The Hotel allowed SIX loud girls to stay in one room!

The Hotel allowed SIX twenty-ish girls to stay in ONE room (the room next to ours). The girls were very loud when they left their room around 11 p.m. When they returned around 3 am they were...

Awful bed

By far the worst bed I have ever slept in. Both beds sunk in the middle. Unfriendly people at the desk, sure didn't want to help with anything. Bathroom ugly and brown water came out of the shower....

A little tired and pricey

Our family was touring the Yale University campus last month and spent one night in the Colony New Haven. I selected the Colony because of its close proximity to the campus, but we paid a premium for...

Solid workaday hotel

... for the money, and centrally located to see the sights. I would stay here again should I ever be passing through New Haven again, unless I could afford to stay at the Omni. The only irritant for...
