In our 50+ years of traveling this was honestly an over the top 3 nite stay. The staff was A1 and the rooms were immaculate and brightly decorated. The breakfast was great. Being hard to please we felt thoroughly comfortable. Kudos to the management for this gem. A side bonus were windows that could be partially opened for fresh air.... more

A poor example of the Holiday Inn Express brand. Dirty beyond it's years, insincere and dismissive staff. A dumpy dirty dank pool area, and some of the most incredibly thin walls I have ever witnessed in a permanent structure. We, won't be back. more

This was your typical holiday inn that we blocked off rooms for our wedding in. The rooms were clean and the complimentary breakfast buffet was nice for our guests leaving the next morning. The main problem with this hotel is the staff and management. The manager takes days to a week to return calls if ever at all which is... more

I have family in the area and have stayed at several hotels in Branford through the years. This is the one I will come back to. The staff was very attentive and very friendly. We had a small issue with our room so they changed us to another room for the second night. The rooms were clean, well furnished and... more

As others have written, this is a marvellous mid-priced hotel within an easy commute to New Haven/Yale. The only way breakfast could be better would be if they cooked the eggs to order! The breakfast room was large, bright, and the food selection was absolutely complete. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the check in-check out procedure was convenient.... more

The Branford Holiday Inn Express is a wonderful place to stay in the New Haven area. The hotel is located on a main street with plenty of eating places nearby as well as shopping. The hotel is extremely clean and rooms are spacious. We had a fridge in our room which was a nice plus. Hotel staff was friendly and... more

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. Looks and smells brand new. The room was very comfortable and the business center and fitness room were helpful. My only complaint was the thickness of the walls. I could hear EVERYTHING going on in the rooms around us. I would recommend this room to others, just make sure you... more

The rooms in this hotel were excellent - good size, fresh paint, attractive furnishings, with a clean large bathroom. The hotel itself was a typical Holiday Inn Express with the expected facilities (breakfast, pool, business center, etc) that were all perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately, every member of the staff was incompetent, rude or both. We were there for a wedding and... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Branford for one night in May 2007. I didn't spend a lot of time there, checking in late at night and out fairly early in the morning, but it was a decent stay. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The staff is courteous and friendly. The room was spacious and... more
