Stratford Hotels with Airport pickup service

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 general

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!

I was really surprised when I entered the room. The room is super large, small suite, with a large sofa, it is suitable for 5 people, the only small regret is that the air conditioner is old-fashioned, slow in response, and a bit noisy.

I chose this hotel based on its online photos, indoor pool with water slide and decent reviews. We were a large group all attending a wedding nearby. And the rest of the group all booked at this hotel after we did. Huge mistake. First, we planned to spend the day of the wedding by the pool with the kids until I read here that you have to book a ONE hour time slot. Not only that, but when I called the hotel to confirm I was told you can’t book ahead, or even at check in. Booking doesn’t open until 7AM the morning you want to use the pool. So if you want to guarantee a big group gets in at the same time you have to set your alarm for 7AM, and wake your whole room calling down to the front desk. I tried speaking to a manager beforehand, but only got the run around. When we checked in Friday night around 8pm, we called down for a pack n play and were told they were all out! Apparently they have THREE cribs for over 100 rooms. Front desk told us it’s a common problem at the hotel and we should have checked in earlier as they’re first come/first serve. They were ZERO help as to where our baby was supposed to sleep that night, and acted like it was our fault for having to work and then drive into town that night. If this is a common problem, why wouldn’t they just buy a few more cribs? They could have Instacarted one that night. We had to go buy a crib! When we moved the chair to fit the pack n play we bought we found dirty, open food wrappers with food still in them! My toddler has food allergies so this wasn’t just gross, but also dangerous for him. When we ran out of shampoo/conditioner before the wedding we called down to housekeeping, no response, so I went down to the front desk. The receptionist literally told me I’d have to “stalk the housekeeper” to get some, because she didn’t have any. Luckily, a manager stepped in and did say she’d send some up. But that was the basic attitude all weekend, the guests problems are not their problems (even though they were hotel related). There was also a domestic incident at the hotel that night that involved screaming, yelling, dog barking, and required a police response. This, of course, wasn’t the hotel’s fault. Overall, though, look elsewhere and save yourselves the hassle. ESPECIALLY if you have a baby.

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

I stayed at the RI in Shelton CT for a travel assignment in May of 2020. This company and hotel is amazing! It is located in a very safe area, I was only 10 minutes from the hospital. The complex is quiet and clean. My room was very large and felt like a private apartment. It had a full kitchen and even though I brought dishes and pans, I didn't need too. They provided everything. I broke a glass mixing bowl and they were not worried about the damage, they just wanted to make sure I was ok. The housekeeping service was on hold for the cleaning room due to COVID but they provided everything I needed to keep the space clean and my sheets and towels fresh! I honestly felt so welcomed and even though I was away from home I had my cats with me so it made me feel comfortable and at ease. The Staff even wrote me a note during nurses week. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I am forever thankful to the RI staff!

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.

No. Unless you’re a one night stayer, this hotel will not work well for road warriors. No, microwaves in rooms. Not even an option to get one from the lobby. I’m done paying $50 for a microwave for my stays which I have to buy without reimbursement. No status recognition. What’s the point of chain loyalty if the hotel won’t recognize your loyalty. I don’t have a problem with Marriott but since Covid happen Hilton doesn’t seem to care much about my loyalty, it’s common now. Road warriors live in hotels. We want to come back to the room and not be bothered after working some 14-16 hour days sometimes for two weeks straight with no days off. I’m done giving hotels the benefit of a doubt when staying. Living on the road for 10 years I recognize better hotels compared to poor ones. Listen I understand people on vacation piss everyone off and are constantly unprepared for everything, always getting in the way and lost. Constantly are rude to the front desk and trash rooms. Road warriors aren’t typical like this from my experience with my multiple crew members. All I ask for a hotel is to have accommodations for road warriors to go about our business and limit unprepared vacationer interactions. Having to make multiple trips to the lobby to use a common microwave is frustrating.

When I visited Yale University, I stayed for one night, not far from Yale University, and the transportation was convenient. The free parking lot was sufficient. Breakfast is good in a similar hotel.
