Best Stratford Hotels

I had ankle replacement in NYC and spent 35 days at Homewood Suites recovering. Staff were wonderful to work with. The manager brought me a get well balloon and a Homewood Suites fleece throw. They accommodated cleaning while I stayed in the room since I was elevating my ankle above heart height 90% of the first 2 weeks and 60% of next 2 weeks. There are a number of good restaurants you can order takeout from. Wednesday evening soup, salad, wine and beer nights were always very pleasant. On the days that were warm enough, and once I could get around a little on my knee scooter I enjoyed the large 2nd floor patio facing woods and the river even though you could hear a little road noise there. Inside our room there was no road noise. In 35 nights there were 1 or 2 when we were aware of a children’s birthday party partly being celebrated in lobby area we were close to. But even then not much noise or for long. Furniture shows some wear and accessible living room needs better lighting. When our son and his family visited we saw that regular 1 BR suite has more lamps and better lighting. Very nice staff. Very accepting of our corgi and our cat. I highly recommend this hotel

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.

The staff here -- Rebecca and Greg and another front desk person who unfortunately i didn't get the name of -- are all EXCELLENT. They go the extra mile. Rebecca kindly upgraded our room to a one-bedroom, and Greg schlepped to another building to get us more pillows. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was fine, but the real highlight was the warm helpfulness of the 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.

I would say you get what you pay for but that wouldn't be true, I paid to much for what I got. they didn't forget to tell me about the $200 cleaning fee if the catch you smoking in the Room but as soon as you open the room door it smells like a wet ashtray. the bathrooms are wa to small im on crutches and it was almost impossible to **** and shower.

Good experience

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.

Breakfast was disappointing- there were no breakfast potatoes, no yogurt, and only instant oatmeal. Room was small, but clean and had a lot of clever places to store things. Convenient location. No pool, but good for staying overnight only.

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!
