I liked that it was fairly close to the Yale campus but it really did require taking an Uber at night. Just a nice and clean, simple hotel.

Check in was a small alcove with another guest present and the attendant announced my room number loudly instead of just writing it on keycard.
Microwave was rusty with peeling plastic. However room was clean, bed comfortable and when someone was playing loud music middle of night, the security came by promptly. Plenty of parking
