Super 8 Milford/New Haven

This place is not a Hotel Monaco, and does not claim to be. It’s a Super 8. At $ 89 plus tax (total of $ 103) it wasn’t the worst. Our room wasn’t dirty — it almost seemed to have newer carpets. I admit it was a handicap accessible room (we requested 1^st floor) so I’m unsure if it is rented as often as the others. We stopped en route to Virginia from VT. It’s a convenient location right off 95, next to a Cumberland Farms and a local diner. Easy peasy!

I give this horrible hotel zero stars. Not only are the rooms filthy the service and staff are very rude and they need a lesson on customer service. I stayed one night in this hotel from hell and the next morning I woke up with bumps all over I complained to the staff about the possibility of bedbugs and told them I will be checking out early if they can’t remedy it. The staff member I spoke with was very rude and stated that I would not be entitled to a refund for checking early. I don’t know which was nastier the food or the staff. I recommend not going to this hole in the wall bag of trash motel and staying else where. Save your money and your sanity by going to a better chain. I wish I knew what I knew now I would not have spent a penny in this bedbug infested place.

Last minute booking while traveling down i95 all other hotels in the area were booked. I called the woman on the phone was pleasant I booked a non smoking king suite with a pull out sofa being they only had two rooms and the other was a smoking. i was traveling with my son and husband. Well I checked in and the gentleman in the office gold me all there was is a smoking room I explained I can’t take it as I am allergic he said I’ll give you a king with a jacuzzi for the same price like he was doing me a favor well I really needed the sofa bed now we are all stuffed into one bed very uncomfortable. The so called jacuzzi I wouldn’t even put my dog in. I would definitely not recommend this location.

Don’t. Just, please, don’t. I spent two weeks on the road in ten different motels across six states. This was the worst one, and I spent the night in a hotel that cost $ 43/​night on the side of a mountain in Massachusetts. Trust me when I say, this was worse.
Check-​in was interesting. The man behind the counter seemed baffled that I had gotten such a good rate ($ 80/​night) because their rooms normally go for upwards of $ 120 according to him. So, thanks Expedia?
Anywho, my room was on the second floor and to my overwhelming joy: sarcasm: came complete with a connecting door which I immediately barricaded with my luggage, because I’m paranoid like that. I was also treated to a used office/​computer chair which I suppose served as additional seating, but was totally out of place and seemed to have just been rolled into the room and left there.
The room was filthy. You know how old, bulky vacuum cleaners can only get so close to the wall and then you have to take out the attachment to clean the corners and creases? Yeah, they clearly don’t do that here. There was a 2 inch halo of dirty and dust lining the entire room. The bathroom had some rusty stains here and there and a lovely build-​up of mold on the inside of the shower curtain. There were tiny holes in the sheets which I had to thoroughly examine because upon first look they can easily be mistaken for bugs (which wouldn’t have shocked me in this place).
The walls are paper thin so I got a free Spanish lesson from my neighbors and can now yell at children in two languages.
I spent the night fully clothed, laying on top of a sweater I laid out over the stiff, itchy blanket, praying for morning so I could get the hell out of there.
I understand cheap accommodations don’t often yield the greatest results, but as I said, ten hotels in fifteen days, none over $ 90/​night, and this was by far the worst.

This is one of the better low-​end motels in Milford which isn’t saying much. This place doesn’t have the horrible reputation of the HoJo’s across the street. The owner-​family looks like they’re doing their best to keep up with maintenance, and the rooms have always been clean.

This place really aint that bad. Yes it could use some fine tunning, but I was very happy with the size of $ 60.00 a night room. Plenty of hot water. The staff will look at you with a blank stare if you speak to fast, they no speaky english to good. CVS is right next door, hooters, a joke, is accross the street, and the mall is just down the block. Location is good, freeway, food, shopping.
Here’s one for you: I had holes in my bed spread. I called down to the front desk for a new one. A small frail Hindu man shows up. The switch was made. He then asks me for a tip! I look him dead in his eyes and reply, «A tip? Here’s one DON’T SMOKE! Now get out of my room I got to get some sleep.» He stood there! I gently moved him towardsand out the door. I still laugh about that one.

Because of Hurricane Irene, got to try some places the likes of which I otherwise probably never would. Like a Super 8 motel.
After a day and a half of no power, decided to check in at a hotel to take showers, use Internet, and watch some TV. Asked my sister, who lives hundreds of miles away and had power and Internet, to find us a place, and for some reason she chose here.
Personally, I was not planning to spend the night (sleeping at home without power wasn’t a problem), though some of us were considering it. However, after checking in, we all decided we wouldn’t be spending the night. It’s too noisy sitting directly on the Boston Post Road, and it’s the kind of place where the people staying in the next room leave their door open with their kids running around screaming. We showered and hung out that day using wifi and the TV, and also returned the next morning to shower.
In addition to noise, other negatives include:
— slow wifi
— shortage of towels (they ran out, we had to wait until evening after the laundry came back to finally get enough)
— TV remote not working
— lousy selection of TV channels (only news channel was Fox?)
— certain lamps not working
I will give them credit on three things:
— the room was reasonably clean, especially the bathroom (which was my main concern)
— the guys working the front desk were friendly, with the white guy working nights particularly helpful
— the free breakfast wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. The Douwe Egberts coffee machine in particular was pretty decent.
So what does that all mean? I’m not sure! The place wasn’t good, but also wasn’t as bad as its reviews on TripAdvisor suggested. While we chose not to spend the night because we had a quiet (albeit powerless) home nearby to sleep in, if you check into a motel on the Boston Post Road, you probably aren’t expecting a silent night. So if you need a cheap place to stay in the area, or moreso, if you ever find yourself in a situation like we did and just want to use the shower and hang out during a power outage, seems you could do worse.
