The hotel facility was very nice. The breakfast offered was a nice variety, however, everything hot was very peppery.
The one "complaint" was just about every time I went to the front desk no one was around.

Great experience!
Best hotel we've stayed at in Branford. We grew up there and attend family events at least once a ttyear or more. We've tried other hotels but none came close! Room was updated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Amazingly clean and welcoming. Staff was great. We'll stay again!
