Motel 6 Milford, CT
Everything went as smooth as possible with my stay. My reservation was ready for me when I walked in the door. Parking was well lit and plenty of it complementary coffee in the morning.

Trumbull Marriott Shelton
The property is old and run down. For example they had three elevators and two of them didn’t work. The room was pretty clean but the rest of the property was pretty old and not that clean.
