The hotel worker at check in was very friendly and helped carry my bag up the stairs. The room is spacious and comfortable, very well-furnished for this price point. The shower was excellent with hot water and good water pressure. The coffee machine comes stocked with Starbucks pods. A bus stop right across the street goes right to the Yale campus. Parking is free. A very affordable place to stay for a trip to Yale. The only downsides was that there was only one window and it looks out on the breezeway so had to keep it closed for privacy. And there's quite a lot of road noise. Overall though highly recommend!

Nice stay at Carriage House

We had a great stay at Carriage House. It was clean and comfortable, and they were able to accommodate my late check in with a simple process. The room seems to have been recently renovated and has everything we needed.

We enjoy staying at the Carriage House very much! The owners and staff are very attentive and responsive. The rooms are very fresh clean. The beds are a pleasure to sleep in after a long drive it working day. We stay here all the time when we come to Hamden to visit family.

Will be back!

Our stay here was amazing! The room was perfect for us. It was clean and comfortable, had so many extras, and was perfectly located near everything we needed. The owners are amazing to deal with (very accessible) and we really appreciated the contactless check in, so simple. No question we will be returning. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. 🙂

If you value your privacy avoid this place. No physical employees. They monitor your every move through cameras and if something is not to their liking you will receive a phone call telling you to leave the property or further actions will be taken.
