Hotels near Trumbull Historical Society in Trumbull

This Marriott was the worst Marriott I ever stayed in. Walking in from the outside you could see it wasn’t being maintained, no landscaping and leaves everywhere. Everything about the hotel was dated. Nothing was maintained: carpet is coming up, wallpaper is peeling in the rooms, multiple stains on furniture. The health club is abysmal. Two very small rooms: one with cardio and one with weights from the 1970s. The pool is old and small. This hotel has never been updated and it’s absurd that they charge money to stay here. I have stayed in hundreds of Marriotts and in general would recommend most, this one has been seriously neglected.

Very general

I recently started a new job at a brand new company and was tasked with assisting with a training seminar being held at our headquarters in Shelton. I worked with John Snider over at the Hilton in Shelton to reserve rooms for our guests as well as reserve their conference room. He made the process very easy and he was very flexible. The travel arrangements as far as who was coming what days and how many days was quite complicated as our training seminar was divided in two groups. John did not hesitate whenever I needed anything. He was very responsive. The staff was kind to all of our guests and the rooms were spectacularly clean. The conference room looked very professional for our meeting and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out. Many thanks to John Snider and the entire Hilton team in Shelton for making my very first training seminar a very successful one!

I was really surprised when I entered the room. The room is super large, small suite, with a large sofa, it is suitable for 5 people, the only small regret is that the air conditioner is old-fashioned, slow in response, and a bit noisy.

We stayed this past weekend for one night (thankfully) and while entering the hotel front doors we were suddenly greeted by a huge construction site upon arrival. Now I understand properties update but this was over the top and the property should shut down to fully complete the renovations rather than continue to book without disclosing the information during the reservation process. This is not a good business practice and fair to consumers. First, the major renovations should be noted prior to booking as it is throughout the whole hotel and is causing major hazards and multiple inconveniences throughout the stay including plastic sheets hanging throughout the halls causing confusion as to where to go and trouble navigating with children and luggage, wet paint in many areas, carpeting taped down or ripped up and rolled in the middle of the hallway, high scaffolds blocking entrances, loud construction tools being used, dust flying throughout the hotel, no front check in area, no convenience shop to purchase drinks etc. Since we had already paid and it was after 4:00 we had no other option but to stay. We hoped our rooms would be a different story than what we encountered in the lobby and halls. When we entered the two rooms we booked we noticed they were outdated, however knowing now they were being renovated we gave them the benefit of the doubt. However while we were in the rooms we noticed many things completely unacceptable, such as lights not working (including the lights right next to the door when you entered), black mold in the high corners of the bathroom, food left from previous guests under the ottoman (which means they did not move them while cleaning), no soap left in the bathroom soap dispenser, broken shower doors and shower head, hair in corners of the bathroom and shower area, paint peeling and chipped off of the wall and the AC unit not cooling with a mildew smell. We also heard people yelling out by the pool area overnight and noticed one person sleeping out in the chairs. Needless to say we barley slept and left as early as possible the next day. While we were leaving the front desk staff or person sitting down looking at a phone near what would be the area of a front desk barley even looked up to acknowledge us all packed up early and checking out. Never once did they apologize for any issues that were clearly going on at their hotel. Be aware of the positive reviews on their main site and other sites and if you do need to book a room, clearly ask about their renovation status.

This hotel looks promising when you walk in, with high ceilings, spacious, airy common areas, and subtly modernistic décor. First, the good points about my week-long stay: the staff was friendly, check-in was fast, the room was clean, and it was nice to have daily housekeeping, which I had started to think was a relic of the past. I also liked the spaciousness of the suite I was given, with its vaulted ceiling and full kitchen area with sink, microwave, dishwasher and stand-up refrigerator--downright luxurious! The included breakfast every day was welcome--I especially enjoyed the plentiful fresh fruit bar. How often do you see fresh (not frozen) berries at a hotel breakfast bar? However, what started as minor annoyances became major gripes as the week went on. Some lights in the room didn't work, and a few switches appeared to be dummies, controlling nothing. The bathroom venting fan ran continuously and loudly, so much so that I had to keep the door shut. When I complained maintenance staff did come to look at it but afterward I still couldn't turn it off, though in fairness it did seem somewhat quieter--maybe it's not supposed to be switched off? Which leads me to the biggest complaint of all, the noise. I was assigned a room on the ground floor in a well trafficked corridor, adjacent to a door that led outside to the parking lot. Every time someone came in that door or entered or left one a nearby room I would hear a loud ”thunk!” as a heavy latch fell into place. I could actually feel the room wall shake every time this happened. If an establishment is going to install doors that swing shut so hard, the acoustic treatment of all the walls needs to be a lot better. By the end of the week I was desperate for some uninterrupted sleep, and couldn't even use the earplugs I had brought with me because housekeeping had thrown them away one morning. If I were ever to try this place again (not sure I will) I would make sure I got a room not on the ground floor and way off in a corner somewhere.

The Hotel Marcel was quite Modern and very aesthetically pleasing! Upon arrival, I could tell this hotel was full of charm and personality. I especially enjoyed my stay in a corner suite with a King bed. The bathroom was very luxurious and I felt as though it was something out of a magazine. Overall, my stay was very comfortable and affordable. If I had one gripe it would be that the interior of the room was very dim in lighting even when the lights were fully on (touch censored lighting was available). I wish more light was able to be in the room.

I stayed at the RI in Shelton CT for a travel assignment in May of 2020. This company and hotel is amazing! It is located in a very safe area, I was only 10 minutes from the hospital. The complex is quiet and clean. My room was very large and felt like a private apartment. It had a full kitchen and even though I brought dishes and pans, I didn't need too. They provided everything. I broke a glass mixing bowl and they were not worried about the damage, they just wanted to make sure I was ok. The housekeeping service was on hold for the cleaning room due to COVID but they provided everything I needed to keep the space clean and my sheets and towels fresh! I honestly felt so welcomed and even though I was away from home I had my cats with me so it made me feel comfortable and at ease. The Staff even wrote me a note during nurses week. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I am forever thankful to the RI staff!

The Circle Hotel in Fairfield (named for the Fairfield Traffic Circle by which the hotel sits) is a recently refurbished locally operated property. The rooms are clean and the furniture is comfortable. Read other reviews here for great or advice on room locations. An added bonus is the Circle Diner next door, within walking easy distance and a local favorite. A detraction for me was the new TV system — I just didn’t get it. I live locally and had to stay here two nights while my apartment under repair. I’d gladly recommend Circle Hotel to anyone. Very convenient location to shopping, too!
