Baymont by Wyndham Branford/New Haven

The Baymont by Wyndham Branford/New Haven is a casual hotel that offers a 24-hour gym, an indoor pool, and a heated indoor sauna for hotel guests. The sauna is noted as an available amenity for heat therapy and relaxation. Beyond these wellness facilities, the hotel provides free breakfast and parking. Guest experiences with the accommodations vary significantly. Many guests appreciate clean rooms, cold and effective air conditioning, and a helpful front desk staff. Some note the location has been updated and that rooms include a fridge and microwave. However, numerous reports highlight significant drawbacks, including foul and persistent smoke smells in hallways and rooms, uncomfortably hard beds on extremely noisy metal frames, and issues with overall cleanliness such as hair strands, stains, and even roaches in some rooms. Soundproofing is reported to be poor, allowing noise from hallways and adjacent rooms to be easily heard. Other concerns involve misleading pricing, security issues with door locks, a basic breakfast offering, and broken fixtures. The hotel appears to cater to travelers seeking convenient, budget-friendly lodging, though experiences at higher price points are frequently described as disappointing.
