Ridgefield Motor Inn

Bedspread badly worn, cigarette hole in top sheet, lite next to bed broken, empty alcohol bottles in bedside table, sink drain clogged, door doesn’t close by itself, a/c has one setting on, no sound insulation- could hear people in adjacent room talking in normal voices, hallway carpet badly worn and dirty, front door to 2nd floor entrance doesn’t lock- security risk, parking lot in poor condition, breakfast options minimal. Don’t stay here.

Had a 6 hour car ride from Delaware and got there early. Three cars in the parking lot. Was told check in at 3:00pm to come back. The lobby was miniscule. Looking at the doors of the rooms (everything was outside) it looked terrible. There was a housekeeping cart outside and the linens looked dingy and grey. Found another hotel in the area that was beautiful and we never checked in. Would not recommend just by looking at the outside, which was a disgrace in such a beautiful town.

Everything worked great; the room was appropriately appointed, clean and the staff was great. But the property is experiencing some deferred maintenance - toilet seat was deteriorating, the gym equipment was old, window was missing a screen - and there's not really anything around. It has a restaurant and that's great, but nothing else. That said, it's a great price/value for the area and I would likely stay again should the need arise.

The room is in terrible condition. The outlets were loose. We had to bend the plug on our charger to finally make it work. Be warned that if you have a room on the second floor the stairs are extremely steep.

Aging motel with junk cars and long term residents smoking pot and playing loud music. Didn’t feel completely safe. A resident there clearly with mental health issues. A bit of dry cereal and English muffins was only thing available for breakfast. Should not be charging $99 per night. The resident restaurant was average.

no luggage cart no elevavator I can not do stairs,room had a not so pleasant odor in the room.,,top of toilet tank was dirty n had some kind of hair on it that was not ours...n I paid for two standard queen beds n had to take room with one bed,,

This is a property that desperately needs renovation and probably rebuilding. The management is helpful and friendly enough but the physical property is just getting old. The "continental breakfast" was as scant as the management could make it. The on-site "restaurant" is called the Amazonia. I never saw a customer inside it. The forward facing rooms with 2 beds are more modern and are satisfactory. The rooms in the back, upstairs up a staircase, with a single bed are very small. Our floor was uneven. The ironing board was held onto the wall with a single screw coming out of the drywall. Corners are chipped. Room carpet was not vacuumed. The beds were fine, linen was clean and fresh. The bathroom was cramped but clean, and the shower and hot water were satisfactory. The back parking lot was neglected, to be charitable. Dead plants in planters, weeds, loose gravel rather than pavement, derelict RV has been parked in the back for years. This Days Inn is a value at $92 per night in the Ridgefield/Branchville/Redding market where there are are literally no other motels. I have stayed at this motel several times for visiting friends in the area, but I do not know how it retains the Days Inn franchise rating. I hope that an investor can come in and modernize the property.

Exterior door locks not functioning.

The greeter we checked in with was not cooperative. My elderly parents were with us and despite having a first floor she would not place my parents on the first floor room, they had to carry everything up to the 2nd floor. Their room was small with a double bed. Under the night stands were sticky bug traps. Our room was on the other side of the hotel second floor. The first room we were in the door would not close completely. The second room wasn’t much better. We asked for another towel set and were told there wasn’t any available until morning. The bathroom door would not close completely. The room was incredibly hot and it took several hours to cool down. The beds in the room we stayed in were over 3 feet off the floor. I’m 5 foot and it was difficult to get in the bed. Morning breakfast was nothing more than a couple of stale generic English muffins and brown orange juice that would not mix together. The coffee was very good. Checking out in the morning the same person who checked us in at night was on. She didn’t make eye contact or said anything when we checked out. It was awful! Not handicapped accessible or have handicapped parking. I would not recommend this location at all!

The room was fine but the parking lot and sidewalks need to be redone. Also, there was no one at the desk, you had to ring a bell. Breakfast was terrible - coffee was cold, no milk etc.

It’s was a horrible room. Spots and small holes on sheets. Smelled musty. Furniture was old, worn out and stained. Bathroom had mold on caulk and rust. Walls and doors were worn out and stained. Wallpaper peeling. The light and outlet next to the bed didn’t work. The remote control was filthy. I was afraid to touch anything. When I left my room for a bit, the door wouldn’t lock from the outside. I went and got the manager, I could tell he saw that my tv and room light was on. I put the do not disturb sign on the door. I told the housekeeping not to enter my room. When I got back a few hours later, my light and tv were turned off. I know the manager went back and turned it off. He should not have entered my room when the do not disturb sign was in the door. I was very upset. My cousin said the tag line for the hotel should be “you’ll never stay twice”. Never again. It is not representative of Days Inn and Wyndham. Wish I could get my money back.

Filthy - couldn’t stay the night.

I found a bed bug in my bed on the first night of my stay

The room and building were so dirty and disgusting we turned around and walked right out. Do not book here.

Staff courteous. Room OLD, bathroom clean. Shower great. Carpet old & Stained. Couch stained. Dead spider on wall for yrs. killed tick/spider as I came in room. Kept shoes on 24/7.

Property was run down and in poor condition. Room was dirty. Bathroom had dirty washcloth left from previous occupant, shower head fell apart, floor still had hair/dirt all over and grime around all the edges. Bathroom door was grimy and very warped. Fridge and microwave were unplugged and had to be moved and plugged back in but took too long to cool down to be usable. Mirror and tv had dirty streaks.

Really Bad. Room cigarette smell. Dirty carpet and door. Dirty and smelly blanket. Moldy bathroom and dirty door frame.

Mold smell in the room, yellow stains on towels and sheets, brown stains on the floor we had to keep our shoes on the entire time and found a used condom under our sofa. The housekeepers don’t clean and it was such a horrible experience. Never again will I stay here or any other hotel with Inn attached to it!! Beware of this place!!

This was the most disgusting hotel in which we have ever stayed. There were stains on all the walls and furniture. Our son’s pillow had a blood stain on it which he discovered. The toilet seat was cracked in half. Dirty, balled up tissues filled the tissue box in the bathroom. It smelled overwhelmingly like marajuana. We had arrived late in the evening after a long drive, so we didn’t have any other options in terms of finding another place to stay, so we had to just tell our kids not to touch anything. We will never be staying at a Days Inn by Wyndham ever again.

That hotel was not the best hotel to stay with family because they were bed bugs on the beds, dead bugs everywhere on the floor, especially behind the couches the beds in the fridge. The door was broken. The carpets were stained it smelled, and it was just horrible. We tried to switch rooms and every room they showed us had bugs crawling on the walls dead everywhere. housekeeping was very rude when we wanted them to clean the bugs up and very unprofessional. I recommend never staying here unless you don’t mind the bugs in dirt.

Was looking for a cheap place to stay for one night and booked this hotel. Glad I did! Super nice for a Days Inn. Quiet and peaceful. Room was huge and had a full kitchen. Can’t believe it was such a great price near the train station. Would stay again!

Noise from other rooms all night, key didnt work , just had them open it with there master key , so i could get in and no key if i had to leave

A very old and outdated hotel. The room was old, no usb outlets to plug in anything. Carpets are old and dingy, so are the drapes. Looked like it has not been remodeled in over 20 years. Bathroom is very old, tiles are from the 90’s, dirty grout lines and the toilet needs to be replaced. Very old and dirty. The seat on the toilet is so old, the plastic is chipped and peeling away. Same with the shower, very old and dirty fixtures. This hotel is more like a truck stop motel that’s good to rest while driving if you don’t care about aesthetics. Walls in room have holes, furniture is stained and it’s not very welcoming.

Average but huge Room, fast internet, good breakfast, enough to fill up, free onsite parking, good staff.

The guy behind the desk was very nice and check in was smooth. Our room, 208, was ok. Newly renovated. But My siblings rooms were awful. One looked like a crime scene w dried blood on couch and door. The outside areas were worn down and dirty. Place is really a dump. In fact, I may contact Wyndham hotels because their name is on this place.

Bugs dead in the room. Giant carpet and upholstery stains. Toilet didn't work. Funky smell. Everything about this was one star. I booked it hoping for 2 stars and it made me regret

Aging hotel/motel. Window air/heat conditioning was dirty, could see the dirt accumulated inside the grill, not safe for breathing. Window curtains needed repair, e.g hems were torn out. Refrigerator had rust on the door base. Bathroom: nightlight did not work, we had to leave the light on in order to see our way there during the night. Clean towels were not provided, had to reuse. There were rooms where people actually are living there. Do not recommend this facility for travel bookings.

I would consider this hotel a low budget hotel (it hasn't been renovated, the carpets outside the hotel rooms on the second floor smelled of smoke and the bed was not comfy (it dipped in the middle) and the overall vibe, though not bad, was just not in line with the $200/night that I paid. At least the sheets were soft! I very rarely leave reviews like this and have no problem staying at hotels that are not renovated or are in average condition but do have a problem paying $200 night for that kind of quality. I would invest your money elsewhere.

Moderately clean room, smelled bad and found some trash. Shower was broken. Beds were nice enough to lay out heads but would not come back.

Friendly staff. Well maintained, older hotel. Comfortable.

There was a mistake in the booking and the hotel had me arriving on the 15th and leaving today. I am arriving today and leaving on the 17th. I have booked at another hotel in the meantime. The proprietor of the Wyndham refuse to change this and hung up on me. If there have been any charges to my credit card I will instruct to stop payment. I will also raise this issue with Wyndham Hotels.

Very very clean and the managers were very nice and helpful. Good value

Like I told the front desk when we were leaving! We got the key to our room and then when we returned they gave our room to sone one else thank god we did not put our things in in the room

If it wasn't for the manager it would not have been a good stay, but he went out of his way to make it good

This was a very last minute booking, as snow kept me from getting home and I needed to make arrangements to stay overnight somewhere, but figured this was a brand I recognized and could work with. The girl at the desk was on the phone when I arrived as well as the next morning, and seemed bothered to help me and annoyed by my questions, such as if there were anywhere I could fill my water bottle. She informed me there was no water anywhere on the facility other than that available for purchase. She would also not match the online price, so she instead watched as I went through the whole process of an online booking, rather than just helping me in person since I was already there. The room was enormous which was great, and even had a couch and felt almost suite sized, however there were cigarette burns and stains to the couch, hairs on the bed, and a flat sheet laid over the bed rather than a fitted sheet. I figured I would at least enjoy breakfast, but was unimpressed by the plain slices of bread, incorrectly labeled cereal that looked like it had been there quite some time, and half of a single bagel....and still no water. :(

Always accommodating

Wonderful staff. Very caring and accommodating

Good location.

Careworn room, pleasant front desk person, very close to highway. Onsite restaurant was blaring very loud music on outside speakers.

Thank you!. Great value conveniently located

Comfortable hotel in a good location. Convenient to restaurants, shopping, etc.

It was convenient and room was spacious for the four of us. It’s close to downtown, clean, spacious and did the job.

Ok. Not a lot of options of places to stay. On busy, fairly loud street. Was billed 2x for room, but fairly quickly removed. Were only there one night.

Best place to stay in Ridgefield CT! Don’t know what we would do without it. Need to visit family in the area regularly- everything else > 300 a night in town.

Only reasonably priced hotel accommodation in Ridgefield proper

Loved the people working at the front desk and the restaurant next door was so so good!

The breakfast was very poor

Continental breakfast instead of full breakfast which I was told they had when I called. Unable to adjust hot water properly to take a shower- took forever to get hot water and then it was too hot and I couldn’t get it cooler!

The room was dirty, with flies and gnats. The so-called breakfast was a joke, a total distaster. The presentation was an insult - - just a few items thrown together - - and the coffee was undrinkable.

This is definitely just for a need to have a quick stopover on your way somewhere at a cost-effective price. Yes the carpets are dingy but beyond that it's fine with comfortable bed and clean room. The so-called breakfast was only bread for toast and dry cereal. I have stayed twice now and I would go back as a comfortable stay over.

Breakfast was lackluster to say the least.

It was poorly lit, the mattress was way too soft, there were no tissues and it was on the cold side. Also, the in-room coffee was terrible and there was no plug for the bathtub. Breakfast was bad even for a continental.

Overall this was great and fine for staying. Beds are super comfortable. Bathroom walls and doors are filthy and all need to be wiped down. Ceilings all have signs of either mold or leaks in walls and need to be repainted. Run down motel but we would definitely stay again. Onsite restaurant/bar is great.

The room was fine but the parking lot and sidewalks need to be redone. Also, there was no one at the desk, you had to ring a bell. Breakfast was terrible - coffee was cold, no milk etc.
