What guests think

At Courtyard New Haven at Yale, travelers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near Yale, while noting generally clean, comfortable stays tempered by renovation disruptions, street noise, and some small or dated bathroom and room features.

Many guests highlight standout front-desk help, quick maintenance responses, and thoughtful problem-solving, though a few report miscommunications. On-site dining and the lobby bar are appreciated for breakfast and coffee, but breakfast isn’t included and prices can feel high. Overall, this is a solid base for Yale visits with warm service, but be prepared for urban surroundings, noise in some rooms, and added parking fees.

Hotel was very clean and the rooms are nice. Room was on a chilly 63 degrees when we got there but I can’t complain. Paying $25 for parking is a little crazy though

The Marriott Courtyard is a hotel a few blocks away from the Yale Bookstore in New Haven. Staying there was a mixed experience. The front desk staff were friendly. Only one of two elevators was working while I was at the hotel. There was no maid service in the two days I stayed at the hotel. There was a construction site right by the hotel that you had to walk by to access the hotel. All in all, not the typical enjoyable stay you would have at a Marriott.

Only three stars because they were renovating and there was a mess on the main floor and outside. The elevators were dusty from all the workers using it. On both days, we were told that the water would be shut off intermittently. If I had known, I would have booked elsewhere. Nonetheless the room itself was very nice and clean, the beds and linens comfy, and good service/housekeeping.

Rooms

Rooms are generally comfortable, with some spacious layouts, but bathrooms run small and street-facing rooms can be noisy due to thin windows or HVAC. Several guests mention dated elements and occasional issues like noisy AC or limited in-room amenities (no microwave).

Great location. Front desk staff was great. Rooms are small and obviously outdated. Parking is bad and insufficient. Very narrow entry/exit with concrete walls on both sides and very little room to maneuver. If you are driving anything bigger than a mid size sedan, be careful.

The windows in the room need to be replaced. Basically no insulation. It sounded like they were open and you could hear all the street noise. Very noisy. Took away from everything else about the room that was decent. Doesn't matter if the bed is comfortable if you can't sleep because of the noise. We were on the 6th floor.

I booked the wrong day. Even though the hotel was sold out, the manager found me a room. Even better, they honored the low rate for Sunday night on my reservation even though Saturday night was at a higher rate. They could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The hotel is recently renovated and looks great.

They were all very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the heat and Terrance came up immediately later at night and fixed it within minutes!

First, the reception desk staff were all excellent and friendly. I was given great recommendations upon check in. I did ask for a later check out the next day, and got the okay upon check in, but that was not recorded. The accessibility around the property, from the back parking lot, around the walks, ramps, corridors and into the room was tight. The bathroom sink was way too high and there was no place to put anything in there. I was on the street side and it was noisy. The housekeeper that morning was the loudest I have ever experienced. They must have been mad at someone because they managed to slam every possible thing for hours. There was no way you could sleep with that going on. If you have a lot of baggage, it’s going to be a pain to maneuver in this hotel and through the property. I will not return to this hotel.

The room decor is dated. Only one elevator was working because the other elevator was broken. That one elevator took forever because it was moving REALLY slow. Shelves in the bathroom are rusted and brown. There are cracks in the walls in the bathroom. I hung my paper thin robe on the hook behind the bathroom door and the entire hook broke off the door. The neighborhood is sketchy. We felt unsafe walking too and from the hotel. We heard loud music blasting from across the street all night…and dirt bikes being raced down the street…and we also heard what sounded like gun shots. Popeyes restaurant is located directly across the street from the hotel, which attracts a bad crowd of people. We bought breakfast for a family of four in the hotel, and the total cost came to $90. I would never stay at this hotel again.
