I make trips to Danbury 3-4 times a year as part of an event I organize and host in the area that brings 100's of out-of-towners to Danbury. Since 2004 I have stayed in at least a dozen of the different Danbury area hotels at least once. I have been recommending the Maron as a primary option to my mailing list since 2009 when I first started staying at hotels in the area, and renewed this suggestion for Maron as our "primary" option since I relaunched my events in 2022. As of March 2025 I'm giving The Maron an indefinite time out after my most recent experience - which resulted in a stressful, chaotic interaction on-site and my having to pivot on the fly to scrabble for alternate accommodations. Unbeknownst to dozens of guests who thought they had iron-clad reservations on the weekend of March 7-9, the Maron was sold to another company (Riverbank) in Feb-March 2025. Due to the sudden change in ownership/management, the new owners of the Maron 1) decided to do room renovations to over 2/3 of their existing rooms on site while staying open. They also 2) said that reservations made with the former owners/management were not compatible with their new computer reservation systems. That meant 3) the Maron was overbooked by an unknown amount of reservations - possible in the double digits - and what's worse 4) they didn't inform anyone who had existing Maron reservations in advance that the hotel was double/triple-booked and that they couldn't guarantee rooms to anyone, whether they had an old or new reservation or not. I walked in at 3:30pm for check-in and there was a crowd of over a dozen potential guests all being told this crucial, urgent info for the first time - in the Maron lobby and not by email, or phone. I asked one of the staff, point blank, "so this means that a reservation I made three months ago that was confirmed does not guarantee me a room at your hotel tonight?" The staff member shrugged and said yes. I referred to what was happening as a disaster (I used stronger language than that) and the staff member had the pique to tell me that, actually, it wasn't a disaster, and that he would be unhappy to see me seek accommodations elsewhere. He spoke to me as if I had a guaranteed room at the Maron waiting for me (I didn't, according to him!). I rebooked with another hotel on the spot, and several other guests did the same. Other people I knew that stuck with the Maron that weekend told me that they booked them into not-yet-finished rooms. And that the staff on site didn't actually know which rooms were still in progress and which weren't. So they were walking guests upstairs to their rooms, telling them they could look at the room first and then decide if they wanted to stay in it. This meant the staff asked the guests to do a room inspection on their own and check that the heat was working, that there was electricity (lights, televisions); that there was a working phone in the room; that there was hot running water and that the toilet was flushing properly. I don't know if these guests were getting room discounts for the "privilege" of playing Deal or No Deal with their Maron rooms and checking them out with the staff watching them do it. Another friend who persevered and lucked into a room there told me he had a room with no hot water, no heat, and a flooded bathroom before he got to the room so the rug outside the bathroom was soaked. Not a great look. In addition there was no coffee station or amenities of any kind (I suspect they didn't have any staff including cleaning services that weekend). Walking into the hotel was like walking into a tomb, or the Overlook, or the set of The Sting where they were faking a false front hotel. I understand that the property didn't want to close for renovations because of optics and because the Riverbank didn't want to lose business. But their decision to work through it was disastrous. It ruined 2 decades of customer trust in the blink of an eye for many regular guests that were hosed that weekend. Including me, and dozens of other people that chose the Maron because of my recommendations over the years. As I mentioned, I organize an event in Danbury. More than half of this group that comes to Danbury to attend travel at least 60 miles or further to do so. Many come from as far as the tri-state area, New Jersey, PA, Vermont, Maine, and DC. As part of my promotion for my events I send out listings of suggested local vendors - restaurants, shops, services, etc. that I say are reliable and worth supporting when we visit. The Maron was on that list among other area hotels as usually the top suggestion. After the trainwreck of an experience in March 2025 I cannot recommend this hotel unless and until their renovations are complete. Maybe. But honestly, it would be difficult to want to come back after the terrible first impression the Riverbank brain trust gave long time Maron customers that weekend. V unprofessional. read more

Rates are great, affordable, clean, rooms recently upgraded, great staff. Continental breakfast a little thin, apples & oranges in a basket, tiny muffins in a plastic bag. Overall great place to stay while traveling or on vacation. When in the area again will definitely stay. read more

For a last minute find, the hotel was very nice. Close to the main highway and located near tasty restraints. Front desk receptionist was very helpful and accommodating to our early arrival. We was able to check in early it's no problem. She was very friendly as well. Lobby and rooms were clean. The pictures found on their website and the internet match and fit the description as well. Continental breakfast is free with your stay but we learn their restaurant was not open so hot breakfast was not available (insert sad face) . I recommend this hotel if you are staying in the Danbury area. I will stay here again for my next trip read more

Originally a one star review because I'd never stay here again. I do want to compliment the staff of the hotel though, they have all been super helpful morning and night and they were the best part of this hotel. Still not staying here again though read more

Stayed here for three nights. We have a suite which is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Great pizza across the street , Stanziato's. Shower is not very good , bad shower head , and the room was too warm so we had to open the window. Outside temps in the 50's . read more

Last winter, I had an emergency that left me in dire need of a hotel. The Maron hotel provided me with immediate accomidations

Terrible! Room wasn't ready at 3:00 as posted. Manager was not on premises, computer was down. We drove around the area waiting for a phone call that our room was ready. When we called then to inquire, we were put on hold and then hung up on. Tried calling back and no one answered. They finally called at 3:30 with lots of excuses. They upgraded our room. However the noisy air conditioner went on and off all night. Street traffic noise was loud. Coffee in the room but no creamer. Requested, but never got it. Couldn't reach housekeeping or front desk with phone in the room. Now for the icing on the cake. They claimed to offer continental breakfast. This consisted of a plastic bag with an orange, an apple, a bagel and cream cheese. Where's the coffee? Oh, no coffee....you've got to be kidding. Young man at the front desk said they've gotten many complaints, but management doesn't change anything. All this for $120. My advice: stay away!!! read more

Great king sized bed. Spotlessly clean. Wonderful shower. And real crystal wine glasses.

My stay was great! For starters, my friends and I threw a gathering in the hotel's bar, Vivo Bar & Grill, and the service was excellent. But more importantly, I mistakenly left all of my prescription medications behind. When discovered, The Maron staff immediately mailed them back to me so I wouldn't have to go without. That is some damn good customer service in my opinion. Thank you to all of the Maron Staff! read more

Booked this for a wedding for 8/28 on 8/26 my guests started getting calls saying the hotel was overbooked and suites that they reserved were being downgraded to rooms. Went to check in on 8/27 at 5 pm and find out the air conditioning for the entire place is broken and would not be repaired that night. Went to the bridal suite and the room temperature was over 90 degrees. When guests in my party complained at the desk they were told they could go elsewhere. Ended up going to Home Depot at 9 pm and buying a portable ac to make the room bearable. Many of our party left and went to reputable hotels in the area. The day of the wedding we had a charter bus scheduled to shuttle guests to the wedding but because of the hotel incompetence our guests had left so we paid a thousand dollars to shuttle six people. I have never reviewed anyplace before but this place is an absolute nightmare. Also the clerk wanted to tell people to wear a mask but he stands behind the desk with his around his neck. Absolutely ridiculous read more

Room was clean and the staff was friendly. Ice machines on the second and third floors weren't working so had to go to the restaurant on the main floor to get ice. During the day it was sunny. The glass roof section in the atrium turns the third floor into a greenhouse - very warm in the elevator lobby area and in the hallways. It seems they were trying to save on the electrical bill at night as there were only two of four lights working outside the main entrance and inside there were no lights turned on all the way from the front doors to the area near the elevator. From the outside, it looked like the place was either closed, or un-inviting. Careful, the hot water is very hot. It was worth what I paid for my stay, but I did manage to get a good deal. it has a lot of potential, just needs to have the management polish the rough edges. read more

This place is cheap - for a reason. It definitely has not been updated in decades. Including the phones and TV and furniture. The fitness center is literally falling apart. The ice machines are unplugged. The walls are greying/yellowing with age. The breakfast is very limited. I thought it would be smart to check my mattress for bed bugs and fortunately it was clear, but I did discover a tag that shows the mattress is from a Radisson in 1998. Ugh. read more

Pros: - price is very competitive to alternative chain hotels in immediate range. - WALKING DISTANCE to Western Connecticut State University. Took a few classes and needed a hotel to stay at - great customer service. - pleasant staff. Greeted with smile - rooms clean. - front desk accommodated an early check in. Cons: - Internet connection was in and out......ok mostly out. read more

I was told this was a good hotel. When we showed up one of the front doors was locked. Are they trying to keep people out? When we got to the front desk they had three clocks on the wall one for West Coast time one for Europe and one for local time. The one for local time was broken the entire time we were there. I asked the desk clerk and she laughed about it. I told her at least a broken clock is right twice a day. When I got my keys I was carrying all my luggage and I had to run back and forth between the lobby and the second floor because the keys did not work. When I got to the room the room was okay but the phones didn't work because of some power outage recently. The continental breakfast was a joke. Boiled eggs and some cereal. Terrible coffee. The coffee was weak and the room that the breakfast was in was totally dark when we got there. Forget about the fitness center it was also a joke. It looked to me like no one cared. Attention to detail is very important when you are traveling. I will never stay here again. read more

The place wasn't terrible, but had issues. First room I got, the toilet didn't work and the phone didn't work, so I had to walk down to the desk to tell them. However, they did upgrade me without me asking to a bigger room with a living room area after my first room. Breakfast was free, basic and nothin wrong with it. Staff friendly, it just kind of had a dingy feel to the whole place. If you need a place to sleep and not hang out, it's fine. read more

Hi I just wanted to write a review to this hotel for there kindness and for there help with locating where to go in Danbury! I have never been there before and I was there for a football game for college for my son. I had booked a room on Booking.com. Well of course once again I got to hotel and they said I didn't book a room. I have been having a real hard time financially with my family and they did everything they could to find me a room! Not only did they make my sons night but we had an amazing night! Thank you Maron Hotels! Hope to see you again some time to eat at that Bambu Restaurant across the street! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

No power at home, booked two rooms, spoke to them directly the day before, got an email confirmation 2pm the day of. 1 hour later, I get a call from them...overbooked and no more rooms. How does this happen? They had no response, gave me # for flea bag motel 20 miles away. They were completely callous to leaving a family of 4 plus a 5 month old puppy out on the street. Completely irresponsible people and uncaring read more

Unimpressed. The hotel is dingy and room is very old. Shower/Tub is in need of being replaced. Way overpriced for the lack of quality and room size. Room decor appears to not have been updated in years. Pillows were like rocks. AC unit very loud. no charging stations in the room. Just not what we expected for the price or advertisement of the hotel. We will not stay here again. read more

Just had a Valentine Weekend stay with my wife. Requested that a bottle of champagne and chocolate strawberries be in the room upon our arrival. Everything was delivered as promised. In addition, Mary Elizabeth upgraded us to the King Suite which had a larger whirlpool tub, at no additional charge. We also requested a 1 hour extension on our checkout, which was easily provided. Went downstairs to the bar, for some live guitar music. The continental free breakfast was simple, fresh and abundant. Overall, a great experience. Would recommend highly, and looking forward to our next stay! read more

This place is disgusting. Just stayed overnight there and I am disturbed that this hotel is still open. To start this hotel has not been updated since it was built. When we arrived the desk clerk still had to use a manual credit slip instead of a computer. Then when we get into our room it was obviously not vacuumed considering we found Cheerios as soon as we opened the door. The couch had tears and looks like something out of the 70s. The refrigerator, TVs and coffee pot are obviously from the 90s. Then we go into the bathroom and I was completely disgusted. There is no fan so there was mold on the ceiling as well as patch jobs never finished from leaks as well as damage from leaks never repaired. Now we get to the bedroom where the curtains are ripped to shreds and look like they haven't been cleaned ever. And the bed is the most uncomfortable mattress I ever laid on. I would have slept on the floor but I was afraid the dust bunnies would attack me. I go to the front desk to complain and there is no manager till Monday and no maintenance crew for a few days. I mean what kind of hotel does not have a manager on at least every day as well as at least an on call maintenance crew to try and at least clean up the mold on the ceiling. This place does not deserve anyones business. So I advise you for the safety of yourself and your family, DO NOT STAY HERE. read more

The hotel is a lot bigger and nicer than what the outside vibe gives off. There's no pool which is a bummer and the workout room was a little pathetic. The wifi is TERRIBLE. I used all my data from the weekend because being connected to wifi made it impossible to use my phone. The sushi place Bambu across the street is amazing and there's a stop and shop next door which is also walking distance which is very convenient. The hotel is nice and clean. The wifi and lack of pool are the only downsides. read more

Rooms are pretty nice and the service is great Mostly enjoyed how comfy the bed was and the vibe of the room is over the top but still enjoying nice for a quick stay read more

THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING, the Internet may as well be dial up, the floor is ripped and stained beyond repair, as well as all the furniture, I may as well be sleeping out on the street because I think that is where the mattress just came from and feels like. The T.V.'s are still here from the 80's, there are two different types of phone in this so called "king suite" one works but has no face plate to tell what the phone does, the other phone has a face plate but does not work. I'm supposed to be here 2 nights I've already made another reservation for the second night and if I could find another room for this night I would be gone but apparently there is some event with very few rooms in town open. In conclusion STAY AWAY FROM THE MARON HOTEL! read more

Had to attend a funeral of a dear family member and stayed at Maron Hotel. The staff was wonderful and considerate. The prices are reasonable and rooms great. Also there was a reception at the restaurant Vivo and the food was outstanding. Will absolutely stay there again. Thanks to ownership! read more

My wife and I we there for a wedding recently and we very very disappointed with this hotel. First off we pulled in and it looked as if there were drug deals going on in the parking lot. We walked in there was water dripping from there overhead in several locations and they had buckets catching the water. Our room keys stopped working three times the first night to the point where they took of our locking mechanism and didn't fix it. The window was crack from top to bottom and fixed with packaging tape. Lights shinned in the window even with curtains shut. There were very strange people wonder around the Hall ways follow the ladies we were with. They barely speak english! Food was horrible, there was a bullet hole in the hall window! Over all I wouldn't even give this hotel any stars. It should prolly be shut down. Very disappointing for the price! I wouldn't recommend this even for someone who is homeless! read more

Worst experience ever with this hotel. They were unorganized, lost my reservation, and overcharged me. Yes they have renovated so it looks nice but the horrible service ruins that. Stayed here to attend a wedding and wow! I'm not usually the one to complain but how do you guys even stay in business??? read more

My family and I had our home destroyed by a tornado and needed a place to stay while our home was being repaired. We have been staying in the Maron Hotel And Suites in Danbury, Connecticut. The staff here has been so good to us and have made us feel at home here. The managers, Brian and Mary Elizabeth have been so kind and helpful and have a staff that always goes above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They always hire helpful employees that provide excellent customer service, one of which is Wesley, whom always greets us with a warm smile and is a pleasure to see each day. They are pet friendly, have nice size rooms, a parking garage and a restaurant. In the same building there is a bank, post office, restaurant that delivers food to your room if needed and have a grocery store within walking distance. I know people don't hesitate to complain when they are unhappy but rarely take the time to say when they are provided with excellent customer service, so I wanted to take the time to thank everyone here and make it known if you are looking for a Hotel in the Danbury area this is the place to stay. The rates are reasonable, the restaurant provides room service and the food is amazingly good! Larry, the restaurant manager and one of the chiefs here, is so good, friendly and makes delicious food! Samantha and Larry always deliver really great food to us! The restaurant here is reasonably priced and the food is always delicious! Thank you Maron for being our home away from home and all you do for us every day! Suzanne Walker Rotchford read more

Stayed here last evening due to going to a wedding and the couple had rooms set aside here. That is the only reason I would be here. With the wedding party planning the wedding..and the hotel knew it was a mid afternoon wedding (since the hotel shuttle was being used to take guests to and from the venue), they wanted to let us check in at 3. (the wedding was at 3:30). After some discussion they allowed us to check in at 2. The front desk women felt it necessary to continue telling us how they were going out of their way to help us. Amyway, the room is in desperate need of refurbishing. The carpet is tearing in places, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The window was cracked in two places and,was being held together with duct tape. The tv is in an armoire and when the doors are open you can't walk in front of the bed without closing the doors. A positive is there was plenty of hot water. There is no way I would stay here again. read more

I stayed here recently for several days. It was very pleasant place to stay. it is a solid 3-diamond hotel. I found it very clean and comfortable, and the suite was plenty spacious enough for me. The service from the staff was uniformly very good. They even found a crib for my sleepy toddler very late the night I checked in. The continental breakfast means just that--continental breakfast--no frills. The restaurant lounge was very good; I enjoyed the dinners I had there, and they had an excellent beer and wine selection (and the pool tables were fun also). WiFi was free, but a little uneven. read more

This place is barely a hotel and is no different than Motel 6, only more expensive. The walls are thin and if you stay in a room facing the lobby you can hear all the lobby noise all night long. One of the staff members was wearing sweatpants and looked like she just rolled out of bed. The bed was stiff as a board (in both rooms) and the sheets were cheap. My wife and I woke up each morning sore and unrested. The internet didn't work the last two nights I stayed their and the front desk said that their phones hadn't been working all day. General junk show stuff. Lastly, my father had offered to pay for our room as a nice gesture and gave them his card #. I double checked that they had it and they said they did then they took my card down for incidental coverage, and assured my they wouldn't charge it then ran my card for over $300 dollars. The manager wasn't there when I called and didn't even have a voice mail I could reach. Bottom Line: Cheaply put together rooms with cheap beds and a staff that apparently could care less. More of a roadside motel than a "hotel and suites". read more

My fiancé and I recently stayed here for New Years. We booked a room with a whirlpool tub, but upon entering the room, the tub in the picture was most certainly not taken at this hotel. I would barely call the tub in our room a whirlpool. It was also dingy. On top of that after returning from dinner, we noticed our bathroom smelled of marijuana and cigarettes from another room blowing into the vent. We didn't call down to the front desk because it was New Year's Eve, and just shut the bathroom door. We noticed our card got charged for an extra $100 because they're saying WE SMOKED in our room and they found ashes. Let me make this clear, we have a small child and neither my fiancé or I smoke. To say they found ashes in the room is a straight up lie, and they just don't want to refund us our money. I would never stay at this hotel or ever recommend this to anyone. Go else where. Hell, the super 8 up the road is better than this place. read more

Stayed here because they were the host hotel for a college hockey tournament our son was in and they were "pet friendly" and we had to bring our small dog ($25 add'l fee!). Power was out when we arrived but generator was working so there was minimal light in the room. Room was old and didn't smell very clean. We weren't expecting anything great because we figured we got a pet room but there was no excuse for the condition of the room. Window had a crack in it and was duct taped and when we got back late that night from the tournament and the power was back on, we discovered dog poop in the corner of the room that was left over from the last visitor! We would have left right then and there but were exhausted and had a long drive home. Needless to say, didn't get any sleep all night because there was a loud rumbling noise that sounded like a train passing everytime the heat went on. We couldnt take it any longer and checked out at 6:30 a.m. Voiced my complaints to the front desk and got a half a** sorry. read more

don't say here!!!! this place is a joke and the people who run it don't care about you or the property!!!!! spend an extra 30.00 and stay at a better hotel...the breakfast is a joke!! and the rooms are dirty!!!!! read more
