    We stayed at the Blake for a night when we were in New Haven this past Fourth of July weekend. I picked it for its location, but it turned out to be a really nice stay overall. The location was everything I'd thought it would be - walkable to everything on the Yale campus and some great restaurant and bar options. The room was also huge and very comfortable (it seemed as large as three rooms in other hotels)! The customer service at the front desk was great (very helpful). Parking is valet only so keep that in mind when you're looking at the price of a room. They have a bar downstairs, but it's the bar on the 6th floor that is definitely worth a visit (great views, tons of plants, open air - it's beautiful on a nice day). And the gym was great, too - large, with great equipment, very comfortable for a workout while staying at the hotel. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay for a day of exploring Yale and New Haven!

    We do enjoy staying in boutique type of hotels, so we tend to look for those when visiting somewhere. My other half has stayed here before on her own, but I haven't. Wasn't tough to find using a GPS map, look for the driveway as you pull in, it takes you directly into valet. Friendly greetings as we arrived for check-in, check-in process was fairly straightforward. As we checked it, got settled a little, unpacked, went to dinner up the block, came back an hour or so later, got comfy, about an hour of enjoying the room, while chillin on the bed, I noticed something move across the baseboard.....shiiiit, it was a mouse!!! Ran from behind the kitchen lower cabinets, behind the dresser cabinet, across the length of the room and hooked a left behind the AC unit. Then ran back to where it came from. We didn't panic, we decided to get up, call the front desk and explain what happened and requested a new room. They were apologetic and came up and delivered a new key to a different room on a different floor. We packed up and left to go to our other room. No other offers were made or any comps, no follow up from any managers or mention during check-out. The next few days, no issues with the other room. We definitely looked around and banged on the cabinets to see if anything ran out. It's a nice modern looking hotel, a bit pricey, good location to Yale, a lot of restaurants and cafe's around, they have a water refiller, nice gym, valet guys are quick, but with the unfortunate pest issue after we checked-in, I have to give them a 2 star. We will probably consider looking at other options when back in town.

    Spent New Year's Eve at the Blake and stayed overnight, as friends were hosting a private party there. The room was spacious and very clean. As far as the dinner service, the food was very good and the drinks well made. The lobby was a tad busy, but I chop that up to there being multiple parties going on on NYE. I def would return to eat, drink and stay.

    We had a nice stay here over valentines day weekend. The rooms seem to be geared towards extended stay and come with a full kitchen. I liked that the lobby was pretty big and had lots of space if people wanted to meet up, study or just hang out. Hopefully we can come back when it's warmer so we can check out the roof top! The bathroom was super nice and spacious. I really liked how modern, clean and stylish the hotel was overall. All the staff I interacted with were friendly. We were able to get a Saturday dinner reservation at the Hamilton Park bar which we appreciated because it was super cold that weekend and we didn't want to walk anywhere. Negatives: We were not able to call valet from our room so it made us a little late one morning as we were waiting quite a bit. I felt that the kitchen was not necessary for our purposes and wish some rooms came without it.

    This hotel recently opened up in New Haven and my friend was raving about how beautiful it was. We went on a Friday night for a late bite and I was impressed by the decor of the lobby/restaurant. The architectural layout was superb. We sat at the bar & I got a scallops & fries based on the feedback from the waitress. For my drink, they didn't have a sweet wine so she mixed Prosecco with a flavorful liquer which was pretty decent. Food came out quickly and I was not impressed wholly. The scallops were good but the fries were so underwhelming. I'm a fries snob so I know good fries. My friend's pasta was also lacking in taste per his comments. So why 4 stars? Well the staff is why they are receiving 4 stars. Our waiter Braheim (spell check) and our waitress, (her name escapes me) were amazing. Even though it was late their demeanor was welcoming and they took their time serving us. Service like that is hard to come by. So I'll definitely be back to hang out at Blake with this crew.

    I loved the beautiful, modern, spacious rooms and the convenience of having the kitchenette features. I was on the 4th floor and didn't hear any of the street noise that's common in this area with ambulances constantly driving by. This was a huge relief! The rooms were very clean. The full equipped gym is amazing!!! Kettlebells, kick boxing, weights and the other standard cardio equipment. The restaurant was really packed during dinner and looked to be a popular spot. It doesn't offer the option to bill to the room. The rooftop bar is currently open from Wednesday- Sunday and looks fancy. Fast internet and easy to connect. Super combenkemt to Yale! I have platinum status with Marriott and diamond with Hilton but none of the chain hotels offer anything close to the amenities available here. The rates are all comparable. I think the speed and friendliness of desk operations could be improved but fairly understandable for a new hotel. It would have been nice to get a rewards system but really not a deal breaker given the nearby options. Would definitely return and highly recommend!

    So glad we discovered The Blake! We were intown visiting our daughter who is a student at Quinnipiac. The lobby was comfortable and inviting. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. We look forward to our next return and trying out the restaurant!

    Beautiful modern hotel with great rooms. Valet parking is available. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and spacious. The restaurant and bar are both solid. Customer service was great. Walking distance to campus and various restaurants. I would stay here again for sure.

    Seating area in lobby- privately tucked away. Games are also on the table, inviting you to stay awhile

    See all

We opted for the inn side rather than the deck side, because the inn side has more entree options. We each opted for our own appetizers. Caprese salad, clam chowder and shrimp cocktail were ordered. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers very much. I had the clam chowder. It was rich, creamy and delicious. The clams were very tender and the chowder was loaded with clams and potatoes. For entrees, most of us opted for the hot lobster roll. It was overflowing with lobster and was accompanied by drawn butter, crisp fresh fries and a very tasty coleslaw. One of my friend opted for the sea bass. The presentation was beautiful and she said it was fresh, light and delicious. All of our cocktails were excellent too. I also must be sure to give credit to the wait staff. They were very attentive and I felt comfortable the entire time, as they were following all the guidance provided by the state. It was nice to relax and reconnect, in person, with my friends while enjoying a beautiful sunset. Such a gorgeous view from the deck! Thank you, Amarante's. We will be back and I'll be sure to tell my friends and family about our great experience.

A 5-star private social club in the Platinum Clubs of America, it is situated on Whitney Avenue near the Yale University campus, and two blocks from Ingalls Rink and State Street (home to Modern Apizza, our favorite in the Pizza Capital of the World). The New Haven Lawn Club offers five comfortable, spacious overnight guest rooms and one suite, a main dining room seating 200, and a grand ballroom seating 300 that was being used for a wedding reception the night we stayed there. The fitness center and four squash courts are open 24x7. Outdoors, there is a pool, toddler pool, eight Hart-tru tennis courts, two paddle courts and a playground. Guests enjoy free parking and wifi. We enjoyed pre-game cocktails in the bar off the Grill Room, accommodating 100, where lunch and dinner are served Wednesday-Saturday, and where seasonal Sunday brunch and supper are available. A unique feature of the club is art exhibits hung in the rotunda outside the Grill Room. Rebuilt in 1931 after a fire destroyed the original two years earlier, the clubhouse was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It also is designated A New Haven Landmark by the New Haven Preservation Trust.

The hotel is conveniently located a block or so from campus off Chapel St and is centrally located, very walker friendly. Check-in is at 3pm but we actually arrived into town a few hours early due to snow where we were at. I believe you have to do valet when you stay here, so we just pulled up to the designated area on the curb. Check-in process was straightforward, our room was ready, provided all the particulars and we were on our way. They do give you info on the morning coffee, amenities, etc. Room was pretty nice and boutique-y, nice snow capped campus view, our bed was a Queen but it was pretty big. Shower was nice, sink area was good, nicer towels and great body wash/shampoo. Wish the electric plugs were positioned differently, wifi was strong, overall the room was fine, nice design and furniture. We didn't have any issues with noise or ac/heat. No small fridge. Coffee is complimentary downstairs in the morning, there is a little market you can buy stuff too. If not, a few doors down, there's a great little coffee cafe. Hotel has a restaurant but we didn't try it. There's a small gym on the 2nd floor(looks like an hotel room they converted into a gym), complimentary bottled water if you need to grab a few for your room. Location is great, we walked everywhere, campus is only a few mins away, plenty of restaurants around, easy to get back onto the highway when we headed back to the airport. Staff at check-in was nice, informative and helpful. Check-out, not much discussion with the front desk guy, he just said we were good to go and emailed me the receipt when we turned in the keys. 5 mins before you head to check-out, call the valet and they will pull your car around and have it ready on the curb for you with friendly departures.

    The Study at Yale is a cleverly themed hotel on the edge of campus surrounded by cafés, book…read morestores, and museums. There are shelves of books in the lobby and one of the upgraded rooms offers a specially curated book collection. Promotional items include book marks and graph paper. There was ample street parking on but we opted for the valet parking, under the building, for $32 plus tip. The desk clerks and valets were prompt, polite, and went out of their way to be helpful. We checked out early and left our luggage with the desk clerks while we visited The Peabody Museum and had lunch. We enjoyed the walk to The Peabody Museum, which was a little less than a mile, and included passing the Yale Museum of Art, crossing the green, and the New Haven Museum. The room was clean, and I believe we had a "city view" room which was comprised of the top of one building, a parking garage, and some other buildings. Not great, but definitely a city view. We didn't have a chance to try the hotel restaurant or bar. In the morning they offer coffee and tea in the lobby but we didn't have a chance to try it either. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would stay there again.
