First off, when I checked it it was only one elevator working for the entire hotel to use. The concierge's lounge didn't serve breakfast, they served food for only 2 and a half hours and there wasn't much variety in the snacks that were offered. The one night I did manage to get food, it made me sick. I was sick all night throwing up. They only had one microwave I. The entire hotel for guests to use which was located next to the service desk. So if you were on the 5 floor you would have to go downstairs any time you wanted to heat up food. At least have one on each floor.I stayed there a week and room service cam to my room only once the whole week even though they say they offer housekeeping daily. The food was ok in the restaurant in the lobby (pictured) but nothing to really write home about. I had to ask for trash bags to put in my garbage cans. The staff however were really nice, but I think they are severely understaffed. There were also several events going on like a prom and a graduation which just made staying here more inconvenient for business travelers. I will not be staying here again.

Stayed one night on a business trip. Our company booked a block of rooms for over 80 employees. Our flight was delayed and we ended up checking in three hours later. By that time, they only had a room for me with two full-size beds available. My wife came with me and it would have been nice to have a King or Queen sized beds. Room and bed were comfy, but the ceiling was dirty. We didn't have time to peruse the hotel, but I heard they have an indoor pool. They had hot breakfast buffet available serving scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, but it would cost you $15.99. Marriott should make this complimentary and the price is definitely not worth it for me. Good thing, it's included with our room.

"Satin and lace, isn't it a pity? Waitin' for night to fall Girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow This is the night to go to the celebrity ball" (Three Dog Night) Last night I attended a charity ball and banquet for the Arthur C. Luf Children's Burn Camp at the Trumbull Marriott Shelton. The evening started off with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour in the spacious corridor by the ballrooms. There was a huge charcuterie table, pulled pork, cheeseburger, and fried chicken sliders, and butler service with trays of eggrolls and mini franks in a blanket. I skipped the sliders, and had a little of everything. I really liked the eggrolls best. There was an open bar and a self service soda station, and a big room across the hall where a slew of items were auctioned off. I was fortunate to win the auction for some restaurants gift cards. When it was time to sit down we were ushered into Grand Ballroom Salon F for dinner and the formal program. We had a table for eight and dinner included a nice basket of mixed rolls, a dinner salad, an two entree choices The first was a beef/chicken combination with mashed potatoes and carrots, and a sweet potato gnocchi plate served solo for the vegetarian choice. Coffee and a fantastic slice of chocolate cake wrapped things up. The service from everyone we interacted with was excellent, and the ballroom sound and speaker system were perfect. Oh, and they have a great location, pretty much where Route 8 and the Merritt Parkway criss-cross.

I stayed here one night for a conference. Sadly, it was when the worst of the smoke was happening and I didn't go outside. I had a standard king room which had a lovely view of the roof. The room was well appointed but missing an iron and shampoo. I ate the breakfast buffet which was nice but not $13 worth. I've had the same quality and better buffets included in the room price at lower quality hotels. I did hit up the bar with colleagues and the bartender did a nice vodka soda. Picking seem to be slim in the area but it was still a nice stay.

3.5 This is a decent place to stay at in Trumbull especially if you are usually out and about and just there to rest your sleepy head. However, the rooms are outdated and could use an uplift. The elevators were a bit jumpy as well and could use an adjustment. Aura and Seeta took care of me for the days I was visiting Connecticut. They were very kind and helpful (rate 5 for them) If you are a Bonvoy member that has access to the lounge, there are limited hours. You can't just go in anytime.

Do I recommend this hotel? Maybe. Depends what you're in town for. I was in town for 1 night for my husband's high school reunion so this was perfect and nearby...we just needed a bed and a shower. Our room was clean, tv worked, shower worked, hair dryer worked...no real complaints except dangit, I hate scratchy towels!!!!!! Husband did mention this place used to be the sh*t, there used to be a bar or club in here and everyone would come and party. "Where are you going?...Trumbull Marriott." Now she's a little aged and definitely needs some TLC. We didn't get to take advantage of the pool, gym, restaurant or room service but the families hanging around seemed pretty content I guess. Also, I did notice that when I got off the elevator and onto the floor of my room it smelled like cigarette...kinda like when you used to visit your friend's house after school and their mom was a chain smoker. The smell of cigarette is embedded in the walls and carpet, it was mild and not too offensive but definitely noticeable. In the morning you can hear the sound of hotel doors opening and slamming which is a pain, but I guess expected.

The Surfside Hotel

(33 reviews)

My siblings and I are planning to gather in Lordship Township, which is part of Stratford,…read moreConnecticut, to celebrate my sister's birthday in January 2025. Our family has gathered here for about 30 years, for holiday dinners at our mom's house, which is in Lordship Township, right on Long Island Sound. For all of those years, those of us who traveled from a distance would stay at Marnick's, a locally owned hotel that's right on the beach near our mom's house. Our mom passed a few years ago and I hadn't returned to Lordship Township since then. On a whim, browsing online for hotels in the area, I learned about The Surfside Hotel. I learned that Marnick's had closed and that a while later Surfside emerged, sporting a whole new vibe. Prior to committing to recommending a sibling gathering there, I spent the night last week at Surfside. I'm happy to report that the upgrade is impressive. While the rooms now cost more than they did when Marnick's owned the place, the prices are well within reason for the area. I took an Amtrak from D.C. (about 6 hours), paid about $12 for an Uber/Lyft from the train station, and arrived to meet Iona at the hotel's front desk. She took my information and offered that she'd been there for about 2 years and the present owners have been there for about six years. All the features of the hotel appeared to be solidly restored and improved upon. I had a second-story room (21) with a balcony looking out to the Sound. There was a complimentary coffee bar with self-serve coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fruit, and snack bars. There's a beach-reading library, so I contributed my copy of Rachel Kushner's recent novel, "Creation Lake," which I finished reading on the train ride from DC. There were no downsides. There's a decent efficient fitness center that includes a Peloton and free weights. There's a map of the area suggesting pleasant walks along the seawall, Russian Beach, the Prospect Light House, and Long Beach Gatehouse. There are paths taking hikes of two miles, 3.6 miles, and five miles, and a suggestion for a longer bike ride. The main reason for this visit was to see whether the siblings would be able to stay on site for meals. There's a well-populated bar and restaurant attached to the hotel called The Little Pub (see my Yelp review.) There's also a neighborhood Italian restaurant and bar half a block away. There's a deli and an adjacent pizza parlor three blocks away, where I picked up a single slice of pizza and a portion of carrot cake. The Lordship Corner Market is right next to the pizzeria, and has sandwiches, newspapers, and sundries for days at the beach. For those with cars, I can recommend the Cricket Car Hop, a mile or two inland, for great hot dogs, burgers & fries (it was a favorite of my mom's, and we went there just about every time I visited, but I wasn't in town long enough this time to visit). Things to keep in mind: Surfside is a small business, not part of any chain. Iona needed to know when I was likely to arrive, to be sure someone was available for check in. No one was at the front desk when I checked out (but I received a check-out acknowledgement shortly after 9 a.m. the day I checked out). I believe pets are welcome (I saw a service dog there as I was leaving in the morning). There are no elevators, and my room was on the second floor. The hotel is still using single-use plastics for the shower, and the tub lacked handholds. But the vibe is good . . . we get the aloha and mahalo greetings, suggesting Hawaiʻi roots. The innkeepers report that "Boy knows nothing about running a hotel, but restaurant comes with a hotel attached so it's all or nothing. Boy must convince Girl it's a good idea. Girl is not impressed. Boy breaks into song. Girl is impressed and says YES! Restaurant and hotel are redone, there is singing and dancing, and everyone is happy." True Romance! Mahalo

I enjoyed my stay here for the most part. I booked an oceanfront room with a deck top balcony…read more Lovely room with a beautiful view. The Little Pub downstairs is fun and the staff is great. Having said all of this, the lack of front desk staff is unfortunate. Supposedly there from 8am-8pm but often not present. After 8pm things can get very loud in the hotel hallways. There is no one to contact if there are problems which is disconcerting as a guest.

I love this hotel…read more This is my second time being here, always accompanying my boyfriend on his business trips. Every time I have joined, I have never been anything less than blown away by the cleanliness, comfort and friendliness/helpfulness of the staff. The complimentary breakfast that comes with the room, is a huge boom. They have everything you could possibly want, from cereal to a fresh hot breakfast. Besides the breakfast, the food you can purchase at the bar it's self is delicious, fresh and always comes out hot. I have only had the buffalo wings And grilled cheese myself but both were delicious. I can only imagine how great everything else is. The rooms are pretty spectacular. This time around we have a king size studio with a kitchenette. Smaller but almost full-size fridge, electric stove, dishwasher, cooking utensils / vessels and a living room with a pull out couch. A huge plus is the vanity being separate from the shower and toilet. Great when you have to share a room with someone so you still have complete privacy. All in all, great place to stay. The beds are comfortable, the people are nice, the area is fantastic and you have everything you could ever need at your fingertips. I'm very thankful that this is the preferred hotel for my boyfriends company.

The lady checking me in was friendly and professional. The room was decent; it appeared to be a mix of old and needing to be refurbished with partly refurbished. An example would be the bathroom had the new style shower that replaced bathtubs, with has the barn style glass door and long floor drain and is in modern textures and colors, but the rest of the bathroom is brown - Thus the entire room is very mix-matched. The bedroom had scarred furniture which was old, but the bed was comfy. Why does this matter? Because when I'm staying in a hotel it needs to be at least as nice, comfy, clean, and appealing as my own house - it should always be better. These places that are dated aren't appealing. The location is decent... I'm pretty sure I've stayed here years ago when I used to go to events at Yale for several years, as I stayed in nearly every Marriott property in the area back then. It's close enough to highways, New Haven, etc. It's just over an hour from BDL too. Will I stay here next time I'm in town? Doubt it.

The Bistro restaurant is closed indefinitely and this was not displayed during the reservation process. Parking lot smelled heavily of marijuana.

This hotel probably isn't used to capacity crowds, but last weekend's storm has left so many New…read moreEnglanders without power that hotels for miles around are filled with power-outage refugees. The result here is a full-to-brimming hotel, which makes the thin walls and echoey hallways especially problematic. Without the mobs and their noise, this is a fairly standard no-frills hotel. Comfortable enough, but stripped-down amenities and loud heater/AC unit in the outer wall brand this as a low-end place. (In fact, paying north of $100 for this feels wrong.) I've seen complaints about the Wi-Fi here, though it's working just fine for us. Repeatedly having to click "I Agree" gets tiresome after a while, but for free Wi-Fi, it's doing the trick. The hotel gets three stars instead of two, though, on the strength of this morning's breakfast-room staffer, who quietly navigated the overstuffed space, dodging slow-moving elderly guests and fast-moving children (and their bouncing rubber balls), efficiently stocking and restocking the muffins and bananas and waffle-maker supplies.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for something a notch above your Knights Inns, Super 8s, Howard Johnson's, and Motel 6s. Make sure you shop around online for coupons prior to booking to get the best value!
