The Carriage House is our go to place to stay when visiting family in Hamden. Not only are the rooms modern, clean & affordable, the staff are welcoming! We love this hotel & highly recommend it to all!
Was perfect for me safe easy parking and didn’t have a motel feel it was more of a comfortable feeling. The area could be questionable, but I felt secure at the hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
No staff on premises. “Contactless check-in”. No restaurant nearby.
Convenient location; clean room; room spacious with unusually high ceilings for a motel; interior furnishings OK but not exceptional. Window opened, which we like. Exterior appearance is of a somewhat run-down motel.
BUT: Astonishing level of traffic noise starting 6 AM and continuing through evening and into night. Rooms all face the nearby highway.
ALSO: No staff at desk or on site. Check in by calling the "desk clerk" in a distant town, who helps you access a lock box with the room keys. Apparently, if you need anything you wait until housekeeping shows up the next day. For example, for two people they provided two Keurig cartridges, enough for one cup of coffee each. If you'd like more, as we did, you have to wait until housekeeping gets there (mid-morning?). Want anything else (decaf? tea? different pillow? another blanket? more towels?), I presume you have to wait for housekeeping as well.
Minor beefs: No electrical outlet anywhere near the desk. Flimsy plastic toilet seat tended to fall down. Very low lip on shower pan that barely held the lower edge of the curtain, so that without close attention water ended up on the floor.
Rated 9.6 on Expedia with >500 reviews (many of which apparently dated from when there was still a staffperson on site) -- I don't know how that could possibly be. Ignoring the noise and absence of staff, I would have rated this in the low 7s. With noise and no staff on site, under 5. Felt misled. Cannot recommend staying here.
The check-in person was very helpful, including offering to move luggage and provided a phone number if we needed anything. The room was as expected and I would stay at this location again.
From the outside, looks like a motel so I was a little dubious about the very positive reviews I read. But then - the room was beautiful - more like a high-end rental than a hotel room. Completely renovated, tastefully decorated, and spotless. Staff really nice, too. The only downside is the highway noise, but the location is convenient. Will be back!
We had a great stay at Carriage House. It was clean and comfortable, and they were able to accommodate my late check in with a simple process. The room seems to have been recently renovated and has everything we needed.
We enjoy staying at the Carriage House very much! The owners and staff are very attentive and responsive. The rooms are very fresh clean. The beds are a pleasure to sleep in after a long drive it working day. We stay here all the time when we come to Hamden to visit family.
Nice little hotel. Very nice decor. Clean and well kept. Staff very friendly. Easy, contactless check in process. Close and convenient for where we have family in Hamden. Would definitely come back here.
