The Blake Hotel 9 High Street, New Haven, CT 06510

"The Blake Hotel took extraordinary steps to accommodate our unforeseen needs. An amazing staff, with special shout-out to front desk manager Marissa Gray."

"Lacks flexibility with their customers. Colleague tested posted for COVID So I had to change my reservation last minute to two weeks from today. I understand every hotel has a policy but they wouldn’t do it unless they charge me an unreasonable fee (especially since they still have rooms available for both dates)."

"The hotel is decently located. During the weekend they have parties in the rooms and it is extremely noisy. They only have one concierge at the desk at night so that means that no one is able to control the noise. The walls are extremely thin so you’re able to hear everything that your neighbor does. I would think twice about booking this place. The concierge is not super helpful. At one point they had 10 people in the room and were not able to police it. The elevators don’t require a key card to enter so security may be super lax."

"Lovely hotel. Really nice relaxing feel to it. Rooms are great and we enjoyed drinks at the bar and dinner. Location good for Yale, shops and restaurants. WI Fi was annoyingly weak though and no option to sit down for breakfast which seems odd. We couldn't access the rooftop bar unfortunately as there was a private event that evening."

"Exceeded all expectations! The Blake Hotel is really a special place to stay with a beautiful décor. The staff are so welcoming and efficient, we never had to wait to be seen at reception. The hotel smells so good, as well in the lobby as in the rooms. Everywhere are welcoming small details and you feel right at home in a hotel which pays attention to the little things. The rooms are incredible with super comfy beds and extremely well equipped kitchen. The huge bathroom has a large walk-in glass door shower and high sink and counter area with bathrobes, plenty of towels and all the amenities. The location is perfect to do everything by foot in Downtown and close to many restaurants and Yale Uni Campus (400m to Old Campus). Parking is via valet behind the hotel for $28,-- per day. We will definitely come back here and highly recommend this absolutely gorgeous property."
