What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 230 guest reviews
The Blake Hotel earns consistently strong praise for its stylish, spacious rooms, prime downtown New Haven location, and genuinely warm staff, making it a standout choice in the area. However, a recurring frustration is the lack of reliable breakfast service and limited restaurant hours, particularly on Sundays, while smaller operational issues — slow valet, dim lighting, and occasional maintenance oversights — suggest some attention to detail is still needed. Overall guest sentiment is highly positive, with most reviewers expressing a clear intention to return.
