Find the Cheap Shelton Hotels

I stayed at the RI in Shelton CT for a travel assignment in May of 2020. This company and hotel is amazing! It is located in a very safe area, I was only 10 minutes from the hospital. The complex is quiet and clean. My room was very large and felt like a private apartment. It had a full kitchen and even though I brought dishes and pans, I didn't need too. They provided everything. I broke a glass mixing bowl and they were not worried about the damage, they just wanted to make sure I was ok. The housekeeping service was on hold for the cleaning room due to COVID but they provided everything I needed to keep the space clean and my sheets and towels fresh! I honestly felt so welcomed and even though I was away from home I had my cats with me so it made me feel comfortable and at ease. The Staff even wrote me a note during nurses week. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I am forever thankful to the RI staff!

We were in the area for a celebration of life. The rooms are newly renovated. There was a slight odor in the corridors from the paint and carpets, but the rooms were wonderful. The Bistro staff was friendly and enjoyable. The food was good, but not a lot of options.

I recently started a new job at a brand new company and was tasked with assisting with a training seminar being held at our headquarters in Shelton. I worked with John Snider over at the Hilton in Shelton to reserve rooms for our guests as well as reserve their conference room. He made the process very easy and he was very flexible. The travel arrangements as far as who was coming what days and how many days was quite complicated as our training seminar was divided in two groups. John did not hesitate whenever I needed anything. He was very responsive. The staff was kind to all of our guests and the rooms were spectacularly clean. The conference room looked very professional for our meeting and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out. Many thanks to John Snider and the entire Hilton team in Shelton for making my very first training seminar a very successful one!

I chose this hotel based on its online photos, indoor pool with water slide and decent reviews. We were a large group all attending a wedding nearby. And the rest of the group all booked at this hotel after we did. Huge mistake. First, we planned to spend the day of the wedding by the pool with the kids until I read here that you have to book a ONE hour time slot. Not only that, but when I called the hotel to confirm I was told you can’t book ahead, or even at check in. Booking doesn’t open until 7AM the morning you want to use the pool. So if you want to guarantee a big group gets in at the same time you have to set your alarm for 7AM, and wake your whole room calling down to the front desk. I tried speaking to a manager beforehand, but only got the run around. When we checked in Friday night around 8pm, we called down for a pack n play and were told they were all out! Apparently they have THREE cribs for over 100 rooms. Front desk told us it’s a common problem at the hotel and we should have checked in earlier as they’re first come/first serve. They were ZERO help as to where our baby was supposed to sleep that night, and acted like it was our fault for having to work and then drive into town that night. If this is a common problem, why wouldn’t they just buy a few more cribs? They could have Instacarted one that night. We had to go buy a crib! When we moved the chair to fit the pack n play we bought we found dirty, open food wrappers with food still in them! My toddler has food allergies so this wasn’t just gross, but also dangerous for him. When we ran out of shampoo/conditioner before the wedding we called down to housekeeping, no response, so I went down to the front desk. The receptionist literally told me I’d have to “stalk the housekeeper” to get some, because she didn’t have any. Luckily, a manager stepped in and did say she’d send some up. But that was the basic attitude all weekend, the guests problems are not their problems (even though they were hotel related). There was also a domestic incident at the hotel that night that involved screaming, yelling, dog barking, and required a police response. This, of course, wasn’t the hotel’s fault. Overall, though, look elsewhere and save yourselves the hassle. ESPECIALLY if you have a baby.

The hotel is conveniently located at the high-speed exit. Hotel facilities are old, but health is OK. Although there is breakfast, it is very simple. Fortunately, there is a small kitchen, asking the hotel to borrow kitchen utensils for Chinese food, very good! There is a big supermarket 700 meters away. I bought a dish and I am eating it myself. It is very comfortable! A good experience!

I had ankle replacement in NYC and spent 35 days at Homewood Suites recovering. Staff were wonderful to work with. The manager brought me a get well balloon and a Homewood Suites fleece throw. They accommodated cleaning while I stayed in the room since I was elevating my ankle above heart height 90% of the first 2 weeks and 60% of next 2 weeks. There are a number of good restaurants you can order takeout from. Wednesday evening soup, salad, wine and beer nights were always very pleasant. On the days that were warm enough, and once I could get around a little on my knee scooter I enjoyed the large 2nd floor patio facing woods and the river even though you could hear a little road noise there. Inside our room there was no road noise. In 35 nights there were 1 or 2 when we were aware of a children’s birthday party partly being celebrated in lobby area we were close to. But even then not much noise or for long. Furniture shows some wear and accessible living room needs better lighting. When our son and his family visited we saw that regular 1 BR suite has more lamps and better lighting. Very nice staff. Very accepting of our corgi and our cat. I highly recommend this hotel

This Marriott was the worst Marriott I ever stayed in. Walking in from the outside you could see it wasn’t being maintained, no landscaping and leaves everywhere. Everything about the hotel was dated. Nothing was maintained: carpet is coming up, wallpaper is peeling in the rooms, multiple stains on furniture. The health club is abysmal. Two very small rooms: one with cardio and one with weights from the 1970s. The pool is old and small. This hotel has never been updated and it’s absurd that they charge money to stay here. I have stayed in hundreds of Marriotts and in general would recommend most, this one has been seriously neglected.

We stayed this past weekend for one night (thankfully) and while entering the hotel front doors we were suddenly greeted by a huge construction site upon arrival. Now I understand properties update but this was over the top and the property should shut down to fully complete the renovations rather than continue to book without disclosing the information during the reservation process. This is not a good business practice and fair to consumers. First, the major renovations should be noted prior to booking as it is throughout the whole hotel and is causing major hazards and multiple inconveniences throughout the stay including plastic sheets hanging throughout the halls causing confusion as to where to go and trouble navigating with children and luggage, wet paint in many areas, carpeting taped down or ripped up and rolled in the middle of the hallway, high scaffolds blocking entrances, loud construction tools being used, dust flying throughout the hotel, no front check in area, no convenience shop to purchase drinks etc. Since we had already paid and it was after 4:00 we had no other option but to stay. We hoped our rooms would be a different story than what we encountered in the lobby and halls. When we entered the two rooms we booked we noticed they were outdated, however knowing now they were being renovated we gave them the benefit of the doubt. However while we were in the rooms we noticed many things completely unacceptable, such as lights not working (including the lights right next to the door when you entered), black mold in the high corners of the bathroom, food left from previous guests under the ottoman (which means they did not move them while cleaning), no soap left in the bathroom soap dispenser, broken shower doors and shower head, hair in corners of the bathroom and shower area, paint peeling and chipped off of the wall and the AC unit not cooling with a mildew smell. We also heard people yelling out by the pool area overnight and noticed one person sleeping out in the chairs. Needless to say we barley slept and left as early as possible the next day. While we were leaving the front desk staff or person sitting down looking at a phone near what would be the area of a front desk barley even looked up to acknowledge us all packed up early and checking out. Never once did they apologize for any issues that were clearly going on at their hotel. Be aware of the positive reviews on their main site and other sites and if you do need to book a room, clearly ask about their renovation status.

The room was large enough and the location was quiet. But the interior of the room is average.
