It's been a while

I visited here about 5 years ago and it's improved a lot since then, at least the rooms have. They're a lot more modern and feel clean. The TVs have Roku installed but you can still change the HDMI to input anything that you have with you. The beds are hard in my opinion. Bathrooms are pretty basic and ours had a chair for some extra assistance if needed in the shower.

Solid local hotel

Stayed overnight while visiting colleges in the area. Overall the room was good. One complaint is that the rooms were a little dark once the blinds are drawn. Three lamps help somewhat but celinging/overhead lights would be best.

Had a very nice stay at this property for a night while in town for a college tour with my daughter. Rooms are well kept and very clean. Could use a few more amenities, such as a box of tissues and a dirty clothes bag. Bed was very comfortable. Property was conveniently located to downtown Fairfield, Fairfield University, Sacred Heart University and Westport.
