Decent stay with exception of very cold pool. Asked if heat could be turned up and desk said up as high as it goes. Kids tried twice but couldn’t get past the cold temps. Was so disappointing. Beds comfortable but pool def not up to par.

The Holiday Inn Express in Branford is comfortable and clean, with a very kind and helpful staff. Jen in particular was a huge help by letting us check in early when we were still exhausted from our flight. I've stayed here twice now and couldn't be happier with the service and comfort they offer, and in a great Branford location!

We love the consistency we experience at Holiday Inn Express - great breakfast buffet, full workout center, and a room that meets all our needs. The Holiday Inn Express Branford-New Haven was no exception. The staff went out of their way to help when needed (they even gave out earplugs for a solid night of sleep!) A special shout out to Ricky, who took time to chat with us during our first stay to the area and made us feel oh-so-welcome. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Signed, mama-n-daughter look-a-likes 😉

Our recent stay was wonderful. However there was one day where the breakfast was an issue. It was only 8:30 am and the eggs had run out. When my husband asked if more eggs were coming he was told there were no more eggs that day. He also overheard her tell another man the same thing. Things were rectified by the regional manager who happened to be there that day.
