Motel 6, Branford

This was our (my husband and my) first trip out of town as a family and without parents of our own; we were looking to make this trip go over with ease. We couldn’t have asked for more. We stayed in Branford so that we could see Connecticut and still visit NYC with excellent time to the BDL; the motel 6 (which we visited online) was the most economical choice since San Antonio’s cost of living is less than that in Connecticut. The motel was a two-story with front and back entrances to the motel rooms inside the building; the rooms being inside, instead of lining the building outside, gave it a more pleasant, safe feel. Our room was a double bed, non-smoking at the rate of $47.49 (internet rate) a night for $351.06 as a week’s total. The clerk was pleasant enough—it wasn’t Southern hospitality, but not rude either—and the cleaning service was obliging. The only problem was the toilet in our room: it had a leak so that whenever we flushed a little (fresh) water would drain out onto floor. There’s a gas station, Walgreen’s, and a movie theater across the street; connected to the Motel 6 is a type of delicatessen that we hadn’t gotten a chance to try but we bothered them a lot for information. All in all, our’s was a pleasant experience and we would absolutely stay with Motel 6 again.
