Courtyard New Haven Downtown at Yale, New Haven

The old Holiday Inn near Yale's campus has been re-invented as a Courtyard by Marriott. Prices seem to have risen, but room quality is on the rise as well. Bathrooms are cleaner, and at least the floor I was on did not have that strange industrial cleansing agent smell that used to plague parts of the hotel in its former incarnations. Between the location and the basic quality, I'd say its the best deal in New Haven. Just don't expect outright luxury.
