I rarely write review unless something is fundamentally wrong. I am frequent traveler with over 200 nights a year in hotel. But his hotel will not be on list to stay again Few things: Kitchen closes a 9 PM (good luck if you arrive 10:30. No bar service after 10 small plate at bar. Associates constantly on their phones not attending service. The worst no breakfast on a Wednesday morning. You cannot demand $400 a night and have this abysmal guest service, Elevator not clean etc..

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Blake Hotel in New Haven, and it has swiftly ascended into our top 5 favorite accommodations, a prestigious list that includes the likes of the Ranahan in Breckenridge CO, the Four Seasons in Celebration FL, and the Tennessean in Knoxville. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the valet service, who exemplified courtesy by opening the door for my wife and swiftly unloading our luggage from the rental car. The lobby greeted us with its immaculate cleanliness, and the check-in process was remarkably swift. Our room was located on the fourth floor, a king luxury suite that was notably spacious, encompassing a small kitchenette, living area, and dining space in an open but comfortably vast layout. The bathroom, featuring a single sink, was adequately sized for both my wife and me to prepare for our days. Furthermore, the bedroom was so spacious that even with our luggage, the room felt amply large. If there was any minor quibble, it would be that the floors and ceilings seemed a tad thin. My footsteps echoed, and the sound of guests above us was noticeable, but this is to be expected in a hotel setting as opposed to an Airbnb, making it a negligible issue. However, on an intriguing note, during our 5-night stay, we received a call from the front desk just three minutes after entering our room on the last night concerning a noise complaint. I explained that we had just arrived and mentioned our 8-year-old with Down syndrome was simply walking around the room, to which they responded with understanding and advised us to continue with our evening without worry. Later, around 10 p.m., after my son got out and then back into bed, another complaint was lodged by the guests below us about supposed running and jumping. I reassured the attendant that we were merely walking and humorously suggested that the complainer, seeking utter solitude, perhaps ought to have opted for a cabin in the woods instead. The attendant, sharing in the light-hearted moment, informed us they were obligated to make the call but encouraged us to disregard it. It's empathetic to acknowledge the staff's position in dealing with such difficult complaints. Overall, the hotel was magnificent, the staff exceptional in ensuring our stay was memorable, and we would unequivocally choose to stay here again!

My siblings and I booked a stay at the Blake Hotel this past week. We arrived to lovely desk agent and went to our rooms to shower. Immediately, after turning the lights out a medium size fat ran across the floor from the window side of the room to the refrigerator. The desk agent refunded the cost of the stay and we went to another hotel. Noteworthy details: There was a rat in the room.
