The Blake Hotel

“Great spot near Yale campus”

Beautiful, modern hotel very close to the Yale campus. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant was delicious. If you’re visiting Yale, this is definitely the place to stay!

“Great experience at the Blake Hotel”

The Blake was not only a great value and very comfortable, but also awesome rooms with everything we needed. We had a great stay and would highly recommend.

“Comfy, cozy, pedestrian”

Hotel experience is excellent. Rooms were clean. I got the best sleep ever. Just note, avoid parking if you can. During busy times, the valet seem understaffed.

“room was decent, but door didn't lock properly and the staff didn't care”

Pros: The location is extremely convenient, near Old Campus, the Yale Art Gallery, New Haven Green, and many restaurants. The staff were friendly. There is parking available (though it's valet parking, for a fee). Cons: On arrival, the deadbolt on my room door did not work. I went back down to th… Più

Pros: The location is extremely convenient, near Old Campus, the Yale Art Gallery, New Haven Green, and many restaurants. The staff were friendly. There is parking available (though it's valet parking, for a fee). Cons: On arrival, the deadbolt on my room door did not work. I went back down to the front desk to alert them to the problem, and the person staffing reception came back up to the room with me and confirmed that indeed, it did not work. I was told that maintenance would be contacted. The following morning, I asked at the front desk and the person there was unaware of the issue but asked maintenance and they said the problem could not be fixed. No one expressed any regret about this security problem, nor the inconvenience of having to spend my time dealing with a maintenance issue rather than spending time with friends at the reunion I was attending. All I was offered was a much less desirable room on a lower floor right above the valet parking lot, with no view of anything but the parking lot, and no discount. For the eye-watering prices the Blake charges, I would expect either a functioning room or at least profuse apologies and prompt resolution of the issue, but got hardly more than a shrug and wasted time. Other than not locking securely, the room was mostly fine, but this experience soured me on the Blake. Prices are high. The rates are extremely high for rooms w/o any deluxe amenities. They asked $15 for a single bottle of craft beer at the front desk, or $8 for a can of Narragansett. Minor annoyance: I like watching my own streaming stick on hotel TVs, so I can follow my favorite teams, but this TV was situated such that no HDMI jack was reachable, so no MLB or WNBA for me. And the closed system with Netflix didn't work very well. Please ditch the proprietary portal and let us watch our own entertainment in peace.
