Motel 6 New Haven - Branford, CT
The man the helped check me in was super nice. I picked this place because i had an 8am flight & it was very close to the airport. Also the rate was reasonable. The room next door had loud music playing, so i called the front desk. Within 10 - 15 min they turned it down.
