Residence Inn Shelton Fairfield County

I was hesitant pulling into this Residence Inn, because, as others have noted, it is not the typical Residence Inn footprint. It is more like a motel, with many separate buildings, and units that open right onto the parking lot. However, this was a great stay. We arrived at about 10 PM on a Saturday night. When the front desk staffer immediately thanked me for my Titanium status, I asked her nicely if she had any upgrades to anything with two beds. She upgraded me to a “penthouse suite” which was essentially one bedroom apartment with a loft that has a separately bed and bathroom. It was extremely spacious and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked. A family could comfortably stay here for a long time. The next morning, the hot breakfast was at least average Residence Inn quality. The reviews below would have deterred me, if I had read them, so I’m glad I didn’t.

Great location and maximum comfort. Staff was EXCELLENT!!!!

price was a bit high. Saw it was lower earlier in the week

It was excellent great customer service, clean and well maintained

Major complaint was the dishwasher had a horrendous smell that ran my family and I out of the room. It smelled like something was dead and the whole room was engulfed in that smell in minutes. The coffee mugs also were not cleaned.

Great stay. Convenient close to highway, shopping, lots of dinning options. The suite was big, all fully stocked, full kitchen. Private enough that does not feel like youre in a hotel, with all the great amenities of a hotel stay. Free breakfast option was great. Cleaning staff and front desk very helpful. Will be back.

The rooms are outdated. The bathroom in the "suite" I had was too small. Poor design of the room in general.

The 2 bedrooms was excellent for us. Does need some refresh and updating

Quick stay but well worth it
