Odd place.
Very jaded, decor from 70's. Mattress was very hard and you had to eat a very limited breakfast in your room - cereal and toast.

Choose this hotel for the closest to town and parking. Super friendly owner made us very welcome. We had every thing we needed in the room. Plus it was very quiet considering so close to town.

One night
A one night stay in central Stamford worked well. Very old building and very quirky. I called to see where i could park and the owner came out and showed me a space in his car parking area. Breakfast was in a fridge in the room with fresh milk , cereals, tea coffee etc which was fine.
Be prepared for small stairs!

Candlesticks stay
For the price we paid it was comfortable but in need of some updating. The host was more than accommodating and very friendly. Even though I said it needed a bit of updating we would stay there again
