We loved our stay there! It was close to Fairfield University. We stayed for our daughter’s orientation date and it was comfortable, clean, and a quick drive to the university. We will definitely be back for future stays when visiting.

We had a wonderful stay at The Watershed. Upon arriving it was very simple to find a parking spot. The staff greeted us with great personalities and professionalism. Our rooms were extremely clean, comfortable and quiet. There is a wonderful rooftop patio with plenty of comfortable seating and lounging. There was coffee, tea, muffins, oatmeal, granola, juices, breakfast sandwiches, plenty of fruit and a waffle maker with waffle batter in the lounge area. There is a restaurant attached which was very nice with great views over the river. I did not drink at the var but it was a very nice looking bar. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great hotel to stay in Norwalk.

Beautiful new property, with nice view and friendly staff! Breakfast was not worth the time, it was very basic and nothing exciting...more like a holiday inn express breakfast! Room and bathrooms were wonderful!

Really lovely hotel at a very reasonable price point. We got upgraded immediately (without asking or thinking to ask) which was a nice touch. The bed was really comfortable and the room was spacious with lovely design choices. We only had cause to stay one night. I wish we could have stayed longer! We'll be back.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was excellent. Great lighting, very comfortable bed and bedding, and a great design. Checkout staff were friendly, and I'm glad a colleague recommended this hotel! Check-in was the weak spot. I arrived around 6:45 pm to an empty desk and waited seven to 10 minutes with no recognition of the wait or an apology. I also received no information about my room location, amenities, or the complimentary continental breakfast, so I missed breakfast and coffee the next morning. I also had to track down a QR code in the room just to find the Wi-Fi name and password. A simple card or a note on the key sleeve would help. A stronger, friendly welcome would make this an easy five-star stay. I'd still recommend it!

Fabulous decor. Looks like a high end boutique hotel. Excellent service. Free breakfast was not of the same quality as everything else.
