The greeting at the lobby was very random when checking in. Seemed my booking had come through as ambiguous name - not my fault - but it felt very much like my fault. Strange but could have been handled better. It was almost embarrassing Room was nice but very very cold temp on entering. Also, room was very very sparse. Felt uninviting. Not a great view for the price. Could have reviewed this a little on check in

Lobby very nicely laid out. Room was nice.

The valet took an excessively long time to retrieve my car, taking over 30 minutes.

I absolutely hate barn doors because they don't lock or close completely. Be prepared for that with the bathroom of all places. The artwork downstairs is hideous, but that's not important. I didn't like having to ask after attempting to check in, if the room was ready. They should've been looking for me to tell me the room was ready.

The room was spacious. It was clean enough for a hotel (I do my own additional cleaning. The towels looked clean enough, but I brought my own. My favorite part was the kitchen with a microwave, stove, and even dishwasher!!! That means you could totally bring your own food. However, there is a bar/restaurant downstairs. There are MANY local restaurants and things to do nearby if you want. Quite a bit is within walking distance. For a city, it wasn't too crowded or loud outside.

Our main issue was with passenger and luggage drop-off at the entrance to the hotel. We had bikes on the back of our car which we wanted to unload, and the valet parking area is very congested. The staff tried to help us, but it was stressful not having enough space and then having to back out into the street. If possible, I suggest that the hotel set aside more space for unloading and less for parking. It's an awkward situation that makes checking in and out difficult. Also valet parking at the hotel is expensive. There’s a cheaper multi-story parking lot a block or two away at 231 Crown Street (less than half the price of valet parking).

Our experience overall was positive. Front Desk Supervisor Aisha Bello was helpful and answered my emailed questions quickly. She also helped us check in and took care of everything we needed. The hotel offered secure storage for our bicycles, which we appreciated. Our room was quiet and had a nice view toward campus. The hotel is a few blocks from some good restaurants and the Yale University Art Gallery and Center for British Art.

Geez, what‘s not to like? It’s sleek and warm and smells delicious. The staff is unusual because they actually try their best to make you feel like you are welcome and appreciated.

My tv in the room didn’t work but the front desk was very kind and accommodating. Moved me to another room. One or two staff members seemed annoyed about helping with bags/luggage cart, but all others were very attentive and kind, including valet and housekeeping.

The fitness center and the restaurants. Most of the staff is so very nice!

I was up early, spending time in the lobby, and the night manager, a lovely lady, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We chatted and I appreciated the warmth and conversation. The room was excellent, modern and had everything I needed. I appreciated the free water!

The property itself was great. The front desk does not have the capability to do anything with cash and be weary with the vallet parking if you drive something with a manual transmission

The Blake itself is very conveniently located. There are many fantastic restaurants and things to do in walking distance of the hotel. The room was well appointed and clean.

The reception needs to improve their greeting to the guests.

The room is perfectly clean. Shower room is nice, having small kitchen is so convenient for us. Hopefully we can stay in this hotel next time.
