“Great stay, great staff”

We had a great stay at the Lloyd. After a family member went into early labor, we had to book same-day hotel rooms for 4 people. Samantha Nieves, a wonderfully helpful and friendly front desk staffer, helped us book rooms that had early check in and were on the same floor. She made a chaotic few days seamless from a lodgings perspective. The accommodations were also comfortable and newly renovated. My only piece of advice is to add a trashcan to the front lobby area!

“NYE Stay”

Hotel was nice, no free breakfast and no free parking which are downsides. Also we weren’t able to go to happy hour because they were renovating the bar area so I don’t know why they offered it to begin with. The room was nice and clean though.

“Weird parking. Good walkability.”

Located in the heart of Stamford, I figured parking might be an adventure. I pulled up and parked at a meter in front of the entrance, but later realized there's space between the meter and the front door for cars to pull close to the front without paying a meter.

Located in the heart of Stamford, I figured parking might be an adventure. I pulled up and parked at a meter in front of the entrance, but later realized there's space between the meter and the front door for cars to pull close to the front without paying a meter. The llobby has about 8 steps from street to lobby. The lobby is nicely appointed, with comfy, stylish furnishings, a gas fireplace, and a bar at one end. The staff at reception were polite and professional. The parking choice was valet for $30, or an affiliated garage around the corner for $17 a day, with in and out privileges. I opted for the garage around the corner. It was easy to drive to, and the staff gave me the code for the elevator in the garage. It's easy to exit the garage on foot and walk around the block to the hotel. But when I tried navigating the garage labyrinth to the elevator, I got turned around every time. The Lloyd placed some signs on the floor to guide you toward the elevator, but they need more. Within the garage you have to go up a small set of stairs and through a door that leads to another level of garage, then to the Lloyd's elevator cubicle, where you enter a code (that you get from reception), to enter, then take the elevator which takes you to the lobby, or to any floor in the hotel. The room was very clean, apart from pink stains dotted on the sheets, which I failed to notice until the morning. They were laundered but permanently stained. The bathroom was stylishly dark, but the excessively dim lighting rendered makeup application next to impossible. Ladies, bring a lighted makeup mirror. The usual amenities were fine. My room, 612, had no closet, but there's a row of hooks along the wall, with hangers provided. No carpet, just vinyl flooring, gave the room kind of a clinical feel. The lights are all very low wattage. Strangely, there was a pendulum lamp in the corner that needed a table underneath, but there was no table, just two chairs against the wall. I banged my head into that low hanging light a couple of times. The bed was comfy, and the TV was fine. Temperature control was fine. What killed another star, for the review, was the tiny "store" at the lobby. I expect prices to be on the high side, but this was ridiculous. Pony bottles of Modelo for $8. Bottles of wine starting at $60. You can walk 15 yards to the lobby bar and get a full-sized beer for $6. At those prices, they don't exist to enhance the experience. It smacks of some executive thinking, "Hey, we can really exploit our guests at this part of the hotel. " Another annoyance was the lack of food on site. No restaurant, just the bar. The restaurant the Lloyd is affiliated with was unappealing. The fare was pizza, wings , etc. I would expect a better class of restaurant for the affiliation. I dined at Divina, a short walk away. All in all, not bad, not great, and I'll stay elsewhere next time.
