Trumbull Marriott Merritt Parkway

The room is ok. Service is ok. The worst part is the breakfast buffet — after tax and tip — will cost you over $ 20. The food is worse than the free FairfieldInn breakfast. I feel that I was cheated!

When our junior ring dance pictures at my house got rained out last Saturday, I called the trumbull Marriott to see if we can use the lobby for pictures and they welcomed us graciously. It was a huge surprise to find that there were almost 200 students and parents from bunnell high school and the staff was wonderful. The general manager BeeBee (apologize for misspelling) and security guard James had the hotel guests that were checking in at that time feel comfortable with the crowd and managed to keep all of the students and parents in an area where we could capture all the kids together in photos. We thank you so much and appreciate you accommodating all these people unexpectedly. James filled many of the parents in on how good the hotel restaurant is and we are looking forward to trying it out!

Overall the Trumbull Marriott is a nice hotel to spend a couple of nights, dine or hold a function. The reason I do not stay at the Trumbull Marriott on all my Connecticut trips is only because of room availability. I would definitely recommend stay at this hotel if you are in the area.

Stayed here last week for last minute (just could not stand the traffic on Rt 15)
Check in went very smooth even though there was a plumbers convention going on. Rooms were clean, updated, smelled great, bed very comfortable (however needed a step stool to get onto it — legit even though I am 5 5.5 tall the bed came up to hips; I had to either take a running start to dive into the bed, fall back onto the bed, or just lift the legs to climb into the bed)
The bar — well that is another story, the price for drinks & food are reasonable and food is good. But the service they had only 1 experience bartender on & a helper who was doing the easier drinks who was extremely and I mean extremely slow with my drink — strawberry martini. My boyfriend received his 2 drinks compare to my 1 within 30 minutes. yes I know that there was a convention going on and the bar got busy… but come on…
All I have to say is shame on them for the lack of personal at the bar to service the public especially on a Thursday night & a convention going on… Shame on management!!!

I’ve been staying here for nearly five months for business and I’ve had an excellent experience. The entire staff is friendly and has gone out of their way to give my coworkers and me a good experience. What blew me away is the fact that on my last night staying here (tonight) I came «home» to a bottle of wine and a personalized letter wishing me luck with my music (I’m here as an IT consultant but they took the time to find out about my other interests). They also gave me a voucher for a free $ 18 breakfast. Such a fantastic group of people!

This is a great hotel. I use Marriott all over the country and this one is by far one of the best.
Nice staff and customer service, nice amenities, good food etc.
If anything the bar should expand their beer offerings. They only have local craft beers on tap unless you want bottled.
The restaurant is excellent with great seafood and a wide variety of menu.
They miss the point that most customers don’t come from the region!
I would most certainly recommend the hotel and will stay there again.
Parking and location is easy.

I really like this Marriott and this is a great hotel! I’ve stayed here several times and I have yet to be disappointed once!
PARKING: Pretty easy finding a spot and it’s free.
ROOM: Nice size, clean, good placement of furniture and nice toiletries.
SERVICE: Service is always good.
FOOD: Oh the food! Restaurant name: Parallel Post
This is by far one of the best hotel restaurants I’ve been to. They serve up a hardy and delicious breakfast (it’s kind of pricey though $ 12 – 15; I forget). The lunch menu is something out of a gastro pub. Very delicious food. My faves include:
1. Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Apricots, Pine Nuts and Pecorino (uh oh, mouthwatering…) It was because of this restaurant that I am now obsessed about Brussels Sprouts. Seasoned lightly, flashed fried to a perfect crisp and oh so flavorful!
2. House-​Made Chips, Feta Dill Dip: Kettle chips with the best dipping sauce with generous chunks of feta
3. Vegetable Wrap Portabella, Eggplant, Kalamata, Red Onion with Feta and Tzatziki on Pita — excellent; tastes like summer!
4. Grilled Chicken Breast w/​Roasted Tomato, Local Gouda, Dill Aioli: chicken done very juicy with the melted cheese, oh!
Only thing that bothers me about this place is the lack of Starbucks where almost all Marriott courtyard and Marriott chains always have one in the lobby and this place don’t. So it makes it inconvenient for me. However, if I really want Starbucks, there is one inside the target down the road.

Came here a couple months ago as they hosted a Bridal Show.
I will say, out of all the Bridal Shows I’ve attended this year, the layout of the show at the Marriott was well thought out, spacious and enjoyable.
Nice job. :)

I was here to attend a luncheon and stay overnight for a Pastor’s Installation church event in Bridgeport. I found the accommodations clean and comfortable. The rooms are well designed. The staff friendly and on point. I didn’t look at TV much only to turn it on by force of habit. However I found the television reception a bit grainy and HD not very good compared to my own HDTV at home. The elevator was a bit rickety and unnerving at times. The food at the luncheon was awful but the breakfast buffet was awesome! Nearby location by a mall is quite convenient. Fact that Marriott would only credit days and not points due to master billing was very disappointing.

On July 24 2010, the night of our wedding, my new husband and I arrived here around 11:30pm. We had received a stay here as a wedding shower gift. As I stood in the lobby in my wedding gown, I was told our room had been given away because the hotel was over booked. The man at the front desk had a very «don’t know what to tell you» attitude. We were more than disappointed (& exhausted) as we made our way back home.
A few years later we stayed here for my teen sisters birthday party. It was last minute and it was the only hotel in the area with availability. It was nice! Pool was nice, we enjoyed the hot tub (until we noticed green foamy stuff floating around with us), everything was modern and up to date. — I was a little annoyed that wifi is an extra charge. I mean, really?! You can go to mcdonalds up the road and use it for free but the marriot does not offer that? Kind of unbelievable! I got over it though.
Today we are here with our 1 year old for a mini valentines vacation, to use the pool and just relax. Things are not going well!
If you’re planning to use the pool, request to NOT be on the first floor. Other floors have the elevator that lead right down to the pool. It’s going to be interesting lugging all of our things completely for swimming across the hotel.
Still no free wifi. This review is eating up my cell phones data plan.
Went to give the baby a bath. Noticed it looked a little less than clean, as I’m cleaning it I notice lots of hairs that are not mine (this would be the first time using the shower for this stay). Then as I’m washing the tub and talking to my husband, I notice a bug (ant with wings type thing) climbing up the bathroom wall. then I look up to see brown spots all over the ceiling, they don’t look like water marks, and a few smushed bugs. I took pics, but not sure how to share them.
I finish cleaning the bathtub and then can’t get the drain to work. Probably a blessing in disguise.
I’m glad we didn’t book more than 1 night, not sure if I even want to stay. Not what I expect from a familiar name like «Marriott»

They have perfected any prior issues. Truly. Down to mobile check in and knowing my room location preferences.
I have Platinum now and am happy I will just make it in with the required nights to secure Platinum for all next year.
The food in the restaurant. The room service food. The concierge lounge food? ALL top rate.
And I am a new yorker… to add to that? A west village of manhattan resident!
I get homesick 18 hrs after I leave NYC for my 3 days of work most weeks. This Marriott? Makes it SO much easier to bear.
The only thing? And I am the minority. Hate the pillows. They are feather.
So few foam ones in the building.
They just changed the bath and body amenities brand and scent… jury still out on my opinion of that. But since I bore easy of ONE scent? It is fine for now!

This hotel was better before renovation because pool area was have restrooms and shower now No Shower !!! If someone sh%^*#t at restroom clean it self at pool. if is ok for you no problem. And of course Trumbull Health Dept. if give for that renovation permission Thank-​you for them!!!

We flew into Newark from california and drove all the way to Trumbull to see family and friends. We decided to stay at the Marriott because the website looked very good. When we arrived we got there rather late around 10:30 pm. The hotel parking lot was full and we had to park rather far away. Once we got inside there was a lot of people in the lobby and bar areas. Check in was easy. We went to our room and when the door opened it smelled of mold. I was gagging at how bad it smelled. I called the front desk and they offered to change rooms. Within about 10 minutes they brought me new room keys. On the way to the new room I waited for the elevator and a herd of 8 teenage girls came giggling out of it. I went inside and they had pushed all of the floor buttons. I was so irritated I wanted to scream.
The second room had the same smell but was much more faint. I was too tired to complain about it and decided just to stay in the room and make the best of it. My husband went to the bar to get a drink and came right back saying that the bar/​restaurant was only open until 11pm on weekends. Well that just sucks. Why on earth does a bar close so early on weekends. Guess there will be no relaxing after this grueling trip.
The new room looked clean but there is no ventilation. Guests are unable to open the windows for any fresh air. Most hotels offer windows that allow a small amount of fresh air in even on higher floors. The bathroom does not have vent fans either so it explains the mold smell. All of the moisture has nowhere to escape. Not a good hotel for the claustrophobic. The bed was comfortable and the furnishings were nice. They had decent tv with lots of channels at no additional charge. WiFi is $ 13 a day so we did not use it.
I would use the hotel again but they really should keep the bar/​restaurant open later on weekends and do something about the mold smells and ventilation. Some people are highly allergic to mold and could pose a health issue.

My daughter and I stayed here overnight on a Saturday. It was a beautiful hotel and we were able to check in early as there were available rooms. The hotel staff were very helpful and helped me find local restaurants and stores. I noticed the hotel maids were equally as friendly. The only thing I did not try was the hotel restaurant because there was nothing on the menu that my daughter would eat. The only negative thing I will say is that there were no places close by to eat (except McDonalds). Other than that, it is a great place to stay.

The customer service at this location was really really bad. The room was clean. I will never go back to this place. I’m still disappointed with this experience. I love the Marriott Brand, but I was really disappointed.

Wonderful stay here. Beautiful and modern décor. This hotel went through a renovation two years ago and it shows. Check-​in smooth and staff is accommodating. This hotel is off the Merritt Pkwy and was busy over the weekend. Wedding brunches and educational seminars are booked here. The mister and I got a room here on the concierge floor. Room is modern, updated, and clean. One complaint that I have is that the sheets and towels should get updated as well. Towels and sheets have loose threads and worn out. Frig and safe are present in the room too.
Bar & restaurant on site. Also, convenience store on site which has a Starbucks operated coffee machine. The lady who runs the shop was very helpful and sweet. Hotel is near lots of shopping, CVS, Kohls, Best buy and Big Y supermarket. We did quick bites at Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds. Overall, an excellent stay and would stay here again.

We arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon. We quickly checked in, found our room to be super clean, and immediately napped. I found the entire hotel to be quite clean, convenient to major roads, and the rooms to be pretty nice. My only complaint was the kids who were running up and down the hall all hours of the day. Hardly the hotels fault, but annoying any way.

Stayed here for a week during dec. and the first day we arrived, it snowed. The entire place was covered in a blanket of snow, very cool. This was exciting for us, being from CA. The staff were all very nice and friendly. Our hotel room was okay. Small and during a windy night somehow the furnace vent whistled the entire night. Actually more like howled. When I called for someone to repair it, all they did was stick a heavy blanket over it? Umm, this didn’t do the trick, because the next night of wind, back to howling. After that, our shower knob to turn the water off/​on, got stuck. So it continued to flow at full force while filling up the tub, that seemed to stop up! Called the staff again. he was nice and actually fixed the issue, only for it to happen AGAIN the next day. Well, needless to say, we asked to change rooms. Which they did, but after about 2 hrs of us waiting. Oh, and don’t even try the restaurant downstairs! Its mucho expensive and my chicken I ordered, still had a few feathers on it. And the roll was lying in my salad dressing. I pretty much lost my appetite after the feathers. All in all, I give 3 stars for the staff, but the rooms/​food are mediocre at best. Oh, I would give 5 stars just on outside ambiance of the winter wonderland we got to see!

Our Room:
— obvious painting missing from wall
— rusty strange shower hardware
— paint peeling from the ceiling
— super hard bed, that seemed really short and high
Some may argue that none of this mattered since we were way too blitzed from the 7 million hour open bar at the wedding we attended at the Waterview to care… but I still noticed through my blurred vision that there were certain obvious problems with our hotel room.
Other aspects of the hotel were nice tho, including the lovely bar, excellent buffet breakfast, and helpful service… so the 2 stars go to them, which would probably be 2.5 if .5’s were allowed. I don’t plan on being in Trumbull CT anytime soon, so I’ll probably never stay here again…
