Don't believe the hype about the hotel being quaint. more on Yahoo! Travel

You won't find conference rooms or a health club, but you will find that this family-owned hotel has been thriving for over a century right in the heart of downtown New Haven. more on wguides.com

My stay was brief (1 night), but for the price mid-week ($60), it was an amazing deal. more on TripAdvisor

It is 1 block from the Yale campus, reasonably priced, $12.00 parking, and right above a terrific Thai restaurant. more on TravelPost.com

The Duncan lacks the frills that many travelers now expect, but if you want a place that's clean, comfortable (yes, the bathrooms work just fine!) more on Yahoo! Travel

I loved the location. The lobby is very pretty, too. However, the room we had was so ugly...I expected period wallpaper and floor treatments and got trashy 1960"s paneling and carpeting. Also, the ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Hotel Duncan is one of the most interesting hotels I have been staying in - and I know what i am talking about, I used to write about hotels. I stayed there for two weeks in September 2005 and I am looking forward to my next stay. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We stay at the Hotel Duncan every time we visit New Haven. It is 1 block from the Yale campus, reasonably priced, $12.00 parking, and right above a terrific Thai restaurant. The hotel is over 100 years old, has an old-fashioned elevator ... more on TravelPost.com

DON'T make the mistake of staying here! Not only did the door not lock, but I had no running water during my stay! The staff refused to fix the water and wouldn't move me to another room, though plenty were available. My linens were ... more on TravelPost.com
