Overview

Red Roof Inn Milford – New Haven is a 2-star, no-frills budget hotel in Milford, Connecticut, located off I-95 at 10 Rowe Ave. It’s positioned for quick highway access and simple, practical stays rather than resort-style amenities. The property is pet-friendly and is often used by travelers seeking a straightforward, reasonably priced stop.

Rooms

Rooms and suites have an unassuming, traditional motel-style feel with painted accent walls and wood floors. Standard in-room features include free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, coffeemakers, and en suite bathrooms. Some rooms add conveniences like mini-refrigerators, microwaves, and sitting areas.

On-site services

Parking is complimentary, which can be useful for I‑95 road trips and local driving. The hotel also offers coin-operated laundry facilities for longer stays. Amenities beyond these basics are not documented.

Location & nearby places

The hotel is about 2.3 km from Silver Sands State Park and roughly 3.8 km from Charles Island, putting coastal outdoor time within a short drive. For museums and family attractions, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is about 7.7 km away, and the PEZ Visitor Center is about 9.6 km away. New Haven’s Yale-related destinations are also reachable by car, including the Yale University Art Gallery (~17.0 km), Yale Center for British Art (~17.0 km), and Yale University (~18.1 km).

Best for

This property best suits budget-minded road trippers and short-stay travelers who want quick I‑95 access, free parking, and practical essentials like Wi‑Fi and in-room coffee. It can also work well for daytime or in-between stops when you mainly need a private room to rest, shower, or reset, especially if you can secure a room with a mini-fridge and microwave. Pet owners may value that pets are welcome.

Travel tips

If you plan to use the room for drinks or simple meals, consider confirming whether your specific room includes a mini-refrigerator and/or microwave, since only some do. Silver Sands State Park is one of the closest major draws (about 2.3 km away), so it’s an easy outing by car. For New Haven cultural visits, the Yale University area and major galleries are roughly 17–18 km away, making driving the most straightforward option.
