Haven't even checked out yet but wanted to leave this review. This place is a find. We had some business in Stamford but didn't want to stay in town so tried here. The hotel is beautiful. Apparently there is really no limit to how nice you can make an old Howard Johnsons. The rooms are super comfortable, especially the beds. I had a room closest to the highway so I could hear some traffic but it isn't bad at all. The high-tech stuff in the rooms was actually nice and not complicated. I was worried that this place might be trying a little too hard from reading reviews but that isn't the case at all. And what I didn't expect was for Tony's to be such a great restaurant. This is legit good Italian food and the outdoor terrace is a great garden setting. We got back from work late last night and the kitchen had closed but Tony himself (great guy) went back to the kitchen and pulled a few things together for us. Overall great experience here.

We went for a mother-daughter weekend and had a fantastic time. The hotel is so nice - there’s a really modern vibe to the place and the technology aspect is excellent. The room was so nicely decorated and clean. The staff were so friendly and the breakfast was just perfect. Really happy with the place and we will definitely be back.

We booked a night for our anniversary at the JHouse as one of the supposedly more upscale hotels in the area. Booked the larger room which was reflected in the rate we were charged and the rese confirmation received. When we got there, we belatedly realized that we have been placed in the smallest room, that was further on the ground floor right on top of the parking lot. When i brought that up to the front desk they kept insisting that we were given the right room per what they had “in their system”. Despite the rate and what the emailed confirmation stated. Fairly disappointed with the overall experience. The restaurant was decent tho.Rooms: The rooms are really small. The one we had was literally on the parking lot. No real amenities. The floor is barren and uninviting.

Great boutique hotel located in Grenwich Connecticut. Hip modern vibes. Tony's restaurant is very good and you might get Tony to stop by and play trivia!

My friends and I had an 8 pm reservation. We got there early and while there were empty tables, we were told they were waiting for tables to get up. We got some drinks at the bar that we requested weren't sweetened. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. In the grand scheme of things, not a big deal. We were then seated nearly a half hour after the reservation time. My group and I ordered sushi and requested no crunch/gluten free - which is exactly what came to the table. Once they redid the order, the sushi was really good. The service wasn't great, super slow. I came in thinking that the J House had a good reputation- while this may be the case, I was really disappointed. Needless to say, I'm not itching to return anytime time soon.

We stayed at the J House for a weekend, and they really did a nice redesign of the property. It looks quite good, both the lobby and the room. The bars and restaurant looks nice too. The staff was friendly, there is valet parking, and we were treated to a glass of Prosecco when we arrived. But in the end it was still a motel experience. We had to go through a bit of a maze of hallways, go outside the property, and through a driveway, to get to our room. And we had a view of the back parking lot... The room was nice and big, and the bed was comfy, and it was nicely designed. But the blackout curtains were hanging a foot from the window, so the room was very light when the sun was up. You also had the constant hum of the I-95 which runs right next to the property. It also seems like their bed sheets are too short, as they didn't stay properly put. The wall between the bedroom and the bathroom was glass (see through on the top), with a glass door so no noise insulation there. Which wasn't helped by the otherwise nice Japanese fancy toilet that turned on an "odor control" fan when you used it. So certainly no sneaking into the bathroom at night without waking up your partner (both because of noise and light). To top it up the AC wasn't great. It seems like if it was set to anything higher than 67F (which it certainly never achieved), it was hot and very stuffy. And even with that, it was never quite cold enough and it was also fairly humid. There is free breakfast, but it is very rudimentary. We tried "upgrading" and buying breakfast wraps but they were pretty bland and not worth it. All this would have been fine for standard motel, but that's not the prices they charge.

Excellent and clean accommodations, delicious on site restaurant, friendly staff, and there’s an outdoor pool with comfortable lounge chairs! If you go to the restaurant make sure to brush up on your state capitols and trivia knowledge - he is a hoot!

J House I spent the night at the Jay house this week. Hoping for an elegant experience. I had treated two of my friends to rooms there as well so we felt like big spenders. Unfortunately, the Jay house did not live up to our expectations. Here are the issues we encountered: The gentleman who checked us in was extremely slow, and it felt confusing to me, as if he wasn’t familiar with the computer equipment. Though he was perfectly polite he wasn’t very welcoming. Trying to find our rooms was complicated and the directions we had been given were unclear. The room itself was not particularly clean. I have a few photos that I will post accompanying this review.I don’t think the floors have been seriously washed in a long time because they did not pass my damp, washcloth wipe test. It is complicated to understand how things work in the room, and there is no instruction. One of the worst most offensive things were the giant thick hard pillows that were absolutely impossible to get a good nights sleep with. they felt like lumpy quilts thrown into a pillowcase. There were also no pillow protecters on them so you could see the dirty pillowcase and the labels. I find this really unacceptable. The air conditioning in the room did not work and the room was too hot for all of the night. Adjusting it did no good whatsoever. The coffee maker was old-fashioned and unpleasant and the cream that was provided was horrible little envelopes of powder that definitely didn’t make the coffee taste any better. What happened to offering guests a little tubs of half and half? I was told that room service opened at 7 AM when I called at 7:10 no one answered. It would’ve been nice to have had a nice cup of coffee delivered to my room at that time. Each room was almost $600 a night and for this amount one does expect certain things like appropriate linens and pillows in a room, cleanliness in the bathroom, delicious coffee with creamers and functioning room service. It’s too bad because it’s a cute place but I wouldn’t go back.

Our two night stay was perfect! Our room was so incredibly wonderful. It absolutely left us speechless. The staff was so nice and always responsive to our needs. The pool area is beautiful and we loved having the opportunity to swim in a clean and wonderful pool. A special thank you to Eliza for booking the best accommodations ever and to Catherine for helping us store our belongings after checking out so we could continue to enjoy this wonderful property a little longer. It’s also in a great location with a gourmet market and restaurants very close. Can’t wait to return
