Bridgeport doesn’t have a hotel?

[UconnU]

I’m looking for places to stay in Fairfield county and noticed that there aren’t any hotels in Bridgeport at all? Not that you’d want to stay there but seemed crazy to my wife and I that a city with minor league sports teams and 150k people doesn’t have a single hotel.

I'd imagine there have to be hotels there. Just none you'd want to stay in.

bbut across the street is a killer fish market! seriously, stuff u ain't never seen or even heard of is there, so there's that. the trefz boys got waxxed by the bug thing, and now the hotel will be apartments. i like Bridgeport, and don't need no stinkin hotel to be there, soooo, there's that, too!

'stuff u ain't never seen or even heard of is there,'
and prolly would never want to eat. and believe you me, i eat plenty of weird stuff.

The city is very hotel poor, but I think there is a Holiday Inn within the city limits.

And to think, I bought a watermelon, a head of romaine lettuce, 2 broccoli crowns, and 4 Portuguese rolls from the Food Bazaar across the street less than two hours ago.

Nah, the grill was already going, and I was tapped for a few fill-ins. Don't make me switch browsers just to post the receipt.

Besides, it should be enough that I did yoga in Seaside Park this morning, and arranged for a mobile detail duo next Thursday in the driveway of the north end place where I've been the past few nights.

When Bazaar first opened, I Iived on Lake Forest, but, sure, almost everybody I know now lives in Black Rock and either rides a bicycle or downsized from a fancier town in Fairfield County.

Yep, different fish.

Yes very strange there’s no major hotel brands seeing it’s the largest city in CT

Have you been to Pombal?

I recommend the Hi-Ho in Fairfield. A cute motel that was renovated a few years ago, it's not expensive and it has a Barcelona and a liquor store attached to the building. Just 10 minutes from downtown Bridgeport.

Unfortunately my City is in ruins and has suffered from corruption for far too long. Not many places in the county where the Mayor can spend time in prison, get out, and win re-election. I was very disappointed in the electorate.

Anyone else from Bridgeport? I grew up on Oak Street.

As Cliff Clavin said, Bridgeport is the armpit of New England.

Originally from Bridgeport.

Extremely difficult to sustain a hotel in a poor city that lacks an employment base.

A hotel is planned for Steel Point.

That and Circle Inn are probably the two best bets without spending 3x at the delamar.

Best Western on Kings Highway Fairfield is walking distance from Pepe's. Circle Inn is ok. HiHo is pricey since the renovation and not near anything except the Merritt and Barcelona, which has gone downhill over the past decade ( the original in Norwalk used to be great) when some crazy venture capital group paid $400 million for the "chain"

There is also a small motel next to the Seagrape at the end of Reef Road. The FTC used to put the musicians up there, I raged late late night once there with Russell Batiste from the Funky Meters!

This place has an incredible selection of seafood but forget the Sunnyside Inn.

John Ratzenberger should know, he's from Bridgepit!

 

[Horatio]

Their building a brand new one, right next to the Trumbull mall, right over the Bridgeport line.

fifth call to preacher - 'no more aki or jerk chicken for these mooks.'
sixth call to jorge - 'cut them off from the arroz com pollo'

[dvegas]

Hotel motel no more Holiday Inn Bridgeport. The Trefves's sold it for conversion to apartments. I always got a room there for Gathering of the Vibes. Made party money/favors by "renting" it for 2-hour shifts during the day, naps in air conditioning and a shower, profit!!!! (plus I slept there 4 am to 11 am). Good times.

safe house? halfway house? underground railway house for those fairdale county folks trying to kick kale chip addiction? i bet they got e-car charging stations, and dr. bronners soap in all the batrumes.
