Residence Inn by Marriott Stamford Downtown
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a central, well-rated base in downtown Stamford and can live with a reference price slightly above the local median. Skip it if breakfast matters a lot to you or if price is your main filter.

This is a solid pick for business travellers, couples and short city stays where walking to dinner or a show counts. Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10 across 76 reviews, and the location score is 9.
It suits people who care about friendly service. Reviews single out the front desk and the valet team as polite and helpful.
Skip it if you are hunting for the cheapest bed in town. Our Budget pick costs less per night with almost the same guest score. Also skip it if a generous breakfast is part of how you judge a hotel. That is the one clear complaint in the reviews.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at 25 Atlantic Street, in downtown Stamford. Guests describe it as central, near the Palace Theater, with a short walk to the train.
The Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. St. Vladimir's Cathedral is about 1.2 km away, close to 15 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer.
The Bruce Museum is a different story. At about 8 km, or around 100 minutes on foot, it is far. Plan on public transport or a taxi to get there.
What guests say
Two themes come up again and again. The first is location: people like being downtown with the theatre and the train close by. The second is the staff, described as friendly, polite and helpful at the desk and at the valet stand.
The weak spot is breakfast. Some guests found the selection limited, without much fresh fruit, vegetables or meat. Whether breakfast is even included in your rate is not confirmed, so check the rate details before you pay.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €289.96 per night. That was seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, so treat it as a guide and check today's price for your own dates. The sample median in Stamford was €272.64, so this hotel sat a little above it.
For that money the property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. Opening times and any fees are not confirmed.
Compare that with our other two picks. Hampton Inn & Suites Stamford, our Budget choice, was €250.26 a night with a score of 8.7. The Lloyd Stamford, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, our Luxury choice, was €275.29 with a score of 8.6 and 4 stars. In this sample the Luxury pick was actually cheaper than this one, so compare all three on the day you book.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 eligible hotels in Stamford. This one shared the top review-score position, with 8.8 out of 10, and it has a strong location score of 9.
It is our Best Value choice because it balances score, review count and price. It is not the cheapest option, and it does not claim to be.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate. The provider data does not confirm it.
The listing tags mention pets and a spa, but no policy or details are given. If you travel with a pet or want spa access, confirm with the hotel first.
Room size, noise levels, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description and the cancellation policy carefully, and check the current price, since the figures here are reference prices only.
