Lovely, clean hotel with a great staff and a really good restaurant. I would definitely return. Just be aware that the train runs directly behind the hotel and will wake you up at night.
Such a chic hotel just an hour out of NY and directly off the Merritt Pkwy. Great Italian restaurant at the property. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will stay again when I’m headed into the city.
Hotel is clean and well maintained, with a nice lobby. Staff is very nice. However, very little sound proofing killed the experience for us. If you have active neighbors, you can hear what’s going on next door. When walking down the hall, you can hear conversations in rooms. And when room doors close, they slam, which be heard down the hall.
The restaurant in the hotel was amazing. I traveled solo I felt safe however, you can hear the noise from others, it wasn't the worst but it did wake me up a few times. It was very clean and I enjoyed my stay.
I spent three nights at The Watershed in Norwalk, and overall it was a good stay. The property itself is modern, clean, and well‑located — exactly the kind of boutique‑style hotel Connecticut desperately needs more of. My room was comfortable, the design felt fresh, and the staff was consistently warm and professional.
This is an exceptional property. The lobby and the rooms are well designed and very well maintained. My room -- marketed as a suite but actually a junior suite because there's no separate living and bed rooms -- was well-priced, spacious and very nicely furnished. The bathroom was enormous. The view of the trees and the river are delightful.
I did not use the restaurant but it looked very nice (very helpful because there doesn't seem to be any other decent options nearby).
The staff were all friendly and attentive.
The only negative was the complementary continental breakfast, which was decidedly mediocre.
The hotel is always clean, Rooms are nice size ..staff is friendly..its my go to place to stay whenever i am in the Norwalk/Westport Area. Great place to eat as well..
Loud barking dogs and screaming kids were my takeaway from the Lobby,but the newness, comfortable room and overall experience is Positive.
Will stay there again.
Beautiful new property, with nice view and friendly staff! Breakfast was not worth the time, it was very basic and nothing exciting...more like a holiday inn express breakfast! Room and bathrooms were wonderful!
Really lovely hotel at a very reasonable price point. We got upgraded immediately (without asking or thinking to ask) which was a nice touch. The bed was really comfortable and the room was spacious with lovely design choices. We only had cause to stay one night. I wish we could have stayed longer! We'll be back.
Stayed here at the last minute for one night. It is clean and modern. The staff were friendly and professional. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I loved the view of running water from our window
