Although it is not the fanciest place, it was in good repair and clean and tasteful. Very receptive staff that seemed eager to make sure customers are happy. That was much appreciated. Minor problem when i wanted the room to be a bit warmer as the thermostat was not working, but not to blame the staff at all because i did not ask them to address it. It was still a reasonable temp. Good people trying to run a nice place.

The rooms were large and generally well kept. The only negative is that our room was not made up 2 of the 3 days we were there.

Good location and price

My stay at the Solano Inn was fine. Nothing fancy, but that's ok since the cost was less than I expected to find in the area. The staff were all very kind and helpful. I was quite concerned that they made a copy of my credit card at check in. I've traveled a lot but never had that happen before. When I checked out I requested the copy and they returned it to me. I assume there was no second copy made. The room was large and clean. A very strong-scented air freshener was plugged in which I didn't like, so I unplugged it. There was no hair dryer, but I had thought there wouldn't be so I brought my own. I chose the Solano Inn for its location near Middleton, CT, and for the low price. It was fine.

Nice for the price! Perfect for what I need.

Solano isn't the most expensive place. In order to do that it is not as fancy. This is PERFECT for business and long term stay, with friendly staff and things that work. It was very comfortable.

Our start was just over night. The room was very clean and smelled nice, it was evident it was recently renovated. Parking was easy. It was dark upon arrival but lit up well and no concerns with safety.

Clean and comfortable room

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. The receptionists were very helpful and answered all our questions. We appreciated the small touches like the complimentary water bottles, coffee and toiletries. Will be coming back! Thank you so much.
