View of Capital and Bushnell Park, especially at night was spectacular on the front side of the hotel. Convenience to Bushnell Park and the Hartford Marathon event was excellent. We had difficulty with our keys working properly on Day 2 of our stay but front desk was very helpful with the issue. Parking garage was full and we needed to park nearby. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Staff was friendly and location is perfect. Rooms were clean even though hotel is old and need some renovation. Sink in the bathroom wasn't functioning properly and the buthtub as well had leakages. Overall for one night it was good. As I saw on the lower floor they started renovations. Breakfast is simple but good as well. Rooms are clean.

Checking lady refused to check me in. Please refund me. I had to go to another hotel and pay last minute feed for a room because of this, it ended adding around $500 to my trip. Was the worse experience I ever had traveling.

The room felt dirty. The bathroom was tired and outdated, and not very clean. Housekeeping came in every morning and did a nice job. Hotel carpet was worn and dirty, parking was uncomfortable, and local area felt very unsafe. Would not recommend.
