Room with a view of the Capitol

We loved our room with a view of the lovely 19th C. Capitol building and a snowy Bushnell Park. The hotel is conveniently located for Amtrak travelers & walkable to everything in downtown Hartford. Check out Hartford Stage & the Wadsworth Atheneum if you come to Hartford—both a short walk from the hotel. Also very close: Black Eyed Sally’s Southern Kitchen.

The property was very convenient to AMTRAK and to the concert hall. The staff were pleasant. Our room was tucked behind the fire tower stairs. There was a thin blanket on the bed. The top sheet was for a smaller bed. This is Connecticut in January! The bath tub was repaired with a 3x10 inch piece of tape which had black mold on it.The heater worked well. The bathroom mirror could only be used by a tall man.The room had no phone, even though the guest book provided phone numbers. According to the sign on the back of the door, the room rate is $309 per night! I've had better accommodations at a motel! For what I paid for this hotel room, I expected much more luxurious accommodations. This was not worth the money I paid.

Would never stay here again

Not ever staying here again. The bed is so uncomfortable and hard, that would rather sleep on the floor. Rooms and bathroom were small. Had to unplug the HVAC unit bc there was no way to turn it off. Not enough parking in the underground garage they have, which has the tightest spiraling ramp anyways. Breakfast was scheduled until 9am, but they ran out of everything by 830-845am. The only positive thing was our view of the capital building out of our window, which was pretty.

First room smelled heavily of marijuana, floor was sticky and barhroom ceiling was leaving. When I asked for another room Iwas told they were sold out. However, when I requested a discount instead, a room magically became available. The underground garage is small and difficult to maneuver large vehicles not to mention it's need for repair.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was very nice and acompassing. Especially for NYE. Parking is very reasonable. $15. Rooms are tidy and have a fridge and microwave. Which was a major plus. Would have liked to see a bed skirt on the beds. Something about seeing a box spring irks me a bit. A little outdated but good for the price.

You get what you pay for

We were greeted by a very friendly staff. The lobby was clean and comfy looking. The breakfast was also very good, lots of choices. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Our backs are still recovering. There was hair all over the bed and bathroom. The water was hot. But the plumbing left a lot to be desired. Toilets didn’t flush properly. Over all, you get what you pay for. An inexpensive hotel close to all the action.
