Travel tips
If you plan to have breakfast on-site, budget for the cooked-to-order fee since it isn’t included by default. A car is helpful for reaching Hartford attractions such as the Wadsworth Atheneum, Connecticut Science Center, and The Mark Twain House & Museum, all several kilometers away. If you’re traveling during stormy seasons, consider asking the front desk about contingency plans, as at least one guest reported a disruptive overnight power outage experience.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight clean rooms, comfortable beds, and notably helpful staff, along with a convenient location near shopping. Several reviews also point out that some rooms feel dated or that maintenance and stocking issues can arise (such as broken fixtures or missing shower items). Breakfast is mentioned as an extra-cost item rather than an included benefit. One review describes a challenging overnight power outage that affected elevators and basic room functionality, with dissatisfaction about the follow-up response.
