The Elizabeth Suite B2
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
Overview
The Elizabeth Suite B2 is a second-floor, one-bedroom urban unit in Connecticut marketed as an “Urban Retreat.” It’s designed for short- to medium-length stays with a full kitchen and in-unit laundry, and it can accommodate up to four guests using a queen bed plus a sofa bed. The property is smoke-free and pet-friendly.
Suite layout & in-room features
The bedroom includes a queen-size bed with storage (closet and dresser). A separate living area offers a sofa that converts to a bed and a 44" smart TV with Hulu, alongside cable TV. Climate features include heating and air conditioning, plus practical items such as an ironing board and washer.
Kitchen & dining
Guests have a kitchen equipped with an oven stove, microwave, and other modern appliances, plus a dining table for at-home meals. Some reviews note kitchen usability issues (including limited cooking equipment and problems with burners/outlets), which may matter for longer stays or frequent cooking.
Location & getting around
The suite sits close to multiple transit options, including Capitol Ave & Hudson St (about 134 m), Main St & Buckingham St (about 279 m), and Hartford train station (about 967 m). For flights, Bradley International Airport is approximately 19.9 km away. The immediate area is described as urban—generally quiet but with occasional sirens and car noise due to proximity to a major street.
Parking, Wi‑Fi & outdoor space
On-site free parking is a key convenience for drivers. Free Wi‑Fi is provided, though a review mentions that connectivity can be spotty at times. The unit also includes a patio.
Best for
This suite is best for travelers who want an apartment-style setup with a full kitchen, in-unit washer, and free parking for driving around Hartford. It can also suit couples or small groups needing flexible sleeping arrangements (queen bed plus sofa bed) and quick access to local bus stops and the train station. Light sleepers may want to plan for typical city noise from nearby major streets.
Travel tips
If you’re relying on public transport, several bus stops are within a few minutes’ walk (as close as about 134 m), and Hartford’s train station is under 1 km away. Because check-in logistics have been mentioned as a pain point in reviews, consider confirming arrival instructions in advance. In shoulder seasons, ask ahead about the window A/C installation schedule and heat settings, since heat is centrally controlled and A/C may be seasonal.
What guests say
Reviews highlight a convenient, near-downtown location with easy access and free on-site parking, plus a spacious feel and friendly housekeeping. Reported negatives focus on arrival logistics (missing or unclear check-in instructions) and functional/maintenance issues, especially in the kitchen (missing essentials, limited outlets, and stove burner problems). Some guests also mention comfort and condition concerns such as mattress sagging and bathroom wear. Connectivity and security perceptions come up as well, including spotty Wi‑Fi and concerns about the surrounding area at night and a door gap.
