That same night I arrived, I asked for my refund. The lady at the counter treated me terribly and gave me a dirty room, a sticky floor, open drawers, hair in the bathtub as if they had showered before I arrived. There were no towels and she didn't want to give me even two towels. They didn't give me my money back. I don't recommend you

In general the stay was good. Fitted the purpose of the stay. Hotel room was good, quiet and beds were confortable and clean. Breakfast was OK, but could be better. Parking facilites are very uncomfortable, small and not easy to access. Areas around the hotel are not appealing to be walkable. They look dirty and schechy.

The staff was extremely kind and courteous. While the hotel is older, it's well maintained and clean - plenty of parking (for a fee) and within close walking distance to restaurants, XL Center, XL Theatre and nightlife. For a hotel in a city, it was very quiet and the water pressure was awesome in the shower.

I traveled all the way from Philadelphia for a family event and in least them 20mins my license plate was stolen off my vehicle from this Hotel’s Parking Garage. The staff was so nasty and rude. They didn’t even want to look at the cameras or assist me with the situation so I had to call the police and make a report. I didn’t stay the night there because I left unsafe and I’m 6months pregnant yet they refused to give me a refund. Police informed me later in the next morning that a guest from this same hotel had stolen my license plate. I don’t understand how a hotel can let something like this happen and not care about the safety of their customers or even care enough to accommodate them for the trouble caused by their negligence. Not to mention the rooms are dirty and not at all what they advertise. I can only imagine if I didn’t go check on my car . It probably would’ve been stolen as well and I will be pregnant and stuck 4hrs away from home .

Not recommended.
A cheap price, when checked in I went to my room to discover water in the bath tub. Gross, I complained and was assigned a new room. Only stayed 1 night. Next time in Hartford I will be willing to pay for a larger hotel. Their garage is underground, but very tight. Scratched my car on a concrete post.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, was charged for a stay even though it was supposed to be paid at check in and I never checked in then refused to refund my money even though they should have never charged me Expedia help wasn't worth a crap either, just blamed it on the hotel and said they cant refund only the hotel can but they "cant get in touch" with a manager

It was sufficient for what was needed. Quick check in. There is a parking fee $15 a night which sucks but that’s the case. Enjoyed the position to the park for the festivities since I was in the parade.
