This was the perfect place for us to stay on a quick business trip to Hartford. It is just outside of Hartford, near shopping, restaurants, etc. The drive from the hotel to UConn, the Mark Twain and Beecher-Stowe houses, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History could not have been easier. The staff was very helpful.
Our suite was a nice size and very clean. Much larger than most city hotels and complete with a small kitchen and lounge area. Breakfast was very satisfying.
There were a few minor downsides which may be more important to some:
-The complimentary local shuttle has a 5-mile limit. That will get you to some of the shops and restaurants, but falls just short of the tourist sites.
-The hotel is rather spartan in terms of decor. (I think that the maintenance guy that told me "If we put a clock in the pool area, kids will rip it off of the wall and throw it like a frisbee," sums up the decor style.) The pool shower area is nice. Add some shampoo, a bench and a few hooks to the room and it would be great. Add a clock so guests can tell what time it is. The room keys did not work in the pool door the day I went.
