I had stayed at this hotel before and had a wonderful experience, but my most recent visit was a mess. The lock on my friend's door didn't work and had to be completely replaced; my refrigerator didn't work; my desk lamp didn't work; my television set received only about five weird channels, forcing me to miss the series finale of...

Bristol doesn't have too many hotel choices. The clarion is a little away from the downtown area and there arent any restaurants or bars within close walking distance. Rooms are average with old CRT TVs with about 20 channels. In room amenities were very average as well. No free breakfast. Wireless Internet is free though. There is a restaurant and... More

Recently I had the need to stay at the Bristol, CT. Clarion for an extended stay, approximately 5 months off and on. Upon checking in, I was greeted with professionalism and curiousity from each and every hotel employee. Each was down to earth, authentic and actually concerned that I would have a positive experience while staying there. Every morning when... More

As we attempt to please all of Guests all of the time, sometimes that is just not possible. Unfortunately, the Fire Marshall will not allow five large dogs to be crated in a single room with two queen beds. This would present a serious hazard and is a major violation. As we do not allow pets per our regular standard,... More

Facility is under construction, but fully functional. We attended a dog show held in the hotel, which was our reason for the visit. The staff was truly accommodating, not just to our group but made sure that all other guest were not affected by the dogs. Thanks to the staff! More

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times in past years and have found this experience to be very disappointing. The switch to the Doubletree Brand can only be an improvement over the state of things now. We stayed at Christmas and 1) found out after returning to our room in the evening that we were supposed to... More

Dear General Manager, Please take a moment and review the attached pictures.

Having spent a chunk of my professional career in the hotel business, I admit to being extra picky and overly observant - both of which can ruin a vacation! This hotel was geared to give service, good service. You can always tell the mgmt style of the person in charge by the behavior of the staff and this one was... More

I stayed here for business, and its a nice hotel. The entrance is a bit tricky, and is parking is full, the walk to the front entrance can be a bit much as there's no side entrances. The elevator talked to you (told you the floor, going up or down) but the door opened before the elevator was fully stopped.... More
