Rooms are very nice. The view from rooms facing south is exceptional because it looks right at the state capitol and park in front of it. Typically the other hotels in downtown Hartford like the Marriott or Hilton are at least $50 higher per night plus the parking is higher. If you arrive by Amtrak you are right across the... More

The location of this hotel (right next to the train station) and the low price (compared to other Hartford hotels) were what attracted me. I also liked that it had a shuttle in to businesses in town in the morning. There is free internet that worked fine in my room. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and... More

Second time staying here and been pleased both times. Price is reasonable for a great downtown location and had a great view of the capitol building. I came early so no rooms so I hung out in the lobby area. The staff was very attentive and brought me over my keys as soon as the next room became available. They... More

This hotel is in a great location and one side of the hotel has beautiful panoramic views of the Capital building. It's very pretty. Internet service in the room was always reliable which is a big plus. But that's where the good ends. The thing that probably annoyed me the most was the heater/air in the room. They are the... More

We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. Many of your concerns are related to the building itself. This hotel is different from most Holiday Inn Express hotels as it is located in a downtown historic district with parks and historic buildings and dining at our doorsteps. The room sizes are slightly smaller and the view... More

I walked into the lobby of this hotel to make a reservation. It was about 7:00 pm. The entrance was not very bright and there was no one at the front desk. I looked around and sitting in the corner were two people (a man and woman) talking and having a good time together. When I said hello the woman... More

Honestly the worst hotel of the past 50 I have stayed in. The front desk staff spend more time talking to the other employees than taking care of the customers. They have no decision making authority, a problem magnified by a manager and assistant manager both away for a week of training (God knows they need it). When I reported... More

Man, I have stayed in cleaner rooms, and stood in cleaner showers. Room phones seemed to be props. Still, I've seen a lot worse too. Front desk was really busy but seemed nice. I'll look elsewhere next time but won't be upset of its where I end up.

Very nice, good parking. A bit of a walk but reasonable pricing. We went on business, so it was a perfect stopover. On other hand, lots to see nearby and restaurants withing walking distance. Would use again. If wanting a quick stopover in downtown take a look.
