The property is old and dated. When we arrived and checked, the lady at the front desk gave us the room key. Then we went to our room, the key didn’t even worked. We went back downstair, the lady at the front desk said she send someone to fix it, but the gentlemen could not fix it. Then he decided to move us to a different room. But this room, the condition was worst it the other one. The carpet was old and disgusting, and the chair was ripped, the room view on this one was facing was terrible. The bed was not comfortable and the bedding was smell bad. The only thing we like is the water pressure was good.

Old dirty run down hotel. "I'm scared of taking off my shoes in the room" kinda place. I was disappointed not to find a dead body under my bed. I had to stay the night. It was late. The staff was nice though. They didn't make a fuss about canceling the rest of my reservation. I guess you get what you pay for...

Room was dirty (crumbs, hair, nail clippings) and reeked of smoke (non-smoking room). Heating system alternated between aggressively shooting (very) warm and (very) cold air, apparently in an attempt to hit a happy medium in the 70-degree range. Phone and hairdryer were both broken. Trash can at the elevator hall was overflowing for 2 days. Garage was downright scary with gaping holes in the concrete floor. Signs say that the property is being upgraded but that doesn’t explain this experience.

17.00 dollars a day for parking, the garage for parking was full of scaffolding. No help at the door to enter, restaurant wasn't open and breakfast was a la carte, pay for each piece. The picture doesn't show the condition of the building as it looks in disrepair on the outside. I cancelled my reservation and went elsewhere.

Parking areas were being supported with temporary reinforcements and crumbled pavement was sectioned off by caution tape...should not have been used in the existing condition. Dirty wash cloth hanging over shower rod in bathroom. Furniture, bedding, and floors all stained to various degrees. So disappointed. Couldn’t wait to leave.

Overall unhappy 2/5

Expected a coffee maker in room, but found none. Coffee in lobby was only during breakfast timing. Prepaid for the breakfast, not many choices... and basic breakfast and order like banana split was delayed (~25 mins) and surprisingly they ran out of bananas. Room service was pathetic, asked for a laundry bag which was missing and got a trash bag with a note that they ran out of laundry bags... I wonder if there was anything they had which they weren’t short off. + to add, there were construction going around and made the hotel look unpleasant. Sad with the stay!

Super disappointed overall in my stay here. They were in the middle of painting/renovations which is completely necessary. The property is EXTREMELY outdated, the rooms especially. The location is nice in relation to downtown Hartford, but everything else about it was definitely disappointing. Also, I think it's outrageous that they charge an extra $17/night PER CAR for parking, which you are unaware of until checking in. Regardless, it's insane. The parking lot was under construction and super messy. The woman working the front desk while checking in was not very pleasant, although the man working when I checked out was kind and wonderful. Overall just not the most pleasant stay, definitely needs some serious improvements. Please be advised when booking here!

In Walking Distance to XL

We enjoyed our stay, especially how close it is to everything downtown..we were looking to be in walking distance for a concert. There was a lot of construction going on and that made parking a challenge. The rooms and the main parts of the hotel had been refinished and were very nice!
