The heating system in the general areas of the hotel wasn't working during negative freezing temperatures. The cleaning staff laft bedding sheets sitting on the floor of the hallway. The top drawer of the bureau wouldn't stay shut. This is hotel is locted in a prime location in Hartford, with spectacular view of the state Capitol building and park. The place obviously needs to invest in renovations. There was no juice in the juice machine for those of us who don't drink coffe or tea for breakfast. They said the garage door wasn't working, so I had to pay $32 to park outside on the property. This appears to be a scam to generate more money from hotel guests. I would have parked on the street if it wasn't for the snowblower and tools that were in my truck. This visit is 3 stars bordering on 2 stars.

The hotel was okay. The room was clean and staff was friendly. However, every night we had to bring our keys back to the front desk to get them reactivated which was a tad bit annoying. We also requested for housekeeping services in the morning and we removed all of the sheets and towels and placed them outside of the door before we left out for the day. When we came back in later that day, housekeeeping did NOT put new sheets or towels in the room. The matress was bare and we had to put our own sheets and pillowcases on the bed. Other than that, the stay was decent. Nothing to rave about, but also a good, affordable option.

Breakfast was not good even the waffle mix! The bean bags in lobby were stripping and looked unsanitary. Only positive is the view from The room. The staff were friendly though and helpful!
