The hotel was beautiful and full of historic charm. The on-site Wild Fern restaurant had delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. My only "negative" was that both Apple Maps and Google maps struggled to map directions to the property--they both routed us through the hospital drive which is closed to through traffic. Not the hotel's fault, just a heads up to other travelers.

Short stay with Protea Hotel

My son and I visited CT for 4 days and according to them I booked for 2 adults. No one phoned before we arrived to confirm our booking. They couldn't help me with an explanation on how it happened; booking app's fault or theirs? Breakfast service was excellent. Our fire alarm went off twice. The reception had no idea about the fire alarm that went off at weird times - early mornings and even at night really late. Feedback would be appreciated.
