Decent stay

We stayed at Solano Inn to visit Wesleyan University. Good stay for the price. The bathroom had a strong smell of cigarette smoking, however. Also it would have helped to have tea bags int he room given we had an electric kettle etc in the room. Staff was kind and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness

For $97/night it was excellent. Clean, kitchenette area, hot water was plentiful, basic amenities. Nothing extra. Hair dryer available on request. No extra towels or blankets. Heating/cooling was a wall unit and worked well but loud when it would switch on. Front desk not always attended, so may wait for check in and out.

Although it is not the fanciest place, it was in good repair and clean and tasteful. Very receptive staff that seemed eager to make sure customers are happy. That was much appreciated. Minor problem when i wanted the room to be a bit warmer as the thermostat was not working, but not to blame the staff at all because i did not ask them to address it. It was still a reasonable temp. Good people trying to run a nice place.

Good location and price

My stay at the Solano Inn was fine. Nothing fancy, but that's ok since the cost was less than I expected to find in the area. The staff were all very kind and helpful. I was quite concerned that they made a copy of my credit card at check in. I've traveled a lot but never had that happen before. When I checked out I requested the copy and they returned it to me. I assume there was no second copy made. The room was large and clean. A very strong-scented air freshener was plugged in which I didn't like, so I unplugged it. There was no hair dryer, but I had thought there wouldn't be so I brought my own. I chose the Solano Inn for its location near Middleton, CT, and for the low price. It was fine.

Nice for the price! Perfect for what I need.

Solano isn't the most expensive place. In order to do that it is not as fancy. This is PERFECT for business and long term stay, with friendly staff and things that work. It was very comfortable.
