The Crowne Plaza Hartford was a nice surprise. It has been renovated and the lobby is very welcoming. The room that I had overlooked the outdoor pool and it was quite large. The bath too is a good size with granite counter tops. The best part of the trip was the restaurant. It has the best sushi in Hartford, I... more

I love to come here because the desserts are consistently excellent. Gelato, ricotta squares, cheesecake, chocolate cake and tiramisu are my favorites. The interior is always cool because of the granite floors and tables. Joe will make you a nice cappucino and give you good conversation. The bonus is there is a full bar at prices that are much more... more

Myself and three others went here on a Saturday night for a meal and the comedy show afterwards. We were put in a cramped table on the lower level. I ordered a large caesar salad, they delivered me a chicken sandwich, at which time they gave me a small caesar. It consisted of some chopped romaine lettuce with a tablespoon... more

We had the vegetarian paella and it was wonderful. Our Rumanian waiter was excellent and knew his wines. Plenty of onsite parking. You'll like it. more

Food wasn't as authentic as I expected and it was cold!! Waiters are not nice to ppl and have no manners. It looks and feels more like a low end bar. more

Firstly the goodness. Most of the staff genuinely wants to assist. They arranged for the microwave and refrigerator upon request. Location is great -on free STAR shuttle route. Hotel floors and not all well-maintained. One floor smelled like vomit+cigarette, yuck!! But the front-desk, though moves slow at times, helped secure another room. I reserved 2 adjacent rooms but they failed... more

This is one of those restaurants we always make the 30 minute drive to, sometimes several times a week. For those who prefer their sushi simplified, this place is not for you. My parents like basic rolls and they tend to be very creative with the sauces they put on the special rolls. They do have basic sushi rolls and... more

Last night my boyfriend and I wanted something to eat late at night, but it was Saturday so most things are open later and we were going to go back to Feng Asian Bistro but decided to try something new. I heard great things about this place practically one street away called Dish Bar & Grill so we made reservations... more

Horrible. Desk clerk whose mastery of the English language was poor. Felt very unsafe in the parking lot, which had no security cameras or access to other roads. Halls smelled really sickly sweet and awful. Barking dogs in adjacent room. Ridiculously bad continental breakfast. No acknowledgment from desk clerk when checking out. I would not stay here again. The only... more

Went out to Carbone's with a group of friends. I hadn't been there for years and honestly didn't remember much about it. What a great place! We sat in a big round booth and had the BEST time. Our server Matt clued us in on what to order and we ended up splitting a bunch of appetizers, and then entrees... more

Even though they have regular rooms, they make you want to stay. The hotel has a spa, fitness, and pool on the top floor. The service is great. Starbuucks is right at your fingertips. The concierge is one of the best available at the Marriotts in the state of CT. more

My girlfriend and I went out to dinner at Cafe Eugene recently, largely because of its ranking and reviews on this site. I am always interested in trying different restaurants in the area, so we decided to give it a chance. Our dinner was a bizarre experience. We went at about 5:30 PM on a Saturday and the place was... more

I used to work in downtown Hartford, so I would often do take-out or dine-in lunches at Feng, my guilty pleasure. They have fabulous sushi! I've never actually tried any of their non-sushi offerings, despite my "Feng veteran" status, but I can assure you that at the very least, you will not be disappointed in the sushi... ever. It's been... more

There is a paid parking lot attached to the hotel. My stay started out with a panhandler asking me for money as I exited my car. Not a pleasant experience when you're a woman traveling alone, especially after dark. While the desk staff was very nice and even walked me to my car to retrieve a forgotten item, they told... more

This is a very large restaurant with decent, but nothing special, food. We ate here once before and found them to be extremely slow, so we left extra time this time. Both times, we were eating before a show. Last time, they promised us we had plenty of time for dessert, but after waiting close to a half hour, it... more

I've ordered from here a few times and th food is just ok.Every time we get delivery, they always screw up the order. This time we ordered 4 spinach pies, we only got 1. So I called back and they sent 3 more an hour later, and expected me to pay for it. I called the manager to complain and... more

My cousin and I stayed at the Hartford Marriott to get away and relax for a day/night. We checked in mid-day and after dropping our bags off in our adjoining rooms, we went to the spa. We were amazed at the many different options available and the friendly and open staff members. I had my first massage and it was... more

I guess it would be an ok place for drinks or dinner with friends. Was expecting something like Fridays/Chili's etc, but more of a bar atmosphere. Hartford.com advertised it as "family friendly", probably because it had a kids menu. However, I would not call it a family restaurant. Food was ok, nothing great. Service was good. more

Over the last 10 years I have stayed in about every hotel in Harford. I last stayed here when it was the Ramada. What a change! The staff was great, made you feel like one of the family. Even the general manager pitched in with her staff to attend to the smallest details to ensure my stay was a pleasurable... more
