This is a fine mid-market business hotel. The rooms are dated--no flat screen TVs and old upholstery on the chair and ottoman. The bed was large, but less comfortable than in the finer hotel chains. Pillows were nothing special. The hotel is on the wrong side of the 84 overpass from downtown Hartford, but it is not a terrible walk during the day. The common areas are nice. Parking is overpriced. The remote control in our room did not work. There was no trashcan in the guestroom. It's not a horrible option, but there are better hotels in Hartford.

Reviews of this hotel have been mixed and I believe there have been ownershiip changes recently, so which reviews attach to which periods of ownership I don't know. However, I found my stay most comfortable.

I did not see the common city amenities of bellmen and a concierge, but the front desk was most helpufl and I was quite content porting my own luggage. My room was spaciious and included a desk, couch, and king bed. The array of tolietires provided was quite complete even including mouthwash, as well as the standard shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.

Having been stunned by the high cost of a taxi from the airport ($45 plus tip), I was delighted to find a room service and dining menu that was quite reasonable. Parking is available conveniently underground beneath the hotel.

I also appreciated the free wireless. I find it incredulous that at more expensive hotels I pay $10 to $15 daily for Internet access. As a consumer, I hate being nickeled and dimed.

In short, this was a good stay at a very reasonable rate (generous discounts for multiple days), and I am happy to recommend the hotel.
