I have stayed there for three nights for thanksgiving. My room was nice and big and the beds were really comfy. It is run by an Indian family. They have great service. There is an Indian restaurant near on site. If I ever come back to ct I would stay at passportinn.

The upper floor where we stayed had been recently refurbished. Apparently they had a little incident with the roof collapsing under snow load. Not too worry, I'm sure it's much sturdier now! Basically, almost everything was new. Carpet, paint, TV, all very nice. Had a bit of an off smell to it, but not mold or anything, and not horrible like some cheap deodorizers. Maybe decades of Indian incense or something, that was definitely present...

Fridge and a microwave in the room, Nice tile floors, and a balcony at this price though, anywhere outside of Camden or Newark and I don't care, you're getting one heck of a deal!

My boyfriend and I had just left a concert in Hartford and were planning to go to the beach the next day, so we searched for hotels halfway between the two. The minute we stepped in, we questioned our decision because of the stale cigarette odor, the bulletproof glass protecting the clerk, and the stained carpeting down the dimly lit hallway. Because of the time of night and the fact that we really only needed a room for 8 hours, we paid and headed down the hall. Once inside the room, it only got worse. The hand towel was rougher than sandpaper, the carpet felt sticky and matted down, and the stale cigarette smell was permanently sealed into the walls. Five minutes later, we approached the man being protected by glass and asked for a refund. He gave us half our money back. We then drove a few extra miles to a Comfort Inn and had a restful night of sleep. I would advise against the Passport Inn.

My husband and I have just finished teaching here in Middletown this week, and we stayed at the Passport Inn and Suites. It has met our needs just fine! It has all the basic things we needed - king sized bed, clean bathroom, table and chair to work on, reliable WiFi, cell phone service, sofa and coffee table, TV, a large dresser, refrigerator and a microwave to make our breakfast and heat up coffee and tea water.

It is clean and well appointed, and our room even has a walk-out balcony. It was 10 minutes away from where we were teaching this week at Middlesex Community College, and only several miles from downtown Middletown, where there are more variety of restaurants, many international, that you could possible cover even in month. There is an Indian Restaurant on site of the motel, which we'll probably try next week, as we will be back for the second week as we are teaching the rest of this course and will be again staying here at the Passport Inn.

Certainly there are fancier hotels/motels in Hartford, but it would cost you at least at double the price, which is fine if that is how you want to spend your money. Also it would have been a lot more daily driving and bucking all that traffic and not nearly as convenient. The folks at the Passport are gracious, helpful, and accommodating. For us, it's been a great place to call home for a week.
