The hotel was shady, dirty, cheap uncomfortable beds, moldy bathroom, evidence of shoddy repairs, empty vending machines... Basically i felt like i was staying in a hotel for a cheap date. Would i recommend? Only to my mother in-law!

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary having stayed at an earlier incarnation of the hotel on our wedding night. We found the stay to be friendly and very helpful.

We stayed here for an Irish dance competition in Hartford. The property is dated and was right next to the bus station. The underground parking garage wasn't easy to get in and out of with our truck. The staff were very polite and helpful. The bathroom was small, the shower curtain wasn't waterproof, and it took a while for the hot water to warm up. The beds weren't very comfortable. If you need a basic room just to sleep, then this hotel is fine. If you want more amenities, then this isn't the place you'll want to stay.

The room and hallways on the 6th floor reeked of cigarette smoke, like it was deeply settled in. We had to wash our clean clothes and jackets when we got home. Staff didn’t explain how the parking gate worked so we had to go back to the office for help. Close to the XL center but I would rather walk further or Uber than stay here again.

We needed an overnight stay for a wedding. The check in was easy, the room extremely clean. We only stayed the one night but the beds were comfortable. The tv worked fine and check out was easy least. I would definitely stay here again
