This apparently used to be a Sheraton, which was I thought it would be okay since I was vending at the convention center. It was a disappointment, and do not plan to stay there again. It is a very bare-bones type hotel. It had a few perks. It has a very large parking lot, and it is an easy 10... More

I booked this room through Priceline. We needed to be at the Convention Center early and was happy to only pay 41.00 for a three star hotel. I took a quick glimpse at the website and looked nice. When we arrived at check-in (4pm) it appeared that the outside was dated, and the temporary sign hanging was aesticacally unpleasing, but... More

I know that getting a room from Priceline as a blind bid is always risky but, since they said it was three and a half stars, I figured "how bad could it be?" I was only there to spend the night after a drive up from NYC, and didn't get in until 1AM, the positive being that there was someone... More

After reading these reviews I was very hesitant about staying here. However, we had to do so for an event so I figured it was only one night and we'd tolerate it. Upon arrival I wasn't very impressed by the temporary sign hung on the building and was not looking forward to entering the lobby. However, when I did I... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while in Hartford on business. I did not book the hotel and expected a very poor hotel based on the reviews I read here. The hotel was clean inside and out, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing I found wanting was the lack... More

After seeing the bad reviews I was kicking myself as to why I booked this after the fact. Because my reservation was only for 1 day, I figured I should be able to put up with it. I agree the hotel is a bit worn, but for the price and location it worked for me. It was clean & the... More

OK everyone, this place is really not that bad. I was expecting the worst based on most of the reviews here. It is true that this hotel was once a grand dame who is now but a shadow of her former self. However I found it to be generally clean and comfortable. The bathrooms do need a bit more attention...

...I like this place. I booked this hotel through an online bid. When I read the reviews here on TA, I cursed profusely at getting an apparently crappy hotel. When I arrived here for the week, I was still cranky. Check-in was quick and smooth. Shamika was very friendly and arranged for a small fridge for my stay. So I... More
