I've been meaning to write this review for awhile. A friend of mine and I (both of us females) stayed here while in town for a conference. We were hoping for a cheap room that would be effortless. We got more than we bargained for.
We reserved a room with 2 double beds. We were given a king room. The parking lot is large and poorly lit. A bit uneasy for the two of us. We entered our room and it reminded me of...well, staying at a relatives house who doesn't clean and smells. The room was not clean and there were stains on EVERYTHING. The bathroom was small and ancient and everything was stained yellow.
The highlight of the evening was something that I had never experienced in any hotel or hostel I have stayed in throughout the world. When we pulled back our covers to crawl into the king bed, we discovered a pile of coarse body hair (pubic??) underneath the comforter.
Well, that was it for me!!!!!
I hightailed it down to the front desk...which is located in a tiny building in the middle of the parking lot. The man said that he couldn't solve the problem because the sheets couldn't be washed at that hour of the night. We demanded to be moved to a room without hair!! Reluctantly, he moved us to another king room...not 2 double beds. I was so freaked out. The manager spoke very poor english. We had trouble communicating.
There is no easy way to get to downtown Hartford from this hotel. No public transportation...keep this in mind!! We couldn't get to the convention center.
When we went to check out on sunday the parking lot was jammed full of cars. When we opened the door of the reception building, the tiny lobby was jammed full of people in white robes. Apparently they rent the tiny reception kiosk out to a church that wears robes. A cult perhaps??? Creepy!!!!! They all looked at us like we were intruding and they slammed the door on us. So much for checking out!!! The manager was no where in sight.
Pay the extra $$ and just stay in downtown Hartford. After this experience, I always check hotel beds for body hair!!
