Stayed 2 nights during Holiday, so housekeeping was not available. No big deal, just a surprise. Staff pleasant. Room comfortable. It's an older hotel, well kept. Food decent. One hitch was the heat was out for the lobby, so breakfast was brrrrrrrrrrr! COLD! Sat by the fireplace... Ahhhhh! Warmth! Overall, a nice place to stay and a GREAT location by the Hartford / Bradley Airport.

I was only here for about 10 hours, and found the staff, rooms, and breakfast to be what I expected (above average), but one surprise was that after checking in, I had to jump in my car, drive around the parking lot, and then go into a separate building to get to my suite. This isn't a huge deal, but it was cold and late when I got there, so it was just a bit of a pain.

Again, the place is great overall and I would probably stay here again if I was in the area. Very close to the airport, decent selection of food in the immediate area. Not too bad.

Stayed on property for 2 weeks for work. Check in was decent and fast however they didnt care that you are a member of the Hilton rewards program since the business was paying for the bill. This hasnt been the case for any other hotel I have stayed at and generally has been a perk for the kind of work we do. Airlines give you miles no matter who pays the bill, so should hotels.

I stayed towards the front of the property in an upstairs unit. Kitchen consists of a countertop 5' long and is mostly taken up by a sink and 2 burner electric cooktop. There is also a microwave, toaster oven and a small coffee maker. The provisons for the coffee maker were very stale (hard as a rock) although coffee is provided in the mornings in the lobby. There is a breakfast which is better some days than others and Monday thru Thursday there is food provided form 5-7. That was kind of ok, doable. They have lite beer on tap also included.

There is a pool, gas grill and 1/4 size basketball court in the center of the complex.

I havent seen any insects however others in our group seem to have issues with bees and ants.

Internet is slow but doable for general usage.

Theres plenty of stuff within walking distance for a quick bite like the Ruby Tuesday, a sushi place which was pretty good and a few liquor stores (package stores).

Overall its a decent place but I would be much happier if I could get reward points for staying here.

This is a first generation Homewood Suites. I heard one of the managers say it was one of the first 5 Homewood Suites ever build. That means that the rooms may be a little smaller than newer generation Homewoods, but the big difference is that there are separate building and the connection to the main lobby building is outside via sidewalks. Overall, the property is in reasonably good shape. However, the area is near Hartford's Bradley Airport and the grounds are confined and have an industrial feel. The typical ammenities of a Homewood Suites are there-- kitchen, separate bedroom area, two TVs, sofa, lounge chair, dining table, etc.

We use Windsor Locks as a midway stopping point on our 12 hours drives to upper New England for the past 10 years. It is a very safe area with all the conveniences of the suburbs-- plenty of shopping, restaurants and basically just off I-91, the main north-south road to northern Vermount and New Hampshire as well as Western Maine. Windsor Locks itself is a blue collar area but is very safe for a traveler.

This year, the Homewood Suites won hands down for the best value of the hotels along the Bradley Airport hotel row. The pricing ran under $100 and you can't beat that price for the size and accommodations offered. We stayed there going to our vacation and coming back so we experienced two different rooms. The stay going was perfect. Nice room although a tad on the small side for a Homewood with fairly new furnishings and in good shape. The room coming back, however, had furniture that showed a lot of signs of wear and was rather noising at night-- people above us must have checked in at 1AM and made noise for close to 45 minutes. The desk manager made an adjustment for the inconvenience which was very satisfactory. The hotel also offers a typical Homewood Suites breakfast which I have always found to be head-and-shoulders abover most other chain hotels we've stayed at; this was no exception. For a one-night stay, this was a great value Ask for a room with a separate outside entrance-- some of the buildings in the complex offer those rooms and they tend to be larger. We stayed in the two building at the back of the property where the room entrances were all from an indoor hallway (three story building versus two story for the rooms with outside entrances). The grounds are not terrific but they do have a nice outdoor pool in a courtyard between buildings.
