Detailed Reviews
Comparatively how places have been managing the difficulty of Covid, this place has done reasonably well. They tend to be full often, so it's likely the room was just occupied on the same day. The staff is always very pleasant, accommodating and helpful. I like they provide sanitization wipes, have kept a tissue box in the room, have operable windows, and you can ask for a sanitized coffee maker with coffee. The kitchen in the room is usually well cleaned. I do find the AC noisy, or other room's AC outside suite windows noisy. A huge annoyance for me, I know is a small thing in this big picture, is that the brown bag breakfast is junk food! At least there is an apple, and water, but then it is all sugary junk, store shelf, chemical muffins and sugary chocolate bars labeled granola bars. Overall the hotel is a great port in a storm, for a good night's sleep, and quiet office on a road trip. If the bitter taste left from breakfast were fixed, it would help leaving on a healthy note!

We stayed for a visit this past weekend, it was the first time we stayed in a hotel since Covid started, everything was as we would expect right down to being given a pack of wipes to use as we saw fit. On Sat morning we needed a toaster (there was one but I didn't look good enough) the front desk person on went and got me one and took the time to wipe down every inch of it right down to the plug. May seem trivial but I appreciated the safe steps he took. We love staying here and do so everytime

Booked my reservation so I could visit my mom who is 93 and resolve several issues to simplify her finances. Arrived at the Residence Inn at about 8 pm. Paul on the front desk greeted me warmly, asked after my husband and upgraded me to a one bedroom unit. He asked if I needed a wake up call so all of that was complete once I went up to my room. During my stay, I was always warmly greeted by the staff, especially Paul, Carol and Cheryl. Even the Housekeeping Supervisor and breakfast attendants asked about my mom! When I checked out, the staff wanted to know about my next trip to Avon to visit family and friends. I'll be headed back to this "home" away from home in the fall at the latest. Thanks Residence Inn Hartford Avon for a great stay.
As usual, the room was very comfortable and super clean. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices and enough variety from day to day. The fitness facility was clean and had an acceptable range of equipment. There's a large fitness facility with daily access for a fee nearby. [in the warmer months, there are more fitness options available outside] Parking, as usual, was plentiful. The location is very convenient to restaurants, shops, banks and other useful locations.

Visited January 17-21. Have stayed here repeatedly and it was terrific as usual. Parking areas and walkways we're cleared if snow and ice and sanded and salted appropriately. No issues with slipping or sliding. Room and public areas all very clean. Very comfortable, warm and cozy. Welcoming and helpful staff.

I have stayed at Residence Inns for years, as I prefer to have a fully equipped hotel rooms. So when my wife and I chose our venue for our wedding, it was a no brainer me to have our room block at a residence inn. Unfortunately, the Residence Inn Hartford Avon was the only option close enough to our venue. Had I known what a nightmare dealing with this hotel, and how rudely they would treat our guests, would be, I would have had our room block elsewhere. Between being extremely difficult about early check in for our guests when they were not even sold out the night before the wedding, to being incredibly rude to family members traveling with elderly family requesting early check in by saying, “Don’t you think you should have planned better?” Instead of just saying, “Sure, early check in shouldn’t be an issue because we aren’t sold out the night before,” the response was essentially, “Tell your guests who live locally to spend an extra $300 and stay on Friday night as well.” Just completely out of touch with reality. Our wedding was perfect, and the only problem we had was this hotel. I wouldn’t ever recommend this place to any bride or groom looking to have a room block here, unless you enjoy being constantly stressed out by them and getting passive aggressive email responses from the director of sales, Sheryl. I most certainly will never be staying at this location again, and I will be taking our complaints to corporate. Our wedding guests had almost half of the rooms in the hotel, you would think given the loss of business over the last year and a half, they would be grateful for so much business, but customer service certainly isn’t a priority for them.

The hotel was conveniently located near the town of Avon, Connecticut. The amenities were very good. The eggs at breakfast were perfectly cooked, moist and fluffy. And the nearby row of condiments even included salsa. A large stacked stone fireplace in the eating area lent New England charm to our early morning breakfast.

When we signed in they gave us a room on the third floor but the elevators were not working so they then gave us a room on the first floor. Unfortunately in this room the shower head was missing so they moved us across the hall. We always stay at a Marriott so we let these things slide. I found the one bedroom suite small compared to other Residence Inn's we stayed at and the pull out sofa bed mattress needs work. As far as location goes it was 2 miles from my grandsons games and that was a big plus. Due to covid breakfast in the bag was a small bottle of water, orange,granola bar an a muffin. The staff was friendly and the place was clean.

I've stayed at the other related brands like Courtyard and Fairfield Inn, this was my first time at a Residence Inn. It's a convenient location for staying locally (mostly Simsbury for me) exploring the nearby Parks like Stratton Brook State Park, as well as the walking/biking paths, which can be accessed by Sperry Park in Avon, very close by. Also not far from the Heublein Tower and UConn as well via I-84. Route 44 has all the food/shops along it with many options. Very nice place and welcoming Staff upon arrival at the front desk! Studio Suite was bigger than I expected it to be as well. And this is all during COVID that we're going thru, I really appreciated my weekend vacation! And I'll be staying here at this Residence Inn again in the future...!

The rooms are always comfortable, especially the quality bedding that they use. We actually bought Marriot pillows and bed linens a few years ago because we love them so much. One thing I might suggest is that the hotel invests in a textured floor in the showers. My wife almost slipped and fell.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay here in Avon in order to attend family celebrations. The hotel is comfortable and well located off main roads, i.e. no road traffic. The only disappointment was due to Covid restrictions, and we couldn’t enjoy the buffet breakfast. A bag per person was provided each morning with a water bottle, an apple, a granola bar and bag of mini muffins. We were given coffee pods for our room coffeemaker, packaged creamer and sugar at check-in. Fortunately there are two great coffee shops through the pathway onto Route 44 for some really good stuff!

Hi,
Our hotel is about a 30 minute drive to Bradley Airport.
There is taxi and ride services available. We do not have a shuttle.
Thanks!
Just seeing your question now. I honestly don't know. It's not near the airport at all. There are many hotels much closer to the airport.
