As expected...
To keep it brief, if you're looking for a place to just hide away for a day or two, this would be the place to go. On average, the place is just say renovated Red roof inn (literally) with different color schemes. Halls are very cramped and obviously very close corridors. To say this place has thin walls would be an understatement. Upon checking in I couldn't even access the Wi-Fi. If you can manage to handle the train station next to the hotel, it should be a halfway decent experience in the end.

Room with a view of the Capitol
We loved our room with a view of the lovely 19th C. Capitol building and a snowy Bushnell Park. The hotel is conveniently located for Amtrak travelers & walkable to everything in downtown Hartford. Check out Hartford Stage & the Wadsworth Atheneum if you come to Hartford—both a short walk from the hotel. Also very close: Black Eyed Sally’s Southern Kitchen.

Would never stay here again
Not ever staying here again. The bed is so uncomfortable and hard, that would rather sleep on the floor. Rooms and bathroom were small. Had to unplug the HVAC unit bc there was no way to turn it off. Not enough parking in the underground garage they have, which has the tightest spiraling ramp anyways. Breakfast was scheduled until 9am, but they ran out of everything by 830-845am. The only positive thing was our view of the capital building out of our window, which was pretty.

You get what you pay for
We were greeted by a very friendly staff. The lobby was clean and comfy looking. The breakfast was also very good, lots of choices. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Our backs are still recovering. There was hair all over the bed and bathroom. The water was hot. But the plumbing left a lot to be desired. Toilets didn’t flush properly. Over all, you get what you pay for. An inexpensive hotel close to all the action.

Decieved, no charging point, no amenities
First of all, there is NO ev charging station at this location. The hotels.com listing deceived me. I asked the hotel and they said they don't have it, so no choice. Secondly, the tv channels said 'no signal' ended using phone whole night. Thirdly there is no 'game room' with pingpong as shown in the listing. Nothing of that sort, deceived again. The front desk person said the game room has been removed long ago. The only best thing is the breakfast and there is a park just outside. The hotels.com should do whatever they should to correct this misinformation on their site.

False Advertising
The people at the front desk were hospitable and friendly. They provided a refund of our parking like they said they would since we didn't stay the second night. The room didn't really look like the pictures, the bed was not very comfortable, the rooms next to us were loud, and we didn't feel we should have to pay for parking.
