Motel 6 Wethersfield, CT - Hartford

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect"

Holiday Inn Express Hartford South - Rocky Hill by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was fine, the staff were all lovely, and the breakfast was fine. Vegan options for breakfast were very limited, but that wasn't surprising. Altogether we had a very nice stay."

Red Roof Inn Meriden

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet. Friendly staff"

Days Inn by Wyndham Berlin Meriden

10/10 Excellent

"All hotel rooms need an extra "wipe me down" so that is what I did when I arrived. It seems that this hotel only changes the sheets, takes out the trash, does a small unsanitary wipe down and dry sweeps the floor with NO mopping. SO, bed was comfy, nice clean sheets! Quiet place to sleep, VERY nice HOT shower and loved the constant checking on needing of towels and trash taken out. Although the GYM didn't feel and seem welcoming and sanitary to use and breakfast can be ALOT!!!!! BETTER!"

Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

"ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE STAY . WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY !"

Extended Stay America Suites Hartford Farmington

8/10 Good

"Walked into room 218 on 22 Sep; the room was absolutely freezing as the AC was set on full blast. Next, the cable didn’t work. Walked to the front desk and Destiny state that they constantly gave to be rebooted. “Unplug the back of the tv, then restart.” Attempt number three finally worked. Not the best, but not the worst…just meh…Destiny was great though. Friendly, inviting, fun and a great attitude. Thanks."
