I like trains so the proximity to the station was welcome. The parks at the capitol are beautiful but there were a lot of homeless and police. The city needs a better homeless program. The underground parking felt safe but felt like driving in a basement. I heard later guests couldn't get garage parking because it was first come first serve. Unfortunate to have to use a vendor parking. The building is well maintained but is showing it's age. The tub is so dated and the drain didn't lock into place. The locks I used either worked in unusual ways, like turning up, or didn't work at all at the fitness center. I told the desk and they got it open and propped it until it could be fixed. The staff was nice and helpfull.

Never again

That was the worst stay I have ever had. The bed was extremely hard - come to find out the mattress was flipped and we were sleeping on the hard-no fabric side. Stains (blood?) everywhere - lamp, towels, mold in the shower (pictures included). Told the front desk about the fact that our neighbors were either fighting or partying till 4 am and they did absolutely nothing. Will make it known to anyone traveling to Hartford CT - stay far, far away from this place.
