The price was very cheap. I had to book this room last minute and late at night because my transportation had been cancelled and I needed a place to stay overnight. The room was clean. The bed was clean. The bathroom door would not close all the way. The shower did not look clean. And a ceiling tile in the bathroom was misplaced.

Just Awful

I had enough reward points for a free night. Never again. The room was dirty. Even though it was a non-smoking room, it smelled of stale smoke. I was itchy the entire time. My guess is that they have bed bugs. So happy we arrived late and left early the next morning. Even for free it wasn't worth it.

This hotel is ok for a cheap last minute resort close to the highway

Pros: close to highway
I was supposed to have a room with 2 beds but there was only one. Also, the bathroom was broken and didn't close all the way. The room serves its purpose as a cheap last minute stay but don't expect anything comfortable. The wifi did not work.

Cheap and Gets the Job Done

I booked this hotel because I had a conference to attend in Hartford. Though a little nervous because some of the reviews, I decided to book because MONEY is MONEY and a penny saved is definitely a penny earned in this economy. I got a room with a King Bed. It had Cable TV, a nice hot shower and free wireless and i paid $50.. I dont see how you can complain.. its not the Ritz and I am saving a lot of dough for the basics.. I would stay again and I would recommend this for anyone that is on a budget.. no, dont go here for your honeymoon but a quick night or two is just fine..

IF YOU STAY HERE, BE SURE TO LOCK THE DOORS!

WE ARRIVED LATE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AND CHECK OUT EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. WE KEPY TRYING TO SWIPE THE CARD THEY GAVE US FOR OUR ROOM AND COME TO FIND OUT THEY GAVE US SOMEONE ELSE'S ROOM. THE PERSON THERE OPENS THE DOOR WONDERING WHY WE ARE TRYING TO GET IN! THEN WHEN THEY DO GIVE US A DIFFERENT ROOM, SOMEONE TRIED SWIPING THEIR KEY INTO OUR ROOM! THE STAFF APPARENTLY DID IT AGAIN TO US! IT WAS SCARY AND I FELT REALLY UNSAFE THE ENTIRE TIME. THAT ONE NIGHT THERE WAS A REAL NITEMARE. THE FRIDGE SMELLED ALSO! JUST SPEND A FEW EXTRA BUCKS AND GO ELSE WHERE...SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!
