Breakfast menu was limited. Coffee machine in room did not work - room 901. Suspect that had been the case for some time! Did not feel the hotel had seen much love in a while. Overpriced for what it was.

I feel like shock me and was extremely good. The Atlanta and attitude of the security personnel was awful. Made me want to leave the facility. Also the parking situation and Manor parking payment left to be desired.

For a price the quality is adequate. The experience could have been easily improved if the lightbulbs were changed to slightly warmer ones and if the AC was not so extremely loud.

Beautiful view of the state capitol bldg. Room was clean and spacious. Room door did not shut fully by itself - had to push/pull to ensure closure. Main treadmill in fitness room not working. Could not access fitness room until 7am since on the same floor as breakfast space which opened at 7am. However, sign on fitness room door indicated room opened at 530am so was ready to use at 6am but was told could not access until 7am. Signage needs to be correctes or access needs to be allowed as indicated. Staff was friendly and overall good stay and value. Will definitely consider again when returning to Hartford.
