Hotels in Hartford, ConnecticutA simple roadside chain hotel on the Berlin Turnpike
7.8/10
A practical Hartford-area base with friendly staff, but room upkeep varies.
This simple roadside chain hotel is a good pick for a short Hartford-area stay with a car. Expedia and Booking.com guests generally praise clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff. Included breakfast and parking make it good value for this kind of hotel, while the indoor pool and gym cover the basics. Shops and restaurants are nearby; downtown Hartford is a drive away.
IHG describes the hotel as newly renovated, but recent feedback suggests room condition still varies. A couple of summer 2026 Tripadvisor guests mention shower mold or maintenance issues, against substantially more positive cleanliness feedback elsewhere. Breakfast earns praise overall, though some guests report limited selection or food being cleared early. Housekeeping is officially limited. We'd skip it for a car-free city break or if consistently polished rooms matter more than practical convenience.
