The Capitol Hotel
Lots of little crusty bits in the corners of the rooms. Hot breakfast was not hot and tasted stale, as if it had been re-heated (but only partially, because, as I said, it was not hot).

Holiday Inn Express Southington by IHG
The air conditioning/heating unit was very loud. Made it very difficult to sleep at night. We turned it off when we were sleeping. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay.

I landed late and needed a place to crash. Free shuttle was awesome and the hotel is super clean. Everybody was nice. The continental breakfast was great. They had a few hot items. Also, I would do it again.
