Days Inn by Wyndham Windsor Locks / Bradley Intl Airport
The shuttle was there on time and the driver very friendly and accommodating. The workers at the front desk were also very helpful and informative. There was no need for the AC since it was in the teens outside. Ha! The only grief I have is with the toilet. It was slow functioning.
