Top Van Vleck Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford/Farmington

10/10 Excellent

"Place was nice. Clean rooms, clean hotel. Breakfast was good. 24 hour coffee a big plus. Lee at the front desk was amazing, very kind and helpful. Dj Lee 💯"

Days Inn by Wyndham Berlin Meriden

4/10 Poor

"The room I was placed in had a light switch by the door that didn’t work, the only electricity that worked were the lamps that you had to walk up to to switch on — and these mildly lit up the room. The bathroom was dirty with long hair on the ground, as soon as I entered I noticed. Also, the toilet paper was not replaced, it was used and low. The room had a mini fridge that seemed to have had a broken fan since it did not stop roaring, and I couldn’t figure out a way to disconnect it from the wall. Also thought I’d add that there were two staff working and they were both helping one lady rather than quickly just checking me in. The staff took a while to check me in with no sense of urgency."

Comfort Inn Wethersfield - Hartford

4/10 Poor

"This was a disaster. Hotel is in very poor condition. We had no wifi or TV for a day and half. The pool which was reason for choosing this hotel was condemned by Board of health 6 months ago. No one came to clean our room until we asked on 2nd day. Some residents seemed like transient. Most of all staff at desk was totally useless, they made a note and nothing was done. A hotel in This state should not be open. We are requesting refund for lack of services."

Woodspring Suites Newington - Hartford South

8/10 Good

"Everything was very clean and well maintained and the staff was very nice. The bed was a bit lacking - it was oddly short and the springs were very squeaky and also I think there was plastic on it. For a budget hotel not bad though! I do wish they provided conditioner and lotion vs just shampoo and bar soap. Also it smelled weird but not terrible just a strong cleaning smell maybe."

Best Western Hartford Hotel & Suites

4/10 Poor

"Kind of dirty, floors were dirty in common area/foyer, stuff stuck to the walls, hair in the shower when we got there. Pool closed, end of May. Staff was upset when we asked for more towels on our third day. Ok place for a quick stop, but I wouldn't stay for more than one night, probably wouldn't go back."
