Holiday Inn Express Hartford – Newington, by IHG

"It was clean all around the property, quiet, pool was clean and available for my family to swim in. Breakfast was good but the staff closed the pancakes station and removed some of the food 45 min prior to breakfast time being done."

The Capitol Hotel

8/10 Good

"An Honest Review from Someone Who Travels for Work I read the previous reviews before my stay, and honestly, I was a little terrified when my assistant booked this property for my 4-day work trip. After staying here, I wanted to share my own honest experience. Location: The location is excellent. The hotel is directly across from the beautiful Bushnell Park and only about a 5-minute walk from downtown Hartford. Hotel: Yes, the hotel is older and definitely has an outdated feel. You may notice an old-carpet smell, but considering the age of the building, it wasn't a major issue for me. Room: I stayed in a Queen room, and overall, it was clean and well maintained. My only complaint was the lighting. The room was fairly dark, and I had to rely mostly on the lamps on the nightstands. Bathroom: The bathroom is also older and could definitely use an upgrade. However, it was clean and perfectly fine for taking a shower. One thing I did find inconvenient was that there were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. Breakfast: DELICIOUS! Definitely one of the highlights of my stay. Staff: The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout my stay. Overall: Was it a modern, luxury hotel? No. Is the property showing its age? Absolutely. But it was clean, comfortable, conveniently located, and the staff was great. Based on some of the previous reviews, I expected much worse. My experience was actually quite positive, especially for a work trip."

Delamar West Hartford

10/10 Excellent

"Room beautiful. We arrived very late, so the turn down service was very welcoming and room felt cosy. Staff were nonchalant, not particularly welcoming. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, particularly as the reviews rate the breakfast. Pastries were slightly stale. On check out I was struggling with two cases and shouted at by the housekeeper as I entered a cordoned off area where the floor had been recently washed. As I walked around I heard her very loudly say “do they not read?!!!” It was right at the front of the check out desk. Overall the Delamar is a lovely hotel in a superb location if you are visiting West Hartford, but didn’t feel particularly special. Btw, the lady on reception was nice and helpful, unfortunately I forget her name."
