Top River Highlands State Park Hotel Reviews

Wethersfield Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great for the price. Didn't hear much noise. Serves it's purpose well if you just need a place to shower and sleep. I'd stay again."

Comfort Inn & Suites Meriden East

8/10 Good

"Bueno el hotel está bien debería fijarse un poco en los detalles para que se vea mejor . Como lámpara de la habitación estaba torcida y detalles de pintura en general . El desayuno estilo usa pero bien completo ."

Best Western Plus New England Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"There was ample parking. The room was clean. The staff were polite and friendly. The breakfast was adequate."

Inn at Middletown

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel. Pool was a nice perk. Tavern was out of an entree, a side, and several salads and only had 1 non-meat option for vegetarians. Parking for guests is 2 blocks away. Apparently the only staff at checkout was also the valet: that led to a big line at morning checkout. Pls hire another person to valet."

Comfort Inn & Suites East Hartford - Hartford

8/10 Good

"We stayed here as quick stop in our 12 hours drive. I felt the room was adaquate with everything we needed. The beds were fairly comfortable. The room was clean. the breakfast was great, especially coming with the reservation. This appears to be an older hotel that has done a nice job trying to keep things up to date. ( I only say this because the bathtub/shower does say its age) But it certainly did the trick! I would definately stay here anytime!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Hartford South – Rocky Hill

8/10 Good

"Hotel staff was the friendliest I've ever encountered and super helpful. The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Pillows were a bit lumpy but not awful. They could use a warmer comforter on the bed. Other room amenities were OK and well maintained, but the common area in the lobby seemed rather sad; there was some cereal and coffee and it didn't feel inviting -- but the coffee was surprisingly good. We had some noisy neighbors who kept slamming their door and talking loudly outside ours. Overall, I feel this motel was overpriced, but still a way better value than anything else in the area."

Comfort Inn Wethersfield - Hartford

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación limpia y todo en buenas condiciones. El trato exelente"

Woodspring Suites Newington - Hartford South

8/10 Good

"Walk the person working the front desk was great. But then got into the elevador and it smelled disgusting! Like there was a dead animal somewhere in it, it was bad, I had to hold my breath. Then the halls dont have carpeting, which is fine but the floors were dirty and gross. Our room was very nice, clean, no complaints. Checked out at 745am and there was no worker, a steel plate covers the desk area, odd, and people sitting in the waiting area in bath robes, weirded us out. Location is also great."

Candlewood Suites Hartford Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out staff was excellent. The place isn’t fancy but modern and very clean."
