Top Connecticut Science Center Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Hartford-Farmington

8/10 Good

"Thumbs down on the breakfast"

The Capitol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in and check out, clean room, nice views"

Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford/East Hartford

8/10 Good

"The hotel is being redecorated and I don’t think our room was finished (trim etc), but it should be nice when finished. The shower started with ice cold water for 5+ minutes until it finally got warm. Sketchy area: parking lot sign says you assume the risk, and lobby has a Security guy at night. We needed another remote for the tv to stream our shows and the front desk couldn’t help with that. Housekeeping skipped our room. But a good deal for the price: our King studio was spacious, everything clean, and the free breakfast - eggs, waffles, oatmeal, bananas etc - was excellent. I’d try this hotel again."

Economy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a great stay"

Woodspring Suites Newington - Hartford South

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good for 150$"

The Goodwin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very fashionable hotel in a good location. The mattresses and the pillows were not great. The refrigerator didn’t work. We asked for hangers and did not receive them. The Bell staff and valet staff were excellent. Breakfast buffet was OK. There is a bar on site with minimal food options. No true restaurant on site."

Delamar West Hartford

10/10 Excellent

"First class establishment"

Residence Inn by Marriott Hartford/Windsor

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and clean and they accommodate our last minute request of early check in very smoothly as well. Really appreciate it!"
