The only “ amenity” really is the breakfast. it has the typical simple buffet (solid). Our first room had a terrible smell, could not stay in there. the staff quickly rectified and gave us another room. however, working in Hartford the room fit the value of the price and you are right downtown. We we’re staying over for a concert.

Location was amazing!! On and off the highway easily. Walking distance to local restaurants, peoples arena, and Bushnell park. Felt safe. Breakfast was good and breakfast area was very clean. Our hotel view of the city was beautiful. Our 1 night stay was good with some things to take into consideration: Hotel garage is an underground garage so ceiling is low and garage is tight to maneuver so smaller cars are easier to use to park in the garage. Pillows weren't that comfortable pretty flat for my standard And one drawer kept opening on its own in the dresser. the smell of marijuana in the lobby and hallway was very strong and overwhelming I hope that can change.

The overall experience was good, however a fire alarm woke us up at 6:30 in the morning. Unfortunately we stayed at the top floor and my partner on a walker would not have been able to negotiate the fire stairs. I had indicated with the reservation that I am traveling with a handicapped person and it looked like we had an handicapped accessible bathroom. Wish we would have been accommodated in a lower floor. Thank god the alarm was a failed one (something burned in the kitchen, we were told)
