Woodspring Suites Newington - Hartford South

8/10 Good

"The place is clean and quiet, but power and TV gets knocked out by high winds easily. The means no elevator, but the lights always stay on."

Holiday Inn Express Hartford – Newington, by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very clean and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a complete one and there was a business room which was nice"

Beautifully Lit Spacious 3-Bedroom House!!

8/10 Good

"Our stay was related to a business trip in the Hartford area for a week. The house was centrally located and had easy access to stores, restaurants, hiking,and most everything. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the livingroom/tv worked perfect for us to unwind at the end of long days. However, the kitchen was a little unkept, and the cookware pretty old and in rough condition. The silverware drawer was dirty, and there were not full sets of forks, etc. This is also a two-story house, and we were on the first floor. The noise from the people walking above us was really loud at times. Overall, it was much better than staying in a hotel room for a week."
