Homewood Suites by Hilton Hartford-Farmington

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place close to west Hartford. Staff was helpful."

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."

"Clean and affordable!!"

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."
