Find the Cheap Hartford Hotels

Do not stay here!!! I repeat do not EVER stay here. Think of a hotel horror movie. One staff guy mumbled at check in. No clue what he said. One bath towel for 2 people. Had to go get more. Outside doors do not lock. Rooms were disgusting. No desk chair. Probably in evidence locker someplace. Questionable people coming and going. They may rent by the hour here. Hotel was way overpriced. Bathroom was disgusting as you can see. Breakfast was not existent as staff said this was all the owner would put out. Coffee, questionable cereal with bugs, some very old packaged danishes. No toast though they had a toaster. No juices and warm milk. Do not believe the possible paid reviews on this hotel. Even the staff said the place was disgusting, run down and awful. If the staff says it you know it must be bad. We only stayed as we were in a non-refundable room. Starbucks is across the street and they were not too friendly there either :) At least some of the staff at the hotel was truthful. Super 8 needs to have their name removed from this location. I honestly have never stayed in such an awful Super 8.

The location is pretty perfect. It’s right across the street from a Super Walmart. There seemed to be ample parking. The hot tub was closed, but that wasn’t a huge factor to us. There’s not a lot of outside noise just due to its location, so that is nice. It’s right down the road from on & off ramps for the highway. My only complaint would be that you can hear noise from other floors. Our room was on the 2nd floor which we never heard any noise from either side room, but man it sounded like elephants above us. Granted they were kids, but wow!! Would definitely stay again.

We do not typically stay at this chain of hotels. However, we were scheduled to visit with family in southern Wisconsin (Cedarburg) on the same weekend when a a bicycle race was happening in a neighboring town and a motorcycle rally in yet another neighboring town. Thus, options were profoundly limited. And, frankly, this was the only nearby hotel that offered an available room. Our stay was less than stellar. We checked in and dropped our luggage in our room before promptly departing for a pre-arranged family dinner. We returned approximately 5 hours later and, upon entering our room (#124), we were overwhelmed by the smell of cigarette smoke in this ”100% smoke-free” hotel. The smoke was sufficiently thick to cause our eyes to burn. We called down to the front desk and explained our situation and asked if we could possibly be transferred to a different room. The very pleasant young woman who answered our call explained that the hotel was filled to capacity and, thus, she could not offer a room-switch. She made an effort, however, to do what she could to rid our room of the odor. She sprayed, extensively, a can of Fabreze in every area of the room. And it was effective... for approximately 15 minutes. In preparing for retiring for the night, we discovered that the stop-slide on our door was broken. It appeared that someone had pushed the door, from the hallway side, with such force that it bent the door frame and the safety unit into a state of inoperability. Additionally, we were unable to engage the dead-bolt because the door frame was also askew. We spent an exceptionally uneasy night of ”sleep”. To add to our frustration was the fact that we had paid twice the ”normal” rate due to the sudden influx of persons seeking hotel rooms during the previously mentioned local events. The following morning, we rose and planned for our immediate departure. Before leaving we stopped by the front desk to inform the staff about the broken locks. The two employees with whom we spoke (one young man plus the young woman who had attempted to help us on the prior evening) were very well mannered and commiserative. The young man told us that the stop-slide on that door had been broken for a period of time. We requested a credit toward the charge for our one-night stay and were told that only the manager could authorize same. They provided the name of the manager, recorded our contact information and said that they would inform him of the reported issues and that he would call us. The manager, Ron Patel, did not reach out to us so we called him three days after our departure. Mr Patel was not as pleasant as his employees. He offered us a 45% discount on our NEXT stay at his hotel. We declined and after further discussion he agreed to a meager 10% credit on our existing charges. In the course of that discussion, he said 1) he had proof that we had slept in the room for 7 hours (not in dispute and a puzzling interjection) and 2) he had no idea what we did

I thought I’d give this place a chance and I’m glad I did. Room was on the small side, but certainly big enough for two - other rooms are much larger. Bathroom was spotlessly clean. The tub was crystal white and appeared to have been recently remodeled. Had a grab bar and small-sized amenities. Plenty of hot water and good pressure. The room furnishings are a bit dated and the bed spread had a small stain, but no odors - it was a brown-ish color so couldn’t be bleached; sheets/pillows were fine. I slept very well as it’s very quiet. Desk chair was big and comfy. Both desk and bedside had power and phone charging ports, so easy to work from anywhere in the room. Wasn’t expecting much for breakfast but they had fruit, make-your-own waffles, HOT sausage and eggs, an assortment of breads and juice. There’s coffee 24/7 in the lobby. Front desk was very efficient and when I mentioned I’d be back, his face lit up. There are several restaurants within an easy walking distance and a grocery store just across the street. Those, coupled with a fridge/freezer and microwave in the room, would make this a great choice for someone who has to watch their diet or budget.
