The property was very convenient to AMTRAK and to the concert hall. The staff were pleasant. Our room was tucked behind the fire tower stairs. There was a thin blanket on the bed. The top sheet was for a smaller bed. This is Connecticut in January! The bath tub was repaired with a 3x10 inch piece of tape which had black mold on it.The heater worked well. The bathroom mirror could only be used by a tall man.The room had no phone, even though the guest book provided phone numbers. According to the sign on the back of the door, the room rate is $309 per night! I've had better accommodations at a motel! For what I paid for this hotel room, I expected much more luxurious accommodations. This was not worth the money I paid.

First room smelled heavily of marijuana, floor was sticky and barhroom ceiling was leaving. When I asked for another room Iwas told they were sold out. However, when I requested a discount instead, a room magically became available. The underground garage is small and difficult to maneuver large vehicles not to mention it's need for repair.

Staff was very nice and acompassing. Especially for NYE. Parking is very reasonable. $15. Rooms are tidy and have a fridge and microwave. Which was a major plus. Would have liked to see a bed skirt on the beds. Something about seeing a box spring irks me a bit. A little outdated but good for the price.
