Residence Inn Southington

Floors are plywood thin and therefore noise travels from one floor to the lower. Staff opted to put a party on second floor and we had the «good fortune» to be right below them. High price to pay to be kept awake! I wrote this while being kept awake so at least I made good use of my sleepless night.
BYW, did I mention the barking dog in the suite next to us?

Great place the rooms are spacious and the people at the front desk are very helpful. Even have a breakfast which is ok with a solid waffle making station! The grounds are kept beautifully and there is even an area with a BBQ. Don’t even get me started about the indoor pool and hot tub.
Will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay. The staff was the nicest and most professional I have encountered at a hotel. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable. The breakfast was great. The property was well maintained. Great place!

Nice hotel & friendly staff with good location. Good breakfast & evening social dinner. My problem is excessive noise (jumping, running & playing basketball in the room) coming from the top floor. Since guests are staying for a month, hotel prefers to keep them on top floor so as to not inconvenience them. So I guess that they’re willing to just take on complaints from any guests who are unfortunate enough to get room underneath them. It is the most annoying hotel stay & we are here for 4 nights. Can’t wait to check out. Definitely ask for top floor or just make sure you do not have jumping & running kids above you or bring a bottle of Tylenol.

Super nice, very clean. Nice part of town with good restaurants nearby.

I stayed here for business. Overall it was a nice hotel.
The staff is very nice, the carpets are clean, and they have at least two flat screen TVs: one in the living area and one in the bedroom.
If you are a light sleeper, ask for an even numbered room. I had to switch from a very nice two bedroom room suite, to a single bedroom suite due to the highway traffic noise. If you can’t switch, ask for a white noise machine. They have them at the front desk.
They have free wifi and a business area with two computers and a free printer.
Serve yourself breakfast starts at 6am. They have make your own waffles, cereal, eggs, potatoes, and some type of meat, yogurt, juices, pastries, and fruit.
I would stay here again.

I think this Residence Inn is just about ready for a refresh. Stains on the carpet, door was misaligned…
I waited almost 2 weeks before a number of little things finally got to me:
— noisy AC unit, like there’s a spinning piece that’s hitting something
— my bed kept making noises for about 30 seconds after every time I moved, like there was some plastic thing brushing/​swinging against something
— the highway is basically out your window (depending which side you’re on) — not terribly loud, but the noise from the AC and bed made falling asleep a little frustrating
— room cleaning/​housekeeping is a little on the sloppy side
— wireless Internet drops off all the time, I don’t use it anymore and luckily I have an aircard (3G, and might even be faster than the wifi here… definitely close), one week there was another wireless network named «resideceinn» (note the typo) which disappeared after a few days, I’m very suspicious that may have been setup with malicious intent by a guest or someone else
It’s a solid place and I love that they serve dinner and have $ 1 beer/​wine. But those little things listed above will make me look for a different hotel next time I’m in town for more than a week again.
I will add that everyone I spoke to at the desk or in the kitchen was very nice and welcoming.

Absolutely nothing to complain about. It’s a newer hotel with clean rooms, a friendly staff, and close proximity to ESPN.
The water pressure is great, there are convenient plugs for your various portable electronic devices, the free wifi is speedy. I’ll stay here again when I’m back in town, no doubt.
The Dunkin Donuts drive-​thru next door makes it easy to grab a cup of coffee on the way to work. :)

We will have stayed here for 12 nights by the time the stay is over and the reason for the somewhat negative review is based completly on the location of the hotel.
The rooms are clean and look recently updated/​renovated. The TVs are new flat screen HD TVs not the old ones that are still found in some Residence Inns.
The crew is nice, housekeeping has been prompted and was flexible with our schedule.
But once again it all comes down to the location, there are no sidewalks really to walk and nothing really close. I mean there is a Subway and a Duncan Donuts connected to the hotel. There is a Target you can see the driveway to but can’t get without crossing two highway entrance ramps and walking right by a sign that says crossing is illegal.
Anyways a decent hotel and nice play to stay, especially if you are working with or being involved with ESPN.

Great hotel. It’s right off the highway so if you’re a light sleeper then bring some ear plugs or ask to be put on the other side of the building. The rooms look new and really clean, they have a nice kitchenette complete with silverware and all that fun stuff.
This location also serves a full buffet breakfast and dinner! Would highly recommend.
