Residence Inn by Marriott-Hartford

Sorry guys, 1 Mbps free wifi is bullshit. And charging $ 5 for a day of higher speeds is also bullshit. And the shower started to get cold after about ten minutes at a time of day without anyone else showering (2am).

Windsor CT right off 91. Suites with full kitchen King size bed and a working fireplace! Free breakfast in the morning and friendly staff. At $ 130 a night it is a great place to stay.

I will start off by saying a few weeks ago I gave this hotel five stars due to my stay and experience being great. Can’t say this about my latest stay yesterday. I had my nephew and a few of his friends as his 12^th birthday is today and hes going back home to North Carolina. Mind you I had my niece and about ten other little girls a few weeks ago. My nephew and his friends were having a great time then the shifts changed. Not only were we asked to have people leave because there are only 6 ppl per room. Mind you I never signed anything stating this and when asked about this policy I was told they only ask people to sign on Friday and Saturday. There adults there near the grills no loud music no one being disturbed, when asked for us to leave or have people leave. My personal feelings is there were too many black adults in on setting. When I had my nieces get together there were only little girls there, this time there were adults and there was a problem. The police was called because we had to many people and we were asked to leave. I will be pursuing this issue on a corporate level and I will not recommend anyone stay here that doesn’t want to be profiled. One star is reaching.

Pros:
— Large, comfortable living space.
— Clean.
— Quite comfortable bed.
— Very nice in-​room kitchen, though we didn’t use it.
— Desk staff is very nice.
Cons:
— Desk staff is only erratically useful: we had to give up and call the national number both to make and later change our reservation.
— Epically loud HVAC, right next to the bed.
— We were in the only building not marked as «non-​smoking» on the map, and while the desk clerk said «they’re all non-​smoking,» the smell of cigarette smoke in our room, was *almost*, but not entirely, completely covered by the stench of chemical cleaners.
— A Saturday night loud drunk house party in one of the units had dozens of local teenagers running around, and went completely unnoticed by the desk clerk for hours, even when they were blocking the access road. Nothing was done until I got home and told the desk clerk, who called the police.

Booked a room through Hotel Tonight. Was worried when we drove up that the place might be run down. The office is not that great but the room was immaculate and very comfy! Lady at front desk was very nice and helpful. We will stay here again!

On 12÷18÷19. My family and I traveled from New York City to Windsor, CT. The previous week we made reservation to stay overnight at the Residence Inn Marriott located at 100 Dunfey Lane, Windsor, CT 6 095. From the time I made the reservation through the day we checked out. We couldn’t have asked for more the staff was amazing. From the front desk to the general manager John Jayne. They have Complimentary social evening’s Monday — Thursday, they serve dinner. Although we were not going to be around for dinner the staff volunteered to save us dinner until we arrived late that evening. Although I did not have my original AAA membership ID John was able to accept a copy of my membership, which allowed my family and I to occupy a beautiful two bedroom suite. We will be back for our 2014 family reunion. Thank you all, Your Amazing Service is what makes your hospitality outstanding! Al Rosario

Hot, complimentary breakfast. Huge, spacious room. WiFi that really, really worked. Quiet location. This was a good extended stay location.

The front desk/​check-​in was very friendly and efficient. The inside of the room looked picture perfect and smelled just as good. However after looking closely it looked like a quickie clean up job. Had some leftover hair in the bathroom behind the toilet. And built up dirt in the cracks. I had a kitchenette, but their wasn’t any dish detergent to wash the plates with. Room looked newly renovated, but once again after closely looking I noticed the toilet tissue holder coming loose from the drywall and several dent marks on the room door. Leading me to think that they painted over the old worn out hotel doors during renovation. I had to change rooms because the central air unit (condenser fan) just outside the patio door was so loud I couldn’t sleep. But hotel staff made this an easy transition. Good: fitness room, swimming pool, basketball court, front desk, conveniently located off the highway, quiet, decent continental breakfast, bed is VERY comfy. Bad: not the best Residence Inn I have been to, road leading to it looks abandoned, could be cleaner.

We stayed here for a long weekend over Thanksgiving. I love me a Residence Inn for longer stays… the full kitchen was great, the bed was super-​comfy, and the water pressure was enthusiastic.
The check-​in process was a snap– we arrived around 2:00am but since we called ahead our room was happily waiting for us.
I was very happy to see a note in our room saying, «Hey, our housekeeping staff would like to enjoy their Thanksgiving, so they’ll be refreshing your room on Turkey Day, but they’re not gonna do the usual scrub-​down. Thanks for being cool.» (OK, I paraphrased that, but you get the idea.) I like that they think about their employees’ happiness while balancing the needs of their guests, too.
My only gripe was that the wifi signal wasn’t very strong in our room. This is OK since we didn’t spend too much time at the hotel… but if I were traveling on business it would have been a problem.
I would absolutely stay here again.

Hi All,
This is a followup. Just wanted to add that i have had several occasions more recently, where the dishes were not cleaned well… the rooms were not as clean as one would hope. Thus i am concerned about the cleanliness of the sheets. However still no bed bugs observed.
Note — some rooms have flat screen tvs and fireplaces… I noticed that they are slowly modernizing the rooms with up-​to-​date TVs. I recommend this place IF you are a long term resident/​consultant or have a need for a apt-​like place. The suites are quite large with a loft bedroom and bath upstairs and a sofa bed in the living room below. In addition, there is a bathroom downstairs and a dining room with a Murphy bed.
Also…happy hour every weekday includes an average meal/​appetizer and free beer/​sodas.
So i still give it 4 stars (but it is more like 3.5 now)

What a dump. Woke up this morning, went to enjoy the continental breakfast and got some gnats in the OJ. Mmmmmm runny eggs. And all that shit about free booze…3 cans of beer per weekday night.
I HATE CONNECTICUT, it is literally the turd coming out of this countries ass (Massachusetts)!

Ok, I normally don’t give one start for hotels, but this was a nightmare hotel.
First It was very noisy to begin with, and I found out that my upstairs guests were just two nice old couple, But YOU CAN HEAR ALL OF THE NOISE! TV, regular conversation, walking to the bathroom, etc. I’m deep sleeper but I felt like someone was waking on my head all night long!
Second, the house keeping — there’s none. I woke up, jumpped in the shower, and I realised the wall was covered with long hairs, not one but several. And there were soap from previous guests. Yikes.
It was too late to change room, so I just told the front desk and left the place. Sure the front desk was really nice and went extra mile to print out the directions, etc, but the rest of experience made me felt I never want to go back there again. And for all that crappy room I had to pay $ 160?!
Seems Residence inn around the country is failing this past months, time to switch to other brand?

This wasn’t the cleanest Residence Inn I’ve stayed at (hair on my towel, yuck) but the service was at least kind. I was also embarrassed to find that they do your dishes. I didn’t intend for them to wash them, but was certainly happy to find that they did. I stayed in building 4 and wireless was non-​existant. I had to go sit in the lobby to get any kind of signal and as you can imagine, this was neither comfortable nor condusive to a productive work environment. I went to the «Managers Toast» a couple of times and was actually pretty hapy with the mass produced food they put out. I mean, you probably won’t want to make an evening out of it, but it helped break up the monotany of the week while I was staying there. The location was convenient since it was close to the airport, and the highway, but since it was in a residential area I felt safe going for walks in the evening. Staff was mostly helpful, but one particular maintenance guy was a little too anxious to be my friend, which creeped me out. The Windsor Residence Inn served it’s purpose but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. The downtown Hartford location cost more, but after taking a curiosity motivated stroll through the lobby, it seemed like you got your moneys worth.

Residence Inn is a predictable brand, and what you expect is what you get. The rooms themselves have nice kitchens (dishes/​cups are limited), tidy bathrooms with good showers/​showerheads and comfortable bedrooms. The beds themselves are easy to sleep on, but in the summer, all of the sheets will get you very hot and uncomfortable, so remove them before you go to bed at night. Breakfast is adequete, and they have a three-​day cycle of menus. Day one is eggs, sausage and hash browns (and occasionally croisants), day two is eggs, hash browns and tortillas with salsa and day three is biscuts, gravy and eggs. In addition, things like youghurt, cereal and bread are available daily. The weekday breakfast lady is strange and rude — EXCERCISE EXTREME CAUTION!!! Pool is nice and refreshing (not heated), and hot tub is relaxing, but not that hot. Small coin-​operated laundry with washers/​dryers. No fitness room, but guests have access to the Gold’s Gym nearby. Also, Monday to Thursday, an evening snack is served. Once was enough, except I found they serve free booze at that time. Overall, a standard and simple Marriott Residence Inn.
