The room was clean, staff was courteous and friendly, good breakfast. Hotel is in a bad neighborhood. Parking lot is public and I was concerned that my car would be broken into. I paid for hotel parking in an underground garage.

I was here for a weekend trip visiting old friends. The hotel was directly across the street from a park, very convenient for surrounding restaurants. No frills but enough to become my go to hotel for future visitations.

It was very nice the view was so beautiful the beds were so nice and clean and tidy just the bathroom had no exhaust overall it was very good breakfast they helped my kids with the waffles. Extra fee for the parking which was not mentioned in the booking was a disappointment.

The staff was exemplary. My room was very comfortable, plenty space, especially the bathroom. Extremely clean, too...and I'm pretty fanatical about cleanliness! Bed was decent and shhets extra soft. Overall, well worth the cost, and I've stayed in plenty of Fairmont resorts all over the globe but this was a great budget hotel for a quick overnight.

Nice, clean room with excellent view, hotel is in a good location. Unfortunately the room airconditioner was very noisy, luckily it didn't bother me but it would be troublesome to many customers.

Adequate if you need to stay conveniently close to Hartford train station. Easy check in and responsive night clerk. Very basic accommodations and tiny bathroom.

It was okay. The room was dated but clean.
I had a beautiful view of the Capital Building and park, across the street. Walked my dogs there. It was a bit sad though, many homeless people. Hotel parking was full when i arrived. But, the hotel has an agreement with the lot owner adjoining their building. "Air garage " The parking lot has a lot of glass, I was concerned my dogs would slice the pads of their feet. And, the smell of urine was very strong. I didn't feel very comfortable there. The lobby staff very very nice and knowledgeable. Even though i liked the staff, i wont be returning to The Capital Hotel again.
