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.

The outside and hallways are not very welcoming. Hallways have drop ceilings and smell like cleaner and perhaps smoke. There was a very light covering on bed but room was pretty nice enough

The Capitol Hotel Needs a Few Tweaks and Updates

I traveled to Hartford, CT for business and chose this hotel due to the location of my job. While the location was very close to eateries, a few bars, and easily able to order if I chose not to leave; the hotel itself needs an upgrade in both cleanliness and property upgrades. Upon checking in I was greeted by a pleasant gentleman who quickly checked me in with no problems and assigned my room. But the key card system is outdated and finicky. I had to switch it out twice within my 3 day stay. My room was sloppy and it was apparent the tub had not been cleaned as there was hair in the tub and some film on the sink. I had to purchase some cleaner to do it myself but of course I was a little irritated. The next morning I asked housekeeping for a comforter but she said she didn’t understand me so I used my translator app to assist. She then brings me a sheet and I asked again for something heavier as she continued her conversation but she kept saying she didn’t know what I was asking for. I left it alone and thanked her anyway. The end of the workday I came back to my room and it had not been cleaned or touched by housekeeping which was weird because they were cleaning my floor when I asked for the comforter earlier in the day. Upon showering I noticed again my linen had not been changed out. The next morning the front desk was polite, the morning breakfast was lack luster, and the gym was out of order. Check out process was simple and pleasant.

Keep looking

The location was right next to train and major bus route which made things noisy. The area felt a bit unsafe and the whole hotel felt dated and neglected.

As expected...

To keep it brief, if you're looking for a place to just hide away for a day or two, this would be the place to go. On average, the place is just say renovated Red roof inn (literally) with different color schemes. Halls are very cramped and obviously very close corridors. To say this place has thin walls would be an understatement. Upon checking in I couldn't even access the Wi-Fi. If you can manage to handle the train station next to the hotel, it should be a halfway decent experience in the end.
