Good for a night

The service was good and it's very clean. However, the beds are very stiff with minimum blankets (one sheet and a very thin cover). The pillows are extremely flat and not soft. You can hear a lot of traffic outside but that didn't bother me. The parking in the garage under the hotel is SO small. Thankfully I had a compact car or I would not have been able to park there due to there only being four compact car spaces available (even then my car barely fit). Beware of the lot behind the hotel! It is not part of the hotel and I got a $78 parking ticket for leaving my car there for ten minutes while checking in.

The rooms were great, and the staff was helpful. The underground garage is VERY difficult to get out of. I had to do a 7-point turn, then found I was aimed the wrong way and did another difficult 7-point turn to get turned around before leaving.

So originally we were booked to stay at the Goodwin Hotel about two minutes away. Got there and our room wasn’t ready! We had 1 hour to get ready for our friend’s wedding. I went on Expedia app, searched what was available in the area and The Capitol Hotel popped up. Room was HALF THE PRICE from the Goodwin Hotel!!! So I booked it and went there. Got there and was greeted with a friendly staff member at the front desk. He checked us in quickly and gave us the BEST room available. Top floor with an AMAZING view, directly across from the Capitol building overlooking the park! Room was clean and we had no complaints whatsoever ever. Breakfast the following morning was also plentiful and delicious! Eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles, OJ, fruit, cereal, outmeal and coffee was available. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed. Also I was shocked when I went down to the lobby to purchase toothpaste and was told it was complimentary!!! Upon checking out we were greeted by another great staff member at the front desk, who informed us about the annual jazz festival in July and Jamaica festival beginning of August. Next year we will come back to Hartford and we WILL be staying at the Capitol Hotel! 5 ⭐️

LiL Wayne concert

The stay was excellent overall. I chose this hotel due to its purported 5-minute walk to the Lil Wayne concert venue, but it actually took 25 minutes. Consequently, we drove and paid $20 for parking. Despite the 20 dollars, the concert itself was outstanding. Would stay here again. Parking is Ok

Not bad for the price and

We spent 6 nights as we visited family in town. Price for the hotel stay was fair. The hotel condition is good overall, and the staff and service was fine. If you have a car be prepared to pay for parking, hotel doesn’t have free parking only 15 minutes parking for checking in.
