Residence Inn By Marriott Hartford Downtown - Hartford

If you have to go to Hartford, I highly recommend the Marriott Residence Inn. Located on Main Street, it is within walking distance of the city's major attractions. The hotel is located in a very cool looking historical building. In the late 80's/early 90's, the building was the home of an indoor mall/department store. Since that time, the interior has been gutted and very large rooms put in. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing that the original intent was to create apartment rentals. The hallways are very wide and the rooms are very large. Our room was "loft style" with the sleeping area in the loft area. On the lower level was a full kitchen and a living/dining area. There were 2 TV's in the room --- one on the lower level and one on the second level. The room was clean and very spacious. The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful, and the complimentary breakfast was more than adequate. There was a small fitness room on the 5th floor of the hotel. The lobby was large, contemporary looking, and accessible from both the front and back of the hotel. A large parking lot for the hotel was located in the back at a cost (to hotel guests) of $17/night. Overall, this was a great place to stay and the price was right. I highly recommend this location.

Love the hotel it was great

We were in for my high school reunion weekend. From the booking to the room size to the service, I really love this place and continue to come back. The GM Mark Graham is great. Staff was fantastic to our child and treated us so well. From Donald in operations to Janet in the breakfast dining area to the two younger (one male and one female - sorry I cannot recall their names!) front desk staff, we felt welcome and comfortable. Will return.
