Hartford, Connecticut Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The Inn was really beautiful. Our room was quaint and quite lovely. The Inn is situated in downtown Middletown at the beginning of Main Street. We were able to walk to the other end of Main Street at night and again the next day. If we ever visit Middletown again, we will definitely be staying at the Inn.

Our party of four felt like if we were staying in a Fairy Tale hotel close to the city, but far away from all. Simsbury is a small quaint town near Farmington, West Hartford, Connecticut. The inn sits in a historical site. The amenities are fine. The pool was clean and eye pleasing. The amenities in the gym and changing room were just right. Plenty of shampoo and conditioner. Towels were available. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We all felt welcomed. The quality of the food was superb. We had breakfast in the small cafeteria/restaurant and the chef who was preparing it, knew his trade very well. The flavor of the dishes were delicious. Everything was fresh. The prices were reasonable. The lobby boasts a quiet sitting/reading area with books, newspapers and board games. You sit in front of an elegant stone fireplace that makes you feel at home. I recommend this inn and I will visit it again.

I always stay here when I am in Simsbury. It is comfortable and gracious, with the charm of an old house. The staff if very friendly and welcoming, so there is nothing stuffy about the place. The dinner restaurant is relatively new, and I haven't eaten there yet, but it has a good reputation. I'll try it next time I stay. This is a good value, but fills up fast when there is a big event in town.

It was a good experience, check-in was simple and easy and we were given a late check-out. Very comfortable and good location.

We stayed for two nights in adjoining rooms. The beds were lovely -ours a canopied king and our two adult children had beautiful queens. The staff was lovely and helpful. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay and I will return. The only negative was the restaurant. We returned from a funeral on New Year;s Eve and had a decent but not great dinner. On New Year;s Day we got back at 8:30. The kitchen was closing at 9. We ordered only to have one of items missing at the last moment. A substitution was made but came out poorly cooked. Our hambugers had frozen tomatos on them and the rolls were cold and not toasted. We requested an additional side and were told the kitchen was now closed. I realize it was a holiday but the food was horrible. The bar tender was very pleasant and helpful and did her best. But who ever was cooking should probably be fired for the poor attitude and poor performance. I know it was a holiday but that is the true test of a restaurant -to perform well in difficult circumstances.

This hotel was a 15 minute drive south from Six Flags New England. Expecting just a place to sleep I was pleasantly surprised to find this hotel was of high quality.

The lady was great. Great cust serv. The rooms were spotless.. very happy with the stay.

Arrived after snowstorm. Room ice cold on 2d level. Packed towels around "radiator" to stop cold air flow and returning 6 hours later room was "warm". Bed comfortable. Stairs up littered with garbage, paths incompletely shoveled. Asked for blanket and got one from desk expeditiously which was full of burn holes. Skudzy place.

When I checked in I was offered a lovers suite out of that's 70's show with a tropical twist. Red plush circular bed with mirrored ceiling. I love jacuzzi's so I gave it a shot. 1 light plugged in to mask the dirt and out dated furniture. I passed quickly and asked for another more common but shabby room. With a used open bar of dial soap on a soap dish and hair gel as if I got the maids room. Table was moved and exposed a circle where it was previously. Then when I sighed with no where else to go so Kate on a Saturday. I sat to urinate and a adult Roach, very pregnant walked across the floor very slow and noticible like I was in her space. Good points I felt safe. Its an old out dates hotel whose owners focal point is probably being open and advertising. Location is fabulous, food, shopping etc foot steps away. Young people, folks not staying in the room just need a rest and a place to store a cold drink and nuke a meal... You get what u pay for.

Not the best clientelle, but room was clean, bed was comfortable, and TV worked fine. Can't beat the price. At that rate, you can get breakfast at DD and still have loads of cash leftover. Motel manager was very nice and accommodating.
