The other button was not working, so as far as what I did not like about the area. It did not really feel unsafe, but there were a lot of people asking for money. They would be standing outside businesses, in parking lots, etc. Just made for an uneasy feeling.

Air conditioning was a problem from day one. filter was changed, but the room never got cooled. It was a good thing we spent lots of time out of the room. We were offered a room change the last night but my wife was asleep because we had an early flight, so that did not work. For the 4 days we stayed at this property we did NOT receive maid service, we had to asked for clean towels. the floor needed to be vacuumed and much dusting was needed all so. We were very disappointed with this accommodation

Desperately needs an upgrade
Hotel is old, crusty and smelly. Very low quality for a Marriott brand. Most TVs werent working (on a Sunday night!!) as I was checking in, and I hear lots of complaints from guests calling downstairs. Staff was very friendly and as accommodating as they could be. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and a nice touch. Otherwise, the hotel was brutal to stay in, even for one night. And parking costs extra!!! I hope to never stay here again.

We booked with our dog so we could run our marathon weekend in Hartford. They did not say anywhere on their website that they would not accommodate late check out. Check in took forever, getting bedding for the couch bed which we needed to make required two calls down to reception, operating manager sent around notices and posted everywhere that late checkout wasn’t allowed. Marriott ruined our weekend. We had a great race but couldn’t stay to have lunch because we needed to check out, we couldn’t enjoy the marathon festivities we were there for. Just awful. Marriott has lost a client for sure. Will never recommend ever.
