Top Ellington Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford/East Hartford

8/10 Good

"The hotel is being redecorated and I don’t think our room was finished (trim etc), but it should be nice when finished. The shower started with ice cold water for 5+ minutes until it finally got warm. Sketchy area: parking lot sign says you assume the risk, and lobby has a Security guy at night. We needed another remote for the tv to stream our shows and the front desk couldn’t help with that. Housekeeping skipped our room. But a good deal for the price: our King studio was spacious, everything clean, and the free breakfast - eggs, waffles, oatmeal, bananas etc - was excellent. I’d try this hotel again."
