The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and especially in the hotel bar.
rooms were fine but appeared bigger in images online. they were clean and comfortable though
Very fashionable hotel in a good location. The mattresses and the pillows were not great. The refrigerator didn’t work. We asked for hangers and did not receive them. The Bell staff and valet staff were excellent. Breakfast buffet was OK. There is a bar on site with minimal food options. No true restaurant on site.
The hotel is excellent. The location, unfortunately, is not. Hartford is not exactly a place to hang out in, and after work is done, the city seems to shut down. There's not much to do except attend a basketball game, which is what we were there for, but the hotel itself has everything you need. Honestly, if you need to stay the night in Hartford, I would recommend the Goodwin because you literally don't need to leave since it has everything.
We didn’t really use many of the hotel’s amenities, but the breakfast was decent.
The hotel is definitely a boutique property, although it did give off a little bit of a The Shining vibe—probably more because of the style and atmosphere than anything else. That said, it was nicely modernized, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.
The valets were excellent and very helpful. If you’re not using the valet service, though, parking is not particularly convenient and there aren’t many good options.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay, with friendly staff and a unique atmosphere.
Valet parking was easy. Hotel staff was amazing and very helpful. Hotel bar was excellent. Overall stay was amazing and other restaurants were easily a walkable distance.
The hotel was very nice. Staff was wonderful. Room was clean. The only thing I didnt like was they didnt change my sheets, they took my original bed sheets, and simply tucked it back to the bed. Most hotels replace it entirely and make the bed. Breakfast was very low end like cereal and water..no options to eat breakfast. No restarant just a bar downstairs with Tapas and very limited on openings. I didnt mind as more places were available outside the hotel, but still it was a nice place to stay. I do plan on returning becuase they made me feel welcome and with respect. I value that over anything.
I was very surprised by the behavior of management at the location we arrived a bit early and kindly asked if there was a room available since we had traveled for quite sometime; they said no because the location had a contract with the pilots and we would have to wait until regular check in at 3pm. That is understandable however knowing our situation they still made us wait until 3:45 waiting in the lobby for over three hours. We watched as other guest arrived and were checked in and given rooms quickly. I was very surprised that they were unable to accommodate our situation nor have the room available at 3pm. The valet guys were excellent though very helpful and considerate. I would not recommend this place at all for the amount of money it cost I am still at a loss for words with the attitude of the manager.
The hotel is unique and very well decorated, the staff was pleasant and helpful, and the location is within walking distance to restaurants and entertainment. The reason for a lower star rating is the room was very warm despite having the air turned as cool as possible our room was 78 degree’s and the continental breakfast was extremely sub par especially considering the price of the hotel. There was a waffle maker, packets of oatmeal, yogurt and some fresh fruit (apples & clementines).
We had a problem with the heat in our first room, and staff was very accommodating and relocated us to an upgraded room. Beautiful hotel; clean; friendly staff.
The hotel was very clean. Staff were friendly. Housekeeping was very nice. The continental breakfast was okay, I was hopeful for bit more options. The main elevator was under maintenance but alter service elevator was available. Waking distance to State Capitol building and performing arts.
I got lost looking for the entrance coming from the back side through Goodwin Square; maybe clear signage at that end will be helpful for others. Overall very nice, and clean with hotel. I would definitely stay again.
