Hartford Marriott Downtown

Hartford Marriott Downtown

Hartford has had its challenges over the years not just having quality accommodations downtown but also in keeping them. Many have come and gone but now there are several really great options. This is a pretty typical Marriott with a restaurant called Vivo, a beautiful pool, spa, and fitness area and a Starbucks in the lobby. It has beautifully groomed landscaping and a wonderfully light and airy feeling lobby.

The room that we had on the tenth floor was quite luxurious but also quite petite. We had two double beds with four pillows on each, a white feather bed and white sheets. The coverlet was bright yellow in a floral pattern. The walls were covered in a yellow striped wallpaper and curtains were yellow and red. We had one comfortable chair and a hassock with a small table beside the chair. There was a pole lamp so that you could read in the chair. The window was recessed and gave us stunning views of the old state house and downtown Hartford.

There was a tall dresser with the TV on top. Three drawers for our cloths and a safe and coffee pot inside a door on the other side. The closet was quite large with an iron and ironing board and only one luggage holder.

The bathroom was very small. If you are sitting on the toilet if the door opened it would hit you in the knees. The vanity was topped with granite and had a large Kohler sink. There was shampoo, conditioner, and lotion as amenities. However, only three large towels which is weird. The tub was sparkling clean and there was a light right over it.

There was a desk with a chair if you want to work and there certainly was room for a laptop, however, it was $9.95 a day if you wanted Internet access at high speed or if you were willing to settle for dial up you could pay $1 for 30 minutes. You could, however, choose to go down to the lobby and get free wireless access. There was also a computer available near the elevators with Internet access for free.

Soundproofing wasn't as good as you would expect, we could hear every word that people walking and talking in the hall were saying.

There was a thermostat on the wall that lets you control the temperature in your room . There was also an alarm clock on the one night stand between the beds. A USA today was delivered to our room in the morning.

Vivo offers room service if you so choose. Parking is offered for $18 per day self parking or $20 a day valet. Be warned if you choose valet it is not $20 for 24 hours, time ends at noon on checkout day and after that it is $2 per hour. Self parking is by 24 hour period and the walk is almost non existent, choose self park if you plan to stay beyond noon.
