This is my first time at The Capitol Hotel in Hartford, CT, and it was easy to find at night. I chose it for convenience, closeness to the state government building where I had business, and competitive room price, and I am happy with my choice. I walked just down the street and found a great restaurant with good food and a live band, Black-Eyed Sally's Southern BBQ. I recommend this hotel.

Faye

We moved rooms 3 times 1st room smelled of urine generally not clean or comfortable 2nd time wiped down surfaces and tried to settle in to work. When ready for shower no water pressure and no hot water. Front desk nonchalant full of excuses not to help; no maintenance person on call to fix issue. Changed room. 3rd time. We move to another smaller no refund for smaller space Omg the thick dust on the counter by the tv was terrible, and a musty moldy smell. Tried to call front desk with in room phone, but it wasn’t connected to anything. This [so far] is the worst room(s) hotel ever we have experienced and we travel. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Management/owners look into this issue. The location is on point thus, the hotel should be terrific. Instead, you’re taking advantage of customers and have no issue with such terrible, terrible deceit. Stay and see for yourself.

The front desk receptionist had an attitude. It smelled like cigarettes/weed on our floor. The bed was hard as a rock and if you drive a larger vehicle have fun fitting into the garage- and they charge for parking.
