Bad WiFi/no WiFi Please update your system because there wasn’t an option of breakfast for $15.95 as you mentioned on your website, also the rooms are simply ordinary not worth $500 per night

I reserved a room with 2 beds and paid for the room 2 months in advance, when we got there we got a 1 bed room with 2 twin air beds. No space in the room to walk after placing the 2 beds. In addition, when I reserved it’s says free breakfast but at the hotel they said that is only for ambassadors members.

I apologize your room type was not honored at check-in. Our records do not show that breakfast was included in your reservation, but we would have been happy to give you vouchers if we were provided with a confirmation stating breakfast was included.

They offer a room with a view of the city or river of you. The city is a view of a giant convention center roof. The pool and the hot tub did not get warm especially the hot tub. It is room temperature in disturbing feeling. Also, you have to pay for parking at least $20 a night and there’s no street parking in the area.

I apologize that you were disappointed with your recent stay. We have addressed the issue with the hot tub, and have verified it is back in normal working order. Parking is limited in the area, and the state owned garage that we use for parking does charge a fee.

I was sold a room on Expedia which was for 4 people but was really only for 2 people (a king with no pull out couch) and could only provide 1 twin roll in bed. I had to sleep on the floor because it was the last room in the hotel…really? I want to be reimbursed because this was unacceptable for Expedia to sell this room as a 4 person room…..

Response from Hotel Management on Oct 25, 2023
I apologize that the room you reserved did not meet your needs. Rooms with a king bed can sometimes be sold to a family of 4, with 2 adults and 2 young children, but are not a comfortable accommodation for 4 adults.

Breakfast was amazing and room service was prompt. The room it self was good not the most modern I’ve ever stayed some furniture looked like it needed some update. When it comes to cleanliness it could’ve been better I’m a clean freak and I definitely saw some areas that clearly needed some cleaning. But the staff were so friendly and nice. I recommend trying the prossage spa and ask for Lisa she was so amazing they made our stay there that much worth it. And soooo much food around the area! Not much else to do but eat and drink. And if you want the hot tub I suggest doing it in the morning or middle of the day because there’s no chance of it being empty in the evening.

Excellent location and great stay to attend an event at the Convention Center. Rooms are rather small. They do not off a roll a way but did give a blow up mattress. Room is was clean and well kept. Property is very nice.

This is the second time I've stayed at the Marriott in downtown Hartford, the first was for a concert. The hotel is very nice. It's clean, the rooms are decent size and also clean. There are some dining options on the property itself (I have not used any of these though) and there is onsite parking. Each time I stayed the check in process was great. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. It is right next door to the Convention Center. There are several dining options across the street and the UCONN Hartford branch is also across the street. Depending on how far you like to walk it is a bit of a hike to get to the actual downtown of Hartford. If you are attending a show at Hartford Stage Company, Theater Works or a sporting event at the XL Center, it's just enough out of the way that you could take a car. But if you want to walk, you'll get get a little exercise.

On arrival, the staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating. The lobby had a wonderful lounge and Starbucks that was very convenient, clean and spacious. My issue was with the valet. I rented a Tesla and I was low on range when I arrived. The valet said they would charge it overnight - which gave me assurance. When I picked up my vehicle, it had not been charged and I needed to go to Boston airport. I then had to find a nearby Tesla charging station and it delayed by trip by 40 minutes and I nearly missed my flight. This was VERY disappointing.

Worth it. Would return with confidence.
We stayed for 3 night and the room was meticulously cleaned every day. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The city view was excellent from the 18th floor. The room was quiet despite being very near the elevator. The location was excellent. We walked to restaurants and to the Hartford Marathon. The Starbucks in the lobby was busy, allow extra time to get your coffee. The room also has a coffee maker, but there were only 2 pods and 1 was decaf. We didn’t use parking. I used the gym, it was fine. The shower had great water pressure. There was a large closet and plenty of power outlets. No complaints. Would stay there again.

Another good stay
We've stayed at the Downtown Marriott a number of times. It's a good stay for nights before an early flight out of the Hartford Airport. Having the Capital Grill immediately across the street is a great bonus. Having the Starbuck's in the lobby is also pretty great. We will continue to use the Downtown Marriott.

Overall staff was super friendly! We had a very short stay, just one night, however we did notice that our room still did have someone else’s hair on the bedding as well as another guests old socks left on the floor. It did make the room feel as though it was not cleaned as well as it should have been.
