Top River Highlands State Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford/East Hartford

8/10 Good

"The property is undergoing renovation, so construction in the lobby was a bit challenging. But the staff under these circumstances was terrific! We had problems with the shower temperature in the room we were initially assigned, but when we left for the day, they held our bags, assigned us another room, and moved the bags there, and reduced the cost of our stay. Morning breakfast and attentive staff were a plus, and the East Hartford location had plenty of parking and allowed us to move around to surrounding communities. We would stay there again in a heartbeat."

The Capitol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Na"

Springhill Suites by Marriott Hartford Cromwell

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and staff was great!!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Meriden East

10/10 Excellent

"No hot water, and the pillows were no longer good."

The Goodwin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cleanliness was good, except not sure why but two nights in a row, they only made up one of the beds and left the other one completely undone. I had a two queen bed room, very spacious. I called the front desk to let them know, they apologized, but the next night the same thing happened and it was the other bed. I let the front desk know again, and I even asked if this is a Goodwin "troll" or something! A friend had this happen to her as well in the past when she stayed there. They assured me it is not, so it is very confusing."
