"The hotel room was beautiful and comfortable, and we appreciated being able to bring our dog along. Bring your bicycles; there are lots of nice bike paths in the area. And check out events at the Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadow.2017-07-18"
"The hotel was well-appointed and had nice amenities. However, a barking dog from 7-11 PM made it difficult to relax. Good breakfast, with choices to meet the needs of most travelers. Convenient to an excellent restaurant and pizzeria. No elevator.2023-05-01"

"Close to the college and sports fields. The room was small but clean. Kids from sports event teams weren't always quiet. Nice staff. There was a small lounge with a good bartender. The food was edible, but try local restaurants instead. I'd stay at this hotel again.2016-02-24"
"Our 1st room was shabby and had the noisiest AC I've ever heard; it was like sleeping in an airport hangar. The hotel staff apologized and promised us an upgrade to a suite for our 2nd visit. However, our 2nd room was much like the 1st. No breakfast, and the restaurant was closed. Sandwiches were available from the fridge in the reception area, but they were expensive and disgusting. The bright spot was the front desk staff. Don't stay here.2021-08-14"
"Great room. The hotel staff was accommodating when we requested a late checkout. Stay here.2017-07-31"
"Great place to stay. The bi-level room was interesting and different. It felt more like home with a full kitchen and half-bathroom on the 1st level, and bedroom and full bathroom on the upper level. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend staying here, and try the restaurant next door.2016-05-19"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
