“Airport Oasis”
I flew in from California for a business meeting in Rockville, CT. Literally flew in Tuesday night, meeting Wednesday and flew out 6 a.m. Thursday (apparently most everyone leaves Hartford Airport at 6 a.m.!). The hotel was recommended to me by my Hartford contact, who did not recommend staying in Rockville or even in downtown Hartford. It was a good recommendation. The hotel was attached to the airport but very quiet, I had a view of the runways and planes but no noise. The hotel is a bit older but it is clean and nicely maintained. There is a convenient and moderately priced restaurant which I ate at 2 nights, very low key and relaxing, and good food. Also the hotel provides a free internet cafe with computers, which I used a lot since I did not bring a laptop. This was a huge bonus. Because I arrived late and left early, I saved a lot of time traveling to/from airport. There is nothing to do there but I had enough to do workwise, or watched tv, used the internet or ate. I would definitely stay there again. Staff very good, too. I had to have my card-key replaced once since it did not work, no problem. I wanted to use the lovely pool but did not have time, it's indoor and looked inviting, also an exercise room. A lot of airline folks stay here as well as travelers, they also have a nice sports bar and tv's in the lounges playing sports.
