“The Capitol Hotel strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its prime location near Hartford's rail station and downtown attractions; its clean, albeit aged, interiors suggest a focus on functionality over pure style. I appreciate the responsive staff and the terrific views overlooking the park and Capitol Building; these definitely elevate the experience beyond basic accommodation. It is a solid option for those prioritizing location and service.”
