My room was a great value and it was clean, so no complaints there. I only wish there had been tissues in the room. It would be convenient if they had shampoo and conditioner in addition to the soap, but I travel with my own anyway. Oh and the TV remote was damaged and should be replaced.

I find Motel6 wich is at the Airport to be a nice place to stay. It might not be the Ritz of motels, but for me, friendly responsive service is key to a comfortable stay. Renovations of the rooms is completed and they look nice. Except for the aircraft in the sky, which is at the airport, no complaints. If I was to point out one flaw. It would be exterior trash removal needs to be stepped up. Better larger receptacles and twice daily walk and pickup would be nice. The staff is GREAT. I have stayed in the past 3 months a total of 48 nights. The price is right. Convenience is perfect to all areas. THANKS to Mack and all for a great stay.

This motel is affordable and my room was really clean. It smelled clean too. Mack was very friendly and accommodating.I am very skeptical about motel and hotel rooms so a clean room means more to me than anything. I had an extended stay here and I loved how every other day or so I was given fresh towels. The cable didn’t work but if you have a Roku or fire stick , you can just plug it right in so that didn’t bother me. The room was not perfect overall but it was comfortable and clean so that’s what mattered most. It’s right next to the airport so you will hear loud planes fly overhead, it’s cool to watch, but can be a little nerve wracking when trying to settle down for the night. It does not wake me up out of my sleep though. The walls are thin so if there are noisy neighbors you will hear everything. But for me those noisy neighbors only stayed two days so the rest of my stay was quiet. The service was friendly and they are willing to address any issues you may have. It’s also close to a few fast food places and a very delicious Japanese food restaurant.

Very nice hotel in Connecticut with clean rooms reasonable prices and friendly service. The price was higher than last year but what can you expect after the Democrats ruined everything.

Correlation of expectations is the key to not getting disappointed. The place is cheap and clean. The service is good and friendly. However, there’s some cigarette odor in the rooms and nothing looks really new. However, my family slept here for $92 which was the cheapest option we could get. It’s the only hotel within range that slept an entire family of two parents and three kids in a single room, which probably saved us more than $100 for the night.

If you're looking for peace and quiet this is not the place for you it's across the street from Hartford international Airport and if I could post a picture or a video here you would see what I had to deal with it was crazy they were either taking off or landing every 2 to 3 minutes all day long into the night till like 11:00 and then 11:00 p.m. it kind of slowed down to let you sleep and about 9:00 a.m. they were at it again so yeah it's not a good place if you need some sleep and rest.

Very good hotel for those on a budget. Clean, up-to-date. Generally felt very safe there. The only issue of course is the noise from the planes flying overhead but that's to be expected near an airport.
