Candlewood Suites Windsor Locks Bradley Arpt by IHG
The most impressive part here was that I slept through my alarm (user malfunction!) for an early shuttle, and if the front desk hadn't called my room I would have missed my flight. This attention to customer service is greatly appreciated and not always seen. We will be back!
