Best Western Hartford Hotel & Suites
Good basic hotel and would stay here again. Towels could be more fresh but ok. Nice breakfast offering with fresh strawberries, blueberries and yoghurt machine. The breakfast attendant was on the ball keeping items topped off during the busy period.

Days Inn by Wyndham Windsor Locks / Bradley Intl Airport
The location is very convenient for the airport. The facility and room was very clean. The only issue I had was the limited selection for breakfast. I have been to numerous other Days Inn properties and the selection was better. I did find something to eat. I had just expected more.
