Residence Inn Hartford Manchester

The room is big. And the location is very good. Surrounded a lot of malls. Fantastic!

We stayed at this properly last weekend for one-night to visit family who live nearby. The immediate area around the hotel has several malls and townhome complexes and is just a few blocks from an entrance/exit to Interstate 84. This property appears to be the newest of the three Residence Inns in the greater Hartford area. I was travelling with my wife and mother-in-law so I booked the two bedroom suite for the three of us. The room was available at 3pm and we were assigned a Pure Wellness suite on the second (middle floor) of the North wing. The full kitchen comes with dishes and cutlery for four people and has a two-slice toaster and full-size microwave, along with various pots and pans. Oddly, there is a single service CV1-style coffee maker with two packets of regular and decaf coffee along with a full-size drip coffee maker but no filters or packs for it. We ordered take out food from a nearby Thai place and enjoyed a relaxing dinner in the room. Breakfast was standard waffle station along with eggs, pork sausage, and breads and cereals, along with pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches. The buffet area was a bit crowded but we managed. Seating was ample (hotel was sold out for our night) during breakfast as was parking (I noted there's a small overflow lot across the street from the main entrance). I did note the soundproofing wasn't that great; the banging and thumping of the kids in the suite above us running around was pretty loud and I could hear voices from the room next to our bedroom. It didn't impact our sleep, though. Both bathrooms had shower/tub combos with wall-mounted toiletries. One thing I will note regarding the bathrooms is that while there are grab bars for the tubs, there aren't any around the toilets so if that's a need, book the ADA-compliant version of this suite, if possible. Overall, I was very happy with the quality and comfort of our room and the very friendly and helpful staff and will certainly stay here again.

The Residence Inn by Marriott Hartford Manchester in Manchester, CT was an amazing place to stay. From the time I checked in and was greeted by a smiling wonderful representative to the clean welcoming facility to the spacious suites and family friendly amenities this hotel was a great place to stay. I will most definitely be back the next time I am in area.

Very nice hotel staff was very helpful and friendly look forward to staying there again in future.

We stayed one night in a two double bed larger studio. There were ants in the kitchen and bathroom. There were onion peels in one of the kitchen drawers. The kitchen area had a strange smell. The television reception and picture quality was awful. There was no hot water in the bathroom faucet. Our room was in need of an update and was beat up looking in places. There was not much food left for breakfast when we arrived at 9:45 on Sunday morning. There was no milk left for coffee either. The dining area was stifling and was 84° according to the thermostat. Upon checkout I told the woman at the desk about the ant problem. She was very pleasant and apologetic about our experience. The woman who checked us in was very pleasant as well. My daughter is a college student nearby, but unfortunately we will not be staying at this location again. If we didn't check in so late on Saturday night, I would have left and gone elsewhere.

Very friendly staff, easy check in.

You need to get real queen-sized beds. These "Hotel Queens" as your front desk agent put it are just full-sized beds. If you had a room with a king size and a kitchen, I'd stay there all the time.

Very nice property.
