The Capitol Hotel
Lots of little crusty bits in the corners of the rooms. Hot breakfast was not hot and tasted stale, as if it had been re-heated (but only partially, because, as I said, it was not hot).

Holiday Inn Express Southington by IHG
The air conditioning/heating unit was very loud. Made it very difficult to sleep at night. We turned it off when we were sleeping. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay.

Candlewood Suites Windsor Locks Bradley Arpt by IHG
Clean room and quiet. Conveniently located. But I never got my 3 am wake up call I was promised. Fortunately I had an alarm but I also count on these calls to get me up.
