“We checked in for a funeral for a couple of days. Tried to pay for an upgrade. They said the floors higher then 12 were closed. It was fine. 12th floor was perfect. Our first room AC was broken and the Manager moved us a couple of doors down right away. So so sweet. It was cool in no time. Sonya at the front desk was very nice. The parking when we arrived was very confusing. We called when we arrived to figure out where to go. Take a right on church in the public garage. Then there is a door straight into the hotel lobby. No valet yet. They have plenty of snack and lite bite options at the front desk for purchase. Their restaurants are still not open. This was not an inconvenience at all. Completely understand. The hotel is a tad bit dated. But I would 100% stay here again. Easy to get to restaurants and within walking distance or an Uber ride. We didn’t use the gym, pool or business center. The room was really clean when we arrived too. Which is great. Thanks Hilton.“

“Great food , vibes and atmosphere.“

“Sister’s is a small and cozy neighborhood cafe located in the north end of Hartford that feels very homey. Great food, good vibes, and friendly service. The menu is a blend of Jamaican and Black American comfort food. I started to get the ackee and salt fish but stuck with an old southern favorite my grandma used to make. The fish and grits with a side of eggs didn’t disappoint! The fish was seasoned and fried perfectly and the grits were buttery and soft. I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.“

“the chicken sandwich was pretty good. the vread was fresh it was seasoned well. but they must and I mean must leave making collard greens alone. it's cool, it's not for everyone. They had no seasoning and whoever made them cut none if tge "veins" stems out“

“What a nice place! Hidden gem. I drive by this restaurant almost on a weekly based and finally had a chance to have a nice dinner with my girlfriends yesterday. Food is amazing, drinks were fantastic and our waitress was super nice. I highly recommend this place. The restaurant is about 8 years old but building itself was established in 1757. It’s like dining at the museum. Loved it!“

My sister got the burger and a Cesar salad. The dressing was really fresh and lemony! The burger was delish as well! I will definitely be back! All the food I watched going by looked like 10 stars!“

“I came in for some lunch before heading to work and ordered a Bacon chicken sandwich with some guac on it. Cashiers seemed as they were still training and learning the routine. Order was repeated back to me once finished ordering. I unfortunately did not receive my sandwich made correctly. Sucks because there was an upcharge to the type of entree I purchased, basically paid $16 for a chicken sandwich with just mayo pickle and lettuce. Food is great I just hope they can figure out a way to eliminate such simple mistakes. I will give the place another chance.“
