Travel Inn Motel - Hartford

I just stayed for a concert in town so I wasn't expecting much. Although, the room was berry big, it looked dirty and old. The shower was gross and I wore flip flops in there. There was a Q-tip in the AC vent and one did not work. It just felt grimy. The first room we were going to stay in, the door didn't even open so we got a new room. It was fine for the night, but I spent as little time in there as possible.

When we arrived at the hotel we were unimpressed by the cleanliness of it, but decided we could make due for one night. We were in town to see a concert. After the show, we returned to our room we realized our door would no longer lock. We went to the front desk to inform them of this issue and I was asked if I knew how doors worked. First I felt unsafe, and then I was insulted. The desk clerk walked back to my room (Room 126) to show me how to use the door. He pushed the door and said "see, it is locked." I told him, "No, you use the handle to go in. Like this." When I turned the handle to the door, it opened without using the key. The clerk opened and closed the door numerous times and finally admitted it was broken. He said he would give us another room, but I told him I did not feel safe at this facility and I would like a refund. He refused to give me a refund and I ended up driving back home (2 hour drive). DO NOT STAY HERE!!! It is not safe and the staff do not care about your safety. We thought it would be a cheap place to crash after a long concert, but you will take your life in your hands if you stay here.

Place needs some up keeping. Xfinity Theater is a short walk away and it's much better sleeping here than in a cell after a night of drinking.

First of all, I was by no means expecting luxury. I had seen a few reviews on hotels.com, where I'd booked the room, and knew that it was going to be meh and/or bleh. I picked this place because it was close to the Xfinity Center, Slipknot and Marilyn Manson were playing! The music wasn't the only thing grungy and dirty that night. On arrival I was greeted by a middle-aged hooker. She was standing by the front door while smoking a cigarette and drinking a Four Loco. Ugh, they didn't have my reservation, even though I was showing them the confirmation on my phone. I was placed in a smoking room because there were no others left. After getting my room keycard, I wandered back past the lovely lady of the night and up the stairs. I opened the door and was kind of taken back at exactly how dingy it was. Holes in the wall, missing pieces of carpet, windows that wouldn't open, even a baby cockroach trying to crawl out of the tub! In its defense it had a cute face. I slept on TOP of the blankets because... nope. When I awoke and opened the shades to greet the morning sunshine, what do I see? A police officer sprinting past my window! Where was he going? Idk.. One redeeming factor was the wafting smell of McDonald's, but other than that - I can not recommend this place with a straight face.

I was afraid to park at this location, The room smelled, the security latch was broken, bedding was gross and had burn marks.
