The property felt unsafe, there were some definite shady, looking characters around the front door and in the lobby, I put a chair under my door at night. The sheets have holes in them. The towels were threadbare. I was glad I was only there for one night.

The staff was very good from front desk to maid service. Everyone was nice and helpful. The location was great. The view was fabulous. The outside was sketchy between the bus stop and train station. The lobby seemed to attract people off the street. The towels and bedding were "hostel" quality. My bath towel was see through and my sheet had a hole in it.

One night only
We only booked one night. The front desk clerk James was nice and helpful, the room was clean and the breakfast was good. Our issue were the people wandering around outside were very sketchy. The parking lot they use is not free, please pay attention when signing up. Set it for 1 day or you'll be charged double. The lot it is open so people would be in their cars doing "stuff" and pedestrians walking in and out the area.

Very disgusted and uncomfortable stay!!!
Upon arrival at The Capital Ascend hotel there was a guy putting violation tickets on cars in the hotel parking lot.. apparently the parking for hotel is underground and you have to pay $15/day ( I mean literally ninja turtles underground parking)I entered hotel and wasn’t even greeted, the girl at the desk just stared at me and I said I needed to check in. then I gotta pay an extra deposit fee on top of this already being prepaid online.I ask about the XL theater and she tells me she doesn’t know where anything is because she’s not from there.I would assume that you would know of places in the area that draw in customers,but whatever . the hotel is a half hour walk away from our event,ended up having to pay even more for a lyft to get me and my sister to the XL theater for our concert.getting to the room, the door of the room looks battered, like someone at some point might’ve tried to knock it down. entering the room smelled like a gym locker room and air freshener was sprayed to cover up the smell. The bathroom tiles had mold growing on them, and there was a hair on the toilet seat. I immediately contacted Hotels.com ,they claimed they were so sorry for the inconvenience.had to check out early because couldn’t use moldy bathroom shower! Didn’t get the breakfast because nobody told us where to go!! I deserve a refund!! But hotels.com didn’t even give me a partial refund.!!Not booking with hotels.com again!!

The neighborhood is run down and there’s a lot of empty storefronts. It’s a great view of the capital and walkable to the things we were planning on doing. Considerable frustration with the room keys and we did seem to inconvenience the clerk working the desk at the time. Also, there’s a charge for parking that was unexpected

This place was excellent. We came to hartford for a concert at xfinity and this was a very convenient location. Since it was my wife’s birthday, I made sure to get a room facing the capitol building because on the sat night was the independence day celebration and we had an amazing view of the fireworks right across the street! Lots of bars nearby and restaurants. The room was super clean and the hotel has a garage parking in the basement which is way better than having to leave your car outside. Warning to people who are out of state coming from cities where you are used to seeing many people, this is a ghost town. The downtown area is mostly office buildings therefore you will see most traffic during the day but even then it’s very sparse. So if you like to be in a bustling city, this isn’t it. We however, loved it!
