Hartford Marriott Farmington  

Out in the suburban calm of Farmington, about 3 km from the town center. Steps from Batterson Park Pond and close to Hill-Stead Museum, the University of Connecticut Health Center, Miss Porter's School and First Church of Christ—an easy base for exploring the area.

Warmly decorated, air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and desks. There are 381 rooms total, with wired and wireless internet available for a surcharge and complimentary newspapers; specific services may vary by room. Accessible rooms and elevator access are provided.

Dive into indoor and outdoor pools, keep fit in the on-site gym, or hit the nightclub after dark. Free self-parking, concierge service, laundry and dry-cleaning, ATM, ironing/press and safe-deposit boxes round out the practical perks.

High-speed wired internet (surcharge), a 24-hour business center and express check-in keep things efficient. Roughly 14,000 sq ft of conference and meeting space makes this a solid choice for events and group stays.

On-site restaurant, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge cover meals and drinks. Room service is offered during limited hours, and a buffet breakfast is available for a fee.
