This review is of my visit on a Saturday when the inside of the building was closed and so, I only…read moregot to see the whole of the outside of the Capitol building. I was very impressed by the architecture of this building. It's design and décor were interesting and unique compared to the other standard Capitol buildings design that I have seen elsewhere within the continental U.S. This Capitol Building is adjacent to Bushnell Memorial Park and Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch. It has a beautiful gold leaf dome and its façade is made of New England marble and granite. From my online research on this building, I came to learn that this building's architecture is of Second Empire & Renaissance Revival kind on the outside and High Victorian Gothic on the inside. The weather on the day of my visit was not good, so my photos may not necessarily reflect how impressive this building looks (I haven't edited them) but I bet on a beautiful sunny day, the photos would make this Capitol building look even more wonderful. This is definitely a place to visit for sightseeing activities when in Hartford.

Last day visiting CT and decided this was the way to go. Visited on a Monday around noon, and it…read morewas not busy at all. We were able to walk in and tour the place ourselves. It is such a neat building with plenty of historic artifacts inside. All the employees were super friendly. People do actually work inside of this building, so it was busy with a bunch of workers trying to make it from one point of the building to the other. Learned a little bit of CT history. We were able to tour the room where the decision was made to make Marijuana legal in CT. About 4 stories tall. We also were able to walk underground over to the legislative building as well! Such neat history is located here also. A lot of comemerative veterans are seen all throughout the walls also which lets you pay many respects throughout your visit. It was such a great last day tour, and I'm glad we visited.

As someone completely new to this whole process, I was under the impression that I would have access to all parts of the second level for photos but that key piece of information was not relayed to me or my partner during the long process of planning. There were multiple but minor errors as well that gave me the sense that communication was not a strong suit within the event planning department. Upon confirmation for my wedding date, the wrong time frame was made for the reservation. It was quickly resolved so I thank them for that but then the number of attendees on the City Hall Rental form was also wrong. I was constantly double checking their work and what I needed was for all my information for my wedding to be handled with care and looked over with more detail. However, because the wedding was small we were able to find spots to photograph everyone without disrupting the guests and still enjoying the special moment. Also big shout out to the sweet security guard Jeff for being so helpful and welcoming on our wedding day!

They offer nothing more than superficial services completing paperwork and pretending to assist people with no options, since in reality there IS NO defense against disclosure, and these programs are doing just enough to claim they're useful to the government when in reality all their doing is ensuring most families lose their homes based on pure supposition, outright lies and sneaky tricks the courts and government ignore, rather than actual facts!

So I sat an waited for three hours. The male officer was rude and disrespectful. He referred me to Wolcott, CT. I could hear the officer laughing as he walked away. it is my belief that the officer was being racist towards myself and a person of Chinese descent. Every hour we took turns and rang the bell. Questioning if there was another person available to process our paperwork. The Caucasian male Trooper continued to disrespect me, "you can go anywhere you want, but if you want them done here you will sit and wait"! So I sat and waited for four hours to be finally told to come back on the next available business day.

If you are going to spend a day here to testify at a public hearing, to lobby, or to attend a public event, I suggest you arrive early. Parking tends to fill up plus going through security, so maybe an extra ten or fifteen minutes can benefit you. When your stomach yells at you for forgetting to fill it since you have so much to worry about (parking, finding the right room, finding the restrooms, etc.) the LOB cafeteria has a variety of meals, snacks and beverages to satisfy any diet, restrictions and picky eaters. Plus, it's very cheap. I got a small salad, yogurt and almond milk for a little over four bucks. You can always check the CGA website to see what the cafeteria is serving for the day, so you can just be in and out. They close down at 2:30 pm, but the cafe area stays open until 4:30 pm. There is also a coffee bar kiosk on the third floor that just opened up that has on the go items and fresh fruit, and is open until 4:00 pm. If you happened to miss the lunch hour, there is a small convenience/gift shop located near the concourse that connects the LOB to the Capitol. You can pick up soda, snacks, and some ibuprofen if you've been lobbying too hard. Free wifi is offered so you are not bored waiting for that public hearing, meeting, event, or whatever business you may have at the LOB. I hope my review helps out anyone who has never been here before, just so that you know what to expect.
