ORIGIN: The Old Riverton Inn allows guests to stay and dine…read moreon the site of a circa 1796 stagecoach inn that once served Hartford-Albany travelers. LOCATION: I stayed one Friday night this fall as a splurge ($229 /night) with intention to become familiar with the inn and its namesake town and surrounding communities. The site is steps away from a river and town center, making the Old Riverton Inn an ideal destination for those looking to explore the charming town or fly fish. AMENITIES: The inn preserves the availability of food and drink through a ground floor tavern. Lunch and dinner are offered at the Royal Coachman Tavern (check its Yelp page), but breakfast, conventionally provided to inn guests, is limited to an unattended counter with baked goods, single serve coffee maker, and dry cereal. While this might be ideal for early rising visiting fly fishers, it is not aligned with a conventional inn experience of hot breakfast. ACCOMMODATIONS: There are ten rooms located on the second and third floor of the inn. Guests may select specific rooms through the inn's website. Decor can be described as "shabby chic", with evidence of time reflected in the scattering of scuffs on vintage furniture, peeling print block wallpaper, and chipped paint on trim. Portable heaters in the closets and AC units in the windows are provided so that guests can modify room temperature. PARKING: To my surprise on site parking is not guaranteed to anticipated inn guests upon arrival. I arrived at 5 PM and found lot full, with six cars already parked along the emergency shoulder of State Route 20. While checking in an employee directed me to park in the emergency shoulder (safe/legal?) and assured me that I would be able to get a parking spot by time tavern closed at 9 PM. I appreciate that the current owner, Sherice Levan-Bennett, solicits guest feedback. I suggested dedicated parking for the anticipated overnight guests to facilitate easy unloading and a safe and relaxing experience. TIPS: Check out is early (10 AM). The third floor is quieter than second floor when the Royal Coachman Tavern is open for business.

Rebecca greeted us, gave us our room info and let us know about amenities. We asked if she had any suggestions for dinner as we knew some restaurants would be closed. She provided us with a list of nearby spots to checkout! For being an airport hotel, we had no noise concerns! The room was nice and spacious and clean. They do have a shuttle to and from the airport that is 24/7. You can call when you land and then schedule it the night before departure. The continental breakfast provided us with a wide variety of options too. We'd recommend to anyone with a quick trip and looking to be near the airport.

When you're having carpeting ripped out of your house to get the wood floors below sanded and refinished, your house becomes unlivable for a few days. Too much sawdust and fumes, let alone the wet stain and polyurethane on the floor (you don't want to leave footprints, right?). So that's why we checked into the Avon Residence Inn for three nights. The hotel was built in 2004 and renovated in 2011. You'll find it on route 202/10 near a major Simsbury intersection with route 44. The rooms and common areas still look great, and the only signs of wear and tear we saw was on the outside painted brick walkways. Many areas had paint worn away, and some had some serious hunks of the bricks missing. We had a very comfortable room (WIFI worked great) - a big living room with am L-shaped sofa, TV, work desk, breakfast nook, a nice little kitchen with appliances and dishes, a good sized bedroom (2nd TV) and bath with one of the best hotel showers I've run across. Weird observation -our bathroom light had the loudest ceiling vent I've ever heard -a definite bummer for anyone else sleeping in the room. They have outdoor basketball hoops, a tennis court, an outdoor pool, and plenty of outdoor seating, plus a fire pit. The included breakfast was excellent - scrambled eggs, sausages, two kinds of breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, cereal, waffle machine, juices, whole fruit, breads/bagels, yogurt, peanut butter, etc. The only other things I would have liked to see were cut fruit or berries for cereal, single slices of bread, and a selection of pastries or danish. But don't misunderstand me, breakfast was great. The front desk staff during the daytime was very friendly and always had a smile or some chit-chat for us. The Residence Inn by Marriott Hartford Avon came in very handy for us and we enjoyed our stay.

This was not a pleasant experience…read more As I walked in, I smiled and said my friendly hello. Ms. Jennifer smirked and began the check-in process without returning the same level of friendliness. We lived in Avon and now reside in Greenwich so I was looking forward to my quick stay. I tried to make some small talk and mentioned that I had lived at this property for seven months between the sale of our home and moving into our new one. I also explained that I had two separate reservations for consecutive nights and asked if they could be combined. Ms. Jennifer told me I would have to check out in the morning and check back in because one reservation was booked with a free night certificate and the other with points. I explained that I would be leaving the hotel at 4:00 a.m. for major surgery and that my 18-year-old son would remain in the room until I was ready to be picked up afterward. She informed me that because he was under 21, he could not stay in the room alone. She suggested that I complete the check-out and check-in process on my way to the hospital, which was exactly what I was hoping to avoid. During our conversation, she simply placed two bags of peanuts and two bottles of water on the counter without saying they were complimentary or offering any explanation. It felt abrupt and impersonal. She also could clearly see that I was having difficulty walking and had just told her I was there for major surgery. Despite that, we were assigned Room 233, which was quite a distance from the elevator. In addition, the room was a studio rather than the one-bedroom suite I had expected. On our way out to get something to eat, I asked if the hotel was fully booked. She replied, "No, why?" I answered, "Because you couldn't have given us a worse room than the one we received." Her response was simply, "That's how they design them." The entire check-in experience left such a poor impression that I called Marriott and canceled my second night's reservation. Instead, my son stayed with a friend in town. The next morning, when I came to the lobby before leaving for the hospital, no one was at the front desk. While waiting for my Uber, I noticed a woman asleep under a blanket with her feet stretched out in front of the fireplace. I chose not to disturb her, but it certainly added to my concerns about the overall experience and safety. Having lived at this property for seven months in the past, I remember a much higher level of hospitality and customer service. Avon, what happened to the service we used to receive?

We were traveling with a newborn baby, so the mold was a big deal for us and felt like a safety concern. The hosts were kind enough to refund part of our trip. This house is highly rated on Yelp and other hotel websites, but I think the rating is for the personality and hospitality of the hosts, not the quality of the accommodations. It's great if you want to feel like a guest in someone's house, but not if you want to stay in a nice place. I recommend Airbnb if you want the "house feel," or you could just book a hotel (which is what we ended up doing).
