Hotwire Hotel: Hartford (E.Hartford-Manchester-Vernon)

[dahammer]

Hotwire is showing a 2.5* Hotel in the East Hartford-Manchester-Vernon zone for $45 with the following amenities: Restaurant, Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby

Making a reservation for a relative, any guess as to it's identity??

There are few hotels in that area that could meet those amenities. All depends on what Hotwire considers a 2.5*. Here are a few possibilities with a pool and free breakfast:

HoJo Express - Vernon

Quality Inn - Vernon

Wellesley Inn - East Hartford

The HoJo Express has a restaurant in their parking lot... not sure if that qualifies.

The Wellesley Inn i don't see has a restaurant or a pool (maybe they do, but i don't see it).

Of the three my best guess would be the Quality Inn... but can't say for certain.

I bid up to $41 for a 2.5* property, $40 for a 2* property, and $32 for a 1*, all rejected. Looks like the Hotwire 2.5* will be the best bet.

decided to book a room at the Marriott Fairfield Inn, Manchester as it was only 7500 Marriott Rewards points. This hotel was only a few years old, but was built as a Country Inn and Suites and converted to a Fairfield Inn. The room had two queen beds and was Fairfield Inn spartan, very basic, no frills. The hotel did have an indoor pool with hot tub and the free continental breakfast was pretty bland, seemed like everything had just been defrosted. The coffee was barely passable.
