take this property off your platform for options. Unsafe, dirty and chose to sleep in my car rather than stay there.

We liked it because it was clean, comfortable beds, and most of all because it was very close to where we needed to go.

The location was quiet but not too isolated from surrounding popular areas. The staff was very friendly and accommodating especially when I was late for check-out.

Hotels.com really needs to better vet hotels, like the Whitney Inn, which have a significant number of full-time subsidized residents. I'm not particularly bothered by this practice but it could easily make some people, like young families, uncomfortable as residents often just stare at guests from open room doors. Others smoke and litter the parking lot with cigarettes.
I found one resident looking into my car as I came down in the morning.I asked what he was doing and he took off.
Some other oddities: there is no elevator access to the second level (or I was simply not shown one) and the room came with a flat screen TV which was only receiving an analog signal. I don't think I've grainy color TV in 20 years. The desk chair was broken; leaning back was risky...
On the plus side - the room was very clean and fairly comfortable. The price was low and it's conveniently located - especially for anyone who likes to jog/ bike/walk - the beautiful Farmington Canal Trail passes right behind it.

Everything was ok except for that there wasn't a security lock for the inside of room 211. There also a visible space in the door from the outside giving me concerns about the security of that door. Otherwise the experience was quite pleasant.

Very nice hotel for the price. Car was safe there which I was worried about. Would definitely stay there again.
