This is my first time at The Capitol Hotel in Hartford, CT, and it was easy to find at night. I chose it for convenience, closeness to the state government building where I had business, and competitive room price, and I am happy with my choice. I walked just down the street and found a great restaurant with good food and a live band, Black-Eyed Sally's Southern BBQ. I recommend this hotel.
