“Nothing special”

Reviewed 29 April 2012

I have to agree with the other reviewers... this hotel is dated and is absolutely nothing special. The heating/cooling system in the room was loud and noisy. The room was sparsely decorated. Unfortunately, it is a seller's market... if you need to stay near UConn, this is it. We ate at the bar near the lounge area and it was,... More

“They're due for a major upgrade.”

Reviewed 29 March 2012

This hotel is beyond awful. Now it's deceiving, because on the drive up to it the building seems modern and decent. Inside, it's stuck in 1989....a quick Google check shows it was renovated in 2001, but it doesn't seem like it was enough...I'd hate to see what it was prior to 2001. I find the rooms to be old, stuffy,... More

I had business with UCONN and decided to stay at the Nathan Hale Inn for a couple nights. The Inn is located right on campus right next the Alumni residence halls and the South campus dining hall. Every part of my trip went smoothly. I arrived around 2PM and was happy to learn my room was ready early. Unlike other... More

I just got back from a stay at this property. I was at UConn for a conference and this hotel happens to be the only one on campus. This hotel would hardly convert to a Best Western. It offers the basics, no frills, and is OK for a business traveler. It seems the hotel knows that the people who stay... More

“No sweet dreams here”

Reviewed 1 March 2012

This hotel is in need of serious updating, noise-proofing, and a good chef. The rooms are ordinary chain hotel rooms priced higher than most. The restaurant is a sad, lonely, and empty place on weekday nights. The sports bar/cafe has an enticing menu that doesn't translate into enticing food --and you have to down it with no less than three... More

We stayed overnight during our annual trip to UCONN for Huskython. Positives: location is great. It's a brief walk to the Student Union, Gambel, and the Coop. The rooms were extremely clean and fresh smelling. Negative: once again, we were placed near a room with many teens in them. We had to open the door and ask the girls running... More
