Hampton Inn & Suites Stamford

My stay

Pros: I love everything the room was spacious and it was perfect

Cons: Breakfast was not that great

Mostly excellent

Pros: The beds were very comfortable, and the room was spotlessly clean. The breakfast had many nice choices, especially the fresh fruit and the amazing, high-quality coffee--unexpected in a hotel. Like a good restaurant.

Cons: But could never get the Internet connection to work, which was difficult for us, since we needed to do some important online transactions. There was a problem with the "certificate" and security level.

A few bumps in the road, but a good stay overall

Pros: The room was spacious, with a very comfortable king bed. Housekeeping did a great job, and the front desk staff were very nice. Having a full breakfast available was a definite plus! I'd be happy to stay here again when my travels bring me to NYC due to the proximity of the train station.

Cons: We were disappointed that the courtesy shuttle to the train station didn't run on weekends; our choices were walking to the station in the rain (which is what we did) or paying for a taxi. The hotel is going through some renovations, which were poorly timed: painters on the main floor on a Sunday morning impeded our access to the breakfast area and made the restrooms unusable. There was also an issue with overcharging us for a room which we has already paid for in full using Booking.com. This was recitifed, but I'd think twice before booking through a third party other than AAA again.
