Ideal Escape from the City
I spend a weekend here with my significant other, and we were more than pleased with what we got at the Hilton Southbury. As HHonors members who travel around the NY tri-state a lot, we were instantly attracted to the cost of the Hilton Southbury, where we reserved an "alcove" room; similar to a mini-suite. A breakfast buffet was included in our reservation, and it was perfectly acceptable. The hotel's rural location is both a blessing and a pain. For a romantic escape, it's an ideal "runaway" spot. However, if you're dying to go out that night, Hartford and New Haven are a small trip. Originally from CT myself, I knew of nearby spots to keep us busy. As well, the hotel was kind enough to offer tips and reminders to us; including a note by our bedside reminding us of daylight savings time. Until the Hartford Hilton reopens, I would definitely stay at this location again.
