This is the nicest and newest hotel in downtown Hartford, located next to the Convention Center and new science center. Not much else going on in Hartford, but construction in the area indicates this could change over the next few years. Hotel staff were more than accommodating, pleasant, knowledgeable, and willing to help. The rooms were ...

As Times Changes, Good Things Go Bad - Feb 15, 2008


I have dined at VIVO many times, but not in the past year. When looking for Valentine's Day options, my wife and I chose VIVO as we have always had great meals and impeccable service. Unfortunately, it seems that was the old VIVO.


Not only was our food horrible (Fried Calamari ...

I paid $210 plus tax per night. I requested for for double beds and a roll away bed and was not provided with any. I paid $9 dollars more at the time of booking to add breakfast when I went to check-in they said no you cannot have breakfast even if you did pay more. It was horrible.

After spending many dollars in the VIVO Restuarant (food very mediocore and price High) the night before, and then going down for breakfast the next day at 2 minutes after 9, we were told that we could only get the $25.00/per person buffet. Left and had breakfast elsewhere

Don't be mislead by the higher end menu & trendy decor. Vivo (the onsite restaurant there) was awful. Timing & quality of the meal was terrible... 40 minutes lapsed between the salad & entree. I found HAIR in my appetizer AND drink. I reported this to the manager who barely reacted. After all that, they had the nerve to add 18% gratuity to my check since I was sitting with a large group. I would not recommend this venue to anyone.

Very new. Clean. Excellent beds. Very, very nice weightroom and pool. Spa for those looking for that sort of thing.

When I arrived, I was greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable Valet, Patrick, who took care of my car and my luggage quickly and promptly. He noticed that the trunk on my car was malfunctioning and took the time to get the phone number, directions, and service hours of the closest dealer to have my car repaired. The rooms were great and the ...
