Meadows Music Centre

Can anyone recommend a nice but inexpensive hotel near the Meadows Music Center???

Meadows Music Centre

We have stayed several times at the Crowne Plaza Hotel to attand concerts at the Meadows. It is about 6 blocks from the ';theatre'; and several concert goers who also park there. It is probably not the cheapest, that would be the Super 8 in the other direction on the same street, but I wouldn%26#39;t stay there.......

The Hartford Hilton has just undergone a 30 million dollar renovation is now a four star hotel. The hotel has 392 rooms and is attached to the Civic Center which is being transformed into a 36 story residential apartment tower. The hotel is in the central business district, close to I-84 and I-91 and about 5 minutes to Meadows.

In reference to the last post - How bad is the Super 8? There reviews said very friendly and clean just bad location. We will be staying just one night after a concert, but I am a little anal when it comes to bugs and cleanliness.

I think I would pass on the Super 8 in Hartford. As suggested, the Hilton or the Crowne Plaza are good choices if you want to stay right in Hartford. If they are too pricey, then you may want to look at staying in East Hartford. There is a Holiday Inn there - I84 Exit 58. Manchester is just a little bit further - but a nice town to stay in. Lots of restaurants and shops and very safe. You could look into Clarion Suites Inn, Econo Lodge, Fairfield Inn %26amp; Suites or the Courtyard by Marriott.

SweetPea - I took your advice and canceled at Super 8 and went with Crown Plaza. I am getting two different directions one says get off at 29A and the other 32B, which is better. How realistic is the walk to the Meadows. Thanks!

Went to Tom Petty and stayed at the Crowne Plaza - it was great, very clean large quiet rooms the price was a little more than I wanted to spend but well worth it. It is within walking distance from the Meadows, but it is a good hike. Most of the parking is that way anyway so you would be walking that far. The city is dead at night, we got back from the concert at midnight, room service was closed there was no one on the streets and the only thing we could find within walking distance to eat was pizza and beer. We couldn%26#39;t believe how empty the streets were. Overall great concert and going back to a great hotel made it worth the six hour drive.

When we go to summer concerts there, we stay at the Motel 6, which was called Red Roof Inn, now Motel 6. If you are only going to lay your head to sleep and not spend much time in the room, I found this place to be just fine! I am typically picky when it comes to hotels, but this place was clean and served its purpose. The best part is the rate is only about $50 per night!! It is the closest hotel to the venue, literally a block away. I wouldn%26#39;t suggest the Super, as it seems to be more of a truck stop type of hotel. The Motel 6 fills up with concert go%26#39;ers. Can%26#39;t wait to go back up there...July 16th for 3 Doors Down and August 20th for Motely Crue!!!!

The music center is now called New England Dodge Music Center (formerly Meadows Music) at 61 Savitt Way Hartford, CT 06120 If you bid on priceline $50 you can get Crown Plaza.
