Avon Old Farms Hotel - Avon

lovely hotel, very conveniently located. we stay there on EVERY return to the Hartford area. We lived in Hartford for 20 years.

The hotel is very nice. The main building is wonderful. Be sure that you are there. The "economy" rooms that show up on this website are in the motel style building across the parking lot from the main buildings. Really? Check in was a bit ridiculous. My business colleague and I stood at the desk for 15 minutes, ignored by the sole employee who was […] onthe phone with a potential guest asking about every type of room that they have. Well at least eavesdropping on the call made me realize that I had booked a substandard room. Had dinner in the tavern (two restaurants - main dining room and tavern). Dinner and service was very good. Breakfast was served in the main dining room. Great food. Would come back again, provided that I can book the right room and someone at the desk wants to check me in. Read more

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were there just for one night - to attend a gala across the street, but conveniences offered were just fine.

Apparently, the section used for hotel.com reservations is a poorly maintained one. The first room did not have working heat. The next room (same section) did not either! Finally, they put us in the main hotel - with a "complimentary upgrade" - never apologizing for the inconvenience!

My original room was experiencing a problem with the heat not operating correctly. I contacted the hotel lobby and was given a free upgrade to a new room. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The overall cleanliness of the common areas was fine. The furnishings in my room (chairs/carpet) were not clean and had numerous stains. The bedding and towels […] were fine. The room and price were adequate for one night in town for a wedding, but I would not recommend this hotel to a friend or family member. Read more

Room was very clean, well maintained, the keys that open the doors were unusual and should be modernized

wonderful setting, trees, plansts, grounds. floral arrangements inside and out. quaint creek outside room, and restaurant. convenience of hotel and dining was perfect. dining was best we had during 5 day trip in Ct.

We stayed with our 2.5 year old. The room was comfortable but the carpet was damp and a bit smelly. The room was very quiet and there was no noise from neighbors. The restaurant food is really good, but not very "kid friendly". The lobby is a bit stuffy for a stay with kids, but no one seemed to have an issue with my son running around. Very convenient […] location. Read more

Stayed overnight for an adult evening out..it was heaven. Bed was comfy, room was quiet and spacious. Had dinner there as well. Excellent food and service. Will go back again and again.

Was not at all happy very expensive for room and even more so for the food. Dont bother staying here go to a chain hotel you get more for the money

VERY ACCOMMODATING STAFF; NICELY APPOINTED NEW "OLD" INN. GET RESERVATION AT HOTELS.COM RATHER THAN THRU THEIR SITE. OVERALL- GOOD DEAL.

Sleeping on wet sheets is a no no. We were told it was due to the air conditioner. We were moved to another room, but the same problem existed there as well. It appears as the sheets were never put in the dryer. So the second room we iron our own sheets to dry them out, something you do not expect at a 4 star hotel. The carpet is old and has a musty […] odor. Great decor and landscaping. Read more

classic comfortable luxury hotel room with excellent food and service. quiet and easy to get to. staff very helpful and kind.

Room very nice if you enjoy colonial design and wallpaper. Don't know if all rooms are the same. Nicely decorated and comfortable mattress and bedding. Good pub and nice common areas. Van service to wedding venue by extremely pleasant and accommodating driver by the name of Jeanne. Nice breakfast.

The bed squeeked and squeeked whenever you moved. Finally my husband had to shove a pillow in back of the headboard to get some sleep. Bathroom kind of small and pretty old looking. Not much room to put anything in there.

This is a nice small hotel, the grounds are nice. Had easy access to the room. The standard room is very standard- no luxury- the bathroom is small also. Very quite during our stay. The restaurant looked nice, we did not try it.

I upgraded because the economy rooms are located across the way from the Inn. the economy rooms are nice but more like a motel with rooms off the parking lot and closer to the main road. for a few dollars more I had a lovely room that was quiet and spacious inside the main building.

I grew up on Avon Mountain and chose to have my family stay here "for old memories sake". We were here to attend my dad's funeral. I must say that my son's room smelled old and nasty, and our room had broken and banged up furniture in it - the bathroom fan is very loud.The vanity sink had no running cold water. For the price I paid I was very disappointed. […] The rooms do not have coffee makers in them as advertised. The breakfast included with the room is not what you think. It consists of stale pastries and a few choices of fruit. You can't "wake up and smell the coffee" at the hotel but someone should "wake up and smell the rooms". They all need some TLC Read more

We stayed 2 nights in the lower section - the queen bed room. The room smell was pretty bad. I guess the room was clean enough but it smelled old and nasty - smelled like mothballs. We felt like we were on "the poor side of town" compared to 2 other rooms in the upper section where my family stayed. Don't be fooled by "breakfast included" with your […] room. There were not coffee makers in the rooms as advertised and their idea of breakfast is stale danish in the lobby - very disappointed. Read more

It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room. Especially for the price of the room. The bed was not comfortable. I was dissapointed in the room for the price I paid. The women who was working at the desk Saturday night was very nice.

Lovely hotel: we had a more inexpensive room, and it was an excellent value.

We booked a room here last minute and were pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the hotel. We took the opportunity to experience the restaurant and the food was excellent. We highly recommend a vist!

Poor wireless connectivity and more of a Motel than a hotel. The place is clean and the pub has good food and beer. Unfortunately, I travel on business and need to be able to work in my room. This place seemed like a deal, but the lost productivity easily cost me more than what I would have spent if I'd stayed at the Hilton.

Nice, cozy hotel, good location.

We have stayed at this Hotel many times because of its convenience to my daughter's home. They reallly do a nice job. Lovely place. Nice people.

This is more of a motel and it really needs a facelift. We checked in and found our room in the "Annex" to be comfortable but smelly, outdated and noisy. For some reason the hotel had moved the sofa out of our room and replaced it with a desk chair? So we had a desk chair against the wall (where a sofa should be) a coffee table in front of that and […] a floor lamp next to it, very odd. We won't be staying here again. Read more

When I checked into the Avon Old Farms, the check in was very quick. I was given room 411 which is in an outer building. I entered and noticed a musty smell. But I had an appointment so I dropped my suitcase and left. When I returned at 11pm the smell was really bad. It had been raining very hard all day. I was exhausted and went to bed. but the moldy […] smell bothered me all night. At 7:30am I went to the front desk and explained my problem was given another room immediately (and asked if I wanted to see it first, which I did) moved my things and had a lovely stay from there on out. I could of change the night before but I was so exhausted from my travels.Sometimes things happen, but how it is handled is much more important to me and this was stellar service. Read more

The hotel was very charming our room clean and roomy, only we wish the deluxed room we had , had a fridge being out of state travelers it was annoying to have to keep the cooler filled with ice. it may seem silly but it would of been a conviences.

Beautiful hotel with great restaurant. Even if you don't stay here come for the great food. The hotel may not be updated in style, but it is very comfortable and has a homey, old style charm. A minor inconvenience was that my stay was during a heat wave and the A/C in my room was a bit weak but it finally did get down to 72 degrees after being on all […] night. Also, the free breakfast is just coffee and juice plus pastry and fruit. But I would stay here again. Read more

A bucolic setting in the midst of the Connecticut hills... a lovely place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The restaurant was out of this world and we enjoyed three very delicious meals. Would be a lovely setting for an intimate wedding....or a family reunion.

Very Nice, the weather was 100 degrees when we spent 4 nights here. We stayed in the new part of the hotel and there is a very different scent in the hallway the rooms are off - not sure if it was a freshener of some sort or due to the high humidity. The room was initially muggy but with the AC on high it quickly dissipated. The breakfast was very nice […] and priced IAW the hotel rating. The continental breakfast was fine, perhaps adding juice would be nice. The pool was great - one suggestion, have the pool attendant out there cleaning up the floating dead bugs more often. It was a very pleasant stay and I would definitely use ti again. Read more

Excellent hotel. Comfortable and clean rooms. Good restaurant and bar with reasonable prices. Lovely pool area with sun beds and refreshments. Staff very helpful and attentive. A very pleasant experience.

For the money and the expensive area in which this hotel is located, it is not worth the money. Both my room and my parent's higher priced room had AC that did not blow cold. The only response from the front desk was to bring up a stand fan which blew around the muggy air. The housekeeping on between nights did a mediocre job, leaving out the ironing […] board and not sweeping the bathroom floor. The continental breakfast was the smallest I have seen and not restocked quickly. I would not return to this facility. Read more

I grew up in the area, and always assumed the OFI was a "class" organization, but paper thin walls, a little mold in the shower, leaking toilet that ran every few minutes surprised me. I didn't expect the Ritz, but I had hoped for something more that one of the "low end" chains.
