The Spotlight on Best Stay Inn -Manchester

Simple Comfort Just Minutes from the Stage

Best Stay Inn -Manchester is a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel located in Manchester, Connecticut—just 10 to 11 miles from major Hartford concert venues like the XL Center and the Comcast Theatre. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and easy parking, it's a solid pick for travelers who want a simple stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Best Stay Inn -Manchester scores big with its short drive to multiple major venues. Whether you're catching a show downtown or heading to an outdoor event, you'll be there in around 15 to 20 minutes. Post-show, you'll appreciate the quiet atmosphere—perfect for winding down after a loud night. Check-in starts at 2:00 PM, so you’ve got time to settle in before heading out, and you can sleep in a bit with an 11:00 AM check-out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends road-tripping to Hartford for a big concert
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list band
  • Couples looking for a low-key weekend getaway with a show
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery outside the city buzz
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than a hotel

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn't offer on-site dining, each room includes a mini-fridge, which is handy for keeping snacks and drinks on hand after the show. You're also within a short drive of plenty of restaurants, fast food spots, and diners in Manchester. Breakfast options are easy to find nearby—even later in the morning if you’re recovering from a late night.

Nightlife Options

Nightlife is more about your concert here, but if you're looking to keep the evening going, downtown Hartford is just a quick drive away with bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer something more laid-back? Grab some drinks to go and relax in your room with some post-show playlists.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the cleanliness of the rooms and the value for money. The WiFi is reliable, and many note that the location is convenient for hitting Hartford's top venues without paying downtown hotel prices. Travelers also appreciate the quiet atmosphere, especially after a high-energy night out.

Areas for Improvement

This is a 1-star hotel, so don’t expect luxury perks. There’s no on-site restaurant or gym, and the decor is basic. But for a short concert-focused stay, it covers the essentials. If you’re looking for bells and whistles, you might want to explore higher-end options closer to Hartford.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a simple, budget-friendly place to crash after a show, Best Stay Inn -Manchester delivers clean comfort and easy access to the music you came for.

Great spot for the value...

Liked: The property is surprisingly clean and in good condition for a 1 star facility. I was expecting worse. The ice maker is in the office which is locked at night, that was the only real unfortunate part. The gentleman at check in was friendly, personable and make the process as easy as possible. The AC worked well and the freezer fridge combo was an awesome surprise (I expected just a fridge!) the location is great - bunch of food and shopping options within less than 10 minute drive.
Disliked: The ice maker being in the locked office at night was slightly inconvenient. We packed up and left at 7am and went to get ice and the employee was sleeping on the couch in the locked office. I rang the bell 4 times before banging on the window to be let in. (The signs all say “open 24 hours”. He seemed irritated but it’s part of the job.

The Best Stay Inn offers...

Liked: The Best Stay Inn is exactly what it looks like: an old-fashioned roadside motel. Its out-of-date facilities and minimal decor are made up for by the personable receptionist, Todd, the scrupulous cleanliness of the room, and the comfortable mattress--not to mention the price compared to neighboring motels.
Disliked: Just how out-of-date everything is, some road noise
