The Spotlight on Best Western Manchester

Affordable, Comfortable Stay Just Outside Hartford


Best Western Manchester is a budget-friendly, laid-back hotel located in Manchester, Connecticut, just a quick drive from downtown Hartford. With cozy rooms equipped with free Wi-Fi, microwaves, and refrigerators, it’s a reliable spot for travelers looking for comfort without breaking the bank. A 24-hour front desk and welcoming atmosphere make this a solid choice for anyone heading to a show nearby.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a 14-minute drive from Hartford’s major music venues, making it a convenient base for concert nights. The area is quiet, so you can count on a peaceful wind-down after a loud night out. With a flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, it suits both early arrivals and those who need a slow morning post-show. Free parking and easy highway access make rideshares and late-night returns a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable place to crash after a show
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime concert
  • Couples making a weekend out of a big event
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend more on merch than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave and fridge—perfect for late-night leftovers. Complimentary continental breakfast is available, helping you recover the morning after. Nearby, The Shoppes at Buckland Hills (just 7 minutes away) offers plenty of casual dining and takeout options.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar or club on-site, but you’re a short drive from Hartford’s lively nightlife. Whether you’re looking for craft cocktails, dive bars, or a spot to catch more live tunes, options abound. For a more relaxed evening, lounge in the hotel’s shared seating area or outdoor terrace.

What People Say

Guests routinely praise the hotel’s clean rooms, friendly staff, and great value. The quiet location gets high marks from those who want to escape the post-concert chaos. Travelers also love the free parking and strong Wi-Fi—essentials when uploading those concert videos.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel could use a few style updates, and while there’s no restaurant or bar on-site, the nearby dining spots help fill the gap. If you’re expecting luxury, this isn’t it—but for a good night’s sleep, it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

Best Western Manchester is a solid, affordable stay for concert-goers looking for comfort, quiet, and easy access to the Hartford music scene.

It's what was available for...

Liked: Location to why we came to CT. Rooms were available. Overall, clean. Newly renovated. Fridge in room.
Disliked: For being newly renovated, there is definitely room for improvement. No chair other than a computer chair in the room. Cracked window. No air vent in bathroom. Not having separate 'pet' rooms on the first floor away from the rest of the guests (so listening to poor dogs being left alone, bark). Sub-par breakfast options. Sink faucet too far back from sink so trying to wash hands you get water on the counter. Tub is a slip and slide (no grip). Lastly, the lobby area has an odor that smells of a pile of soggy towels sitting in the corner, sadly forgotten.

Very good

Liked: Breakfast was quite good for the type, though it generates a lot of waste (disposable everything: plastic cutlery, plates, cups). The room was very clean and functional. Nice, comfortable bed. Staff pleasant and efficient.
Disliked: The A/C unit in our room was a little noisy. The elevator door moved alarmingly slow. We did not like the mushy pillows.
