Solano Inn 1503 Portland-Cobalt Road, Portland, CT 06480

"An inexpensive and comfy little spot that was very cutely decorated. Cozy like a little vacation cabin and located right across the street from a nice breakfast spot and down the street from the venue for the wedding we attended. It's nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be. We didn't end up needing any help from the front desk, but they were clearly available in case we did need anything."

"Staff was very courteous at check in and even helped bring our bags into our room. The room was pleasantly surprising. Exceptionally nice. Upgraded, modern, clean."

"Location was great but that's it. Beds were stained with a ton of old blood. Toilet paper dispenser ripped outta the wall. Very inconveniently interrupted twice between fire alarms going off, and them wanting to do inspections which should of been done long ago. Not to mention the power goes off and on multiple times. Not worth any money unless you are desperate. Don't stay here."

"This place was extremity quiet, which I loved. I didn't have to hear people getting on and on an elevator. Talking loud in the halls, or kids running up and down the aisles. Very clean and simple. I rather spend my money on the local food and activities. This place is a gem. Will come back."

"Original review January 2023: An inexpensive and comfy little spot that was very cutely decorated. Cozy like a little vacation cabin and located right across the street from a nice breakfast spot and down the street from the venue for the wedding we attended. It's nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be. We didn't end up needing any help from the front desk, but they were clearly available in case we did need anything. Update August 2023: Clearly this place made a good enough impression that we came back! While we're pretty sure we picked the same room type as our last trip, this time we got little suites with a separated bedroom and little living area. We were surprised, but certainly not upset about it. This place is a funny mix between a motel and an Air B&B in terms of style. The owners are clearly trying to make the rooms look bougie on a budget and it's working pretty well. This place is also definitely used as longer term housing for some folks and the check in paperwork makes that obvious. All in all, the Hilton this is not but it's still a perfectly nice place to stay."
