Outside is a bit dated apparently it used to be under different name and ownership but the room is amazing. It’s a bit off the beaten path but it’s easy short ride from Middletown. I got a room last minute. Room is large with large tv and king size bed. Very cute decor with small fridge with freezer (many hotels don’t have the freezer) microwave coffee maker etc. great stay and Very quiet

Staff was really nice young girly, there was an issue with our bed and so she moved us out of our room to accommodate us. -cleanliness was okay, however smell of food was pretty strong and unpleasant in the hallway. overall it was okay. $200 is a bit high for this location.

Decent stay

We stayed at Solano Inn to visit Wesleyan University. Good stay for the price. The bathroom had a strong smell of cigarette smoking, however. Also it would have helped to have tea bags int he room given we had an electric kettle etc in the room. Staff was kind and helpful.

Nice for the price! Perfect for what I need.

Solano isn't the most expensive place. In order to do that it is not as fancy. This is PERFECT for business and long term stay, with friendly staff and things that work. It was very comfortable.
