"It's not luxurious BUT it is upgraded with modern conveniences and is CLEAN. I had a good night's rest on a comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. Parking is a little scary to navigate at first underground, but it was secure and I appreciate that because I returned back to my room after 2a.m."

"Staff were very nice and helpful. Room expensive considering there is no in room dining or real breakfast served. Unfortunately the area is eerily quiet on weekends with nothing open in the area. Glad we only had to stay one night"

Clay-Arsenal

While Clay-Arsenal isn't home to many top sights, Dunkin' Donuts Park and Xfinity Theatre are some notable places to visit nearby.

Clay-Arsenal
Underneath that blue dome lies the east armory of a factory once owned by a man who changed American history, the innovator of the revolver, Samuel Colt. Sprawling around the crumbling red brickwork of the old Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, once the largest private armory in the world, are the remnants of Coltsville, the utopian village he built for his workers. 

A model of 19th century industrial paternalism, Coltsville included a church, a social hall for dances and lectures, workers’ housing, a giant landscaped park home to deer and peacocks, sculpted botanical gardens, and thousands of feet of greenhouses filled with tropical fruit and flowers. Samuel Colt felt such responsibility for the welfare of his workers outside the factory that he went so far as to build Potsdam Village, to replicate the feel of the German village from which he imported his skilled craftsmen to work in his willow ware factory.

The National Park Service began having on-site presence in 2015, with workshops and tours, including up into the Blue Onion Dome which affords magnificent views of downtown Hartford, the Connecticut River and Colt Park, formerly the back yard of Armsmear, Samuel & Elizabeth Colt’s mansion. By 2016, an NPS ranger had taken up residence in the South Armory and was giving walking tours of Coltsville.

The old South, East and North armories are under renovation and the two 1855 brownstone buildings, the oldest structures on site, will become the National Park Service Visitor Center. The armories themselves have been or are being renovated into apartments, offices and education facilities.
