motel 6 is fine. i did mapquest and its 4 10ths of a mile to venue. i don't know what maked some people think that if they spend a few more bucks they won't see any hookers or maybe get bed bugs. you think hookers don't stay at crowne. don't kid yourself. Plus, i think you would have to sleep with one of the ladies of the evening to get hep. remember kids its hartford. 5pm the insurance people go home and all bets are off. be careful, be safe and we'll leave a light on for you. lol. by the way, i was at the 1996 riot show and had a great time from row 3 i am mem # 113xxx. expecting some great seats and alot of fun for all. see you there.

This Motel 6 is gonna be rockin, before and after the show...
Just posted on another thread, but the Motel 6, Super 8 and the hotels right by the venue are pretty bad. Hookers and other stuff not uncommon there. The Crown Plaza and Hilton are the best for walking distance I think they even have shuttles to the show, buts it only a 10 or 15 min walk. I work downtown and there are some great bars downtown too. New Mariott near convention center is nice but further away.
I recommend naming your own price on Priceline, you will get the Hilton or Crown Plaza if you select downtown, and really anyplace downtown is fine. You can probably get a place on Priceline easily for what you'd save by going to the Motel 6 or Super 8 and getting bed bugs or hepatitis or something.
1st time going to Hartford to see Pj. Im driving in from Long Island and staying at the Goodwin?? Any word on that hotel??? Looking to Pre / post show party. I have to be back on Long Island for a 12 noon wedding the next day. Anyone know anything about the Goodwin much appreciated.

Nice, small hotel across from the Hartford Civic Center (or XL Center now). A bit more expensive than other hotels, but it's close to bars. ALso close to Sweet Janes on Pratt Street, where the preparty will be.

i'll be at the 6, not till friday though. stayed there last time, and it was fine. short walk to the venue, good lot, room was clean as far as i knew.. looking forward to it!
i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

Booked room at the "6" too. I'm sure it'll be fuqin rad. hearty amount of 10C members staying by the looks of it.
Rolling into Motel 6 around 2:00pm and will be ready to party. Should be a great time especially being a Friday.

I'm not disbelieving what you're saying about the motel 6, but can anyone else confirm 'hookers and other stuff are not uncommon'? Just doing my due diligence...

I can confirm that the Motel 6 is really NOT even an "OK" place to stay. All of Hartford is pretty much a hole, but where the venue is is even worse.
If you Google "Hartford Meadows Riots" you'll get an idea of the kind of behavior that is typical in and around that venue. A few years ago I was there for a Dave Matthews show & there were fires in the parking lot & police in riot gear. Just so happened I was also staying at the Motel 6. The place was filthy beyond reason (and I'm not a princess) and a little too close to the action down the street for my taste.
I'm staying at the Sheraton. Might be further away, but if there's hookers there, at least they don't leave pubes on the sheets before they let the management re-rent the room.
Seriously.

OK, now I'm worried! :( We're booked at the Motel 6 for Friday (getting in around 2) and we'll be heading to Mansfield first thing in the AM. Is it dangerous or just gross? I can handle gross, the Holiday Inn we stayed at in Philly '06 was gross but we didn't even move the bedcovers and just left first thing in the AM. I figured it wouldn't be too bad with a bunch of fans there so I booked it but now I'm having second thoughts.
How about the Super 8?? Is that bad? I just want something within walking distance.

I had originally booked a room at the motel 6 back in April, until my buddy who lives works in Hartford warned me not to stay there. He told me a story about a guy who was stabbed there just the night before our conversation and repeated a lot of the things saod above in this thread. He added it was worth the extra price to stay anywhere downtown (ie the hilton, crowne).
I am now staying at the Hilton for what its worth. Right next to the preparty at sweet janes and with the shuttle makes everything nice and convenient.

I am at the Sheraton too. It doesn't look that great but it is only one, so.
Jesus the Motel 6 is strating to scare me. i don't mind shitty motels when it's just me and friends, not like I'm going on a romantic getaway but getting stabbed after the show would be a buzz kill.
