Connecticut Convention Center Review

We were at the Connecticut convention center for an all star cheerleading competition. Arena was very clean, and competition ran smoothly. Prices were super high unfortunately, but we had a great time regardless!

Very nice and clean. Large restrooms with great soap. Very nice lobby area. Bars and restaurants and hotels are on site. Security is very nice and family-friendly.

A beautiful facility, with even more beautiful folks working there. Every employee I encountered/interacted with was amazing! Excellence with a personal touch. Facilities were amazingly clean, easy to navigate, etc. And the best part of it all-Connecticut convention center has lunch discounts with food providers in the area-just snap a selfie of yourself in front of the "Welcome to Hartford" sign....

The convention center is attached to a hotel. For volleyball they set up places to get shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants. They also have other accessories. They set up a place to relieve pain in your muscles and bathrooms are under the stairs going up to the third floor. You have to check in through a line if you arent a player but if you are a player you need your jersey on and your tag that your coach will give you. Inside there was about 30 different courts on the courts there were male and female teams. The higher the number of the court the farther back it is. There are snacks near court 30 and also have drinks.

My favorite con that comes to here is the car show/ convention.

Love it awesome time to go around convention time

Right off the highway with convenient parking. We went for a home show and even though we were just getting ideas, they did a good job at giving all the companies fair space to show their products

I went to the travel show and had a good experience. It's easy to find and is right off the highway. Parking is right next door. The place is clean and well labeled.

Had to work in a show for Comcast Women's Expo
The space was nice, but the sound system was WAY TOO LOUD
The food they had in the snack bar was aweful
every year they have over priced horrible food choices , the only alternative when you are working is to go to Starbucks, luckily they are there or every one would have a stomach ache.

Nice venue, not great food options in walking distance - the neighborhood was unprepared for a crowd.

Go when there is less kids. Usually avoid weekends, school vacations and the 2 wks before end of school years because that's when the school have field trips.

Great event venue but sound quality could be better.

My self and my fiance went to see the bodyguard what a great performance

Came here for Connecticon. The facility was kept very clean. The organization of the events and such left much to be desired and there was also an incident involving too much weight on the escalators and threats of fire marshall's being called in to close the whole thing down. Could have been handled much more professionally.

Staff is always friendly and helpful, and the building is always clean. The area is in a realatively safer part of Hartford and is attached to the Marriott which makes it a perfect convention center for those from out of town to visit.

For years now my employer, Wickham Park hosts a booth at the Bridal Expo, the site is beautifully lit, decorated classy, draws an amazing seriously interested crowd. Only show we participate in! Venue Director at Wickham Park

CT Flower Show was wonderful. The center was easy to get to and the parking plentiful.

Parking can be tight for multiple events... attended a gala in the ballroom... staff is great...food is ok...venue is perfect for a large crowd

Much improved. I have attended several conferences and trade shows here over the past 18 months with no issues.

Bathrooms were immaculate & staff really helpful. I do facilities management full time and I was impressed by all aspects of the site.

Had a great time here at the North American Handmade Bike Show. The whole place was spotless and the people were pleasant.

Real fun place went for the home show with kids had blast

This incredible place provides enjoyment and adventure for those from 5 to 85 years old. You can see science experience science and dig your fingers into science in a way that no other place that I've seen has. A must see if you are in Connecticut for family business or just passing through :-)

Facilities are nice, but the convention center clearly doesn t talk to any nearby businesses. Came here over a holiday and none of the sit-down restaurants were open for dinner. This isn t the vibe I d encourage for a convention center trying to bring economic development to its city.

The World Retro Expo that was hosted there was an incredible event. The staff were friendly and the site itself was very well maintained and clean.

I went to the CT golf show and convention on a Friday. We arrived before the doors opened and the parking garage was jammed with cars looking for an open spot. Terrible layout and not enough spaces to handle 2 relatively moderate shows, and employee parking. This reflects poorly on Hartford and the state.

The convention center is pretty cool, I attended a number of different events here and I'm amazed how they are able to transform the space to cater to the crowd. We went to Jurrasic Quest recently and it was quite an experience...a bit pricey but the children had a lot of fun and event staff as well and the convention center staff were all really great and helpful.

The place was easily accessible and there are little reminders and helpful tips all around to help you your parking apot/area.

Fabulous location, building, parking, plus good food. It needed a bit more variety but good quality all around. My function was in the ballrooms which were beautiful. Bathrooms immaculate.

Cool convention center with plenty of restuarants around it.

Parking is a little disjointed, but otherwise this venue is always clean and well staffed, with clear directions to get you to your event.

i love going there to the boat show car shows and hunting and fishing shows all year long big open place and inexpensive

Amazing places for photos, and the lobbys itself are cool despite the heatwave.

Visited for the International Auto Show and it was fun

This is a great convention center. I have attended ConnectiCon here for several years. There are a good variety of room sizes to accommodate both large events and small panels. There are also plenty of doors at both the lower and middle floor to allow for easy access. (ConnectiCon frustratingly doesn't utilize all of these doors, leading to accessibility issues, but that's not the convention center's fault.) The only thing I dislike about the convention center is the lack of good free WiFi for guests.

Love it i go this every year and always have fun n meet new people

Nice design overall including a couple of different levels. Nice hotel connected to the Convention Center. Hotel had a nice bar on the main level. I only had drinks so I can't comment about the food. The parking was a bit high so I would try to find coupons online.

Love it just fyi buy one by one passes not all one bags together

The convention center was amazing. It's huge and everything is modern and fancy. The bathrooms even have lounges in them!!!

Security Guards are rude here, well at least some of them. A bunch of try-hards.

The conference center had plenty of space for our conference, was laid out well, and the food was excellent! My only complaint is that I would have loved a coffee shop. The coffee provided was good, but i prefer iced coffee. Other than that my experience was wonderful.

Gorgeous venue overlooking the CT river. Surrounding area has many activities, walkway to the Riverfront Recapture amphitheater and beautiful Boat House which is available for events. CT Science Center next door, theater across the street, delicious food. The staff here is amazing and the convention center is pristine. Wonderful.

A parent's greatest partner that provides fun and science .This place has something for everyone at any age to explore and enjoy.The satisfaction you receive knowing your children are learning at the same time.the center takes great pride in preparation of the next exhibit.THE place keeps evolving .from the 3d movies to the fro,low yogurts,to subways to train rides on the plaza for th2 Lil ones.I had to become a member because it meets my grand kids total interest and we go as a family to explore. This is a 10 star Ct Destination.

If you're a UCONN student it's legit cheaper to park on the street. The parking "deal" is a rip off. Not to mention this parking garage polices their parking spots like Nazis.

Great place employees are nice and great place to host your events
