Travellers describe Solano Inn as a simple, good-value stay with spacious, recently updated rooms and friendly, accommodating staff, noting convenient access to local venues like Middletown and Saint Clements Castle, plus easy parking and in-room basics.
Cleanliness earns frequent praise, though some guests reported strong air-freshener scents, occasional housekeeping lapses, and a small number of pest sightings. Amenities are basic with no on-site breakfast, and a few reviews noted check-in delays or maintenance issues with HVAC, showers, or locks; some also felt the property is a bit out of the way. Expect a straightforward, spacious stay with friendly service and limited frills.

Fantastic property, room, and hospitality! It felt more like we were guests staying at someone's house or b&b. Extremely convenient location to St Clement's Castle, lots of parking, views of river. Clean lobby and hallway. Employee felt more like a hostess, genuinely wanting us to have a great stay! Clean and renovated room had ample space and was very tastefully decorated. Great bathroom and shower.

For $97/night it was excellent. Clean, kitchenette area, hot water was plentiful, basic amenities. Nothing extra. Hair dryer available on request. No extra towels or blankets. Heating/cooling was a wall unit and worked well but loud when it would switch on. Front desk not always attended, so may wait for check in and out.

Had bugs crawling in the bed and staff told me they didn’t see any and that it was the best room in the place as if they had slept in every room themselves. Then said they had people coming to spray every month to get rid of the bugs they knew they had ! Fought with me about giving a refund until finally doing so. Completely delusional. Place looks really shabby and worn out in person. Looks like your driving into a broken down trailer park.

We did enjoy our stay at the Solano Inn. Our room Was spacious and had a fridge and microwave. When we walked into the room the towels were folded into flowers on the bed which was nice! It was very clean except that after we showered we noticed long black hair, which must have been in the towels. Other than that, everything was great with our stay.

The ac unit did not take the humidity out of the air and everything felt damp in the room. The faucet fixtures were not secure. No iron or ironing board. There were several questionable characters hanging around outside several of the buildings. Check in was a nightmare. Having made a payment for half the amount of our stay, when i got to the hotel they told me I had to pay the entire amount. After FINALLY getting a customer care rep on the phone from hotels,com, I found out there was only a hold for half and the payment was never taken. That mess took 45 minutes to solve. The room was large and the bed was comfortable but with the negatives, I would not stay there again.

The location was very convenient to a wedding venue just down the street.

Stains in the ceiling. Generally ok but more used and worn out than I expected after seeing the pictures. That being said the AC worked, the bed was fine, the TV was nice with lots of free streaming. If you want better in the Portland CT area prepare to go north of 300 per night

I greatly enjoyed my recent one-night stay at the Solano Inn, in Portland, CT. I was coming from Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, to this quiet Inn near the (eastern) bank of the Connecticut River. Middletown is not far to the west, over the big bridge. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted at reception by Praia (? - Sorry about spelling!). She and a colleague assisted me with my luggage and some items to carry. As I have mobility challenges, I can park in 'blue' spaces (outside the Inn's main entrance). The room was spacious, seemingly newly-renovated, with a comfortable king bed and big TV. From my window, I could even see the river through the trees. This Inn has a great location. A popular breakfast place is just across the road from it (I did not go, this time), and downtown Portland is only about six minutes away west, on CT Route 66. There are several excellent restaurants around. I had a good dinner at one downtown. Upon check-out, they helped me carry my stuff out to my car! Next time I visit this area, I would stay at the Solano Inn. Quiet and comfy, it is a nice place to stay. Thank You!

Although it is not the fanciest place, it was in good repair and clean and tasteful. Very receptive staff that seemed eager to make sure customers are happy. That was much appreciated. Minor problem when i wanted the room to be a bit warmer as the thermostat was not working, but not to blame the staff at all because i did not ask them to address it. It was still a reasonable temp. Good people trying to run a nice place.

The hotel may not look at all fancy from outside, the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Receptionist offered a larger room as so we could fit our bikes in if we wanted them inside. Although on a busy road, neither my husband or I could hear traffic from the room. Check in and check out were simple, the receptionist accommodating and I would recommend for a stay for a few days The complimentary bottles of water were appreciated. My only suggestion would be to provide some outdoor seating. There was a picnic table near the office but a couple chairs outside room doors would be nice The location is a bit out of town from Middleton but a close 10 min drive to Main Street!

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.

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. The receptionists were very helpful and answered all our questions. We appreciated the small touches like the complimentary water bottles, coffee and toiletries. Will be coming back! Thank you so much.

Cycling down the Airline rail trail as part of a 5 day tour. Wonderful location close to trail, clean, quiet and a relaxing bath and bed. Breakfast spot across the street has superb breakfast bowls.

This is very small hotel, so it’s quiet, we never heard any other guests. The rooms are larger than most chain hotels and they are updated and comfortable. There is no breakfast, which we knew ahead of time, but there is a good breakfast/lunch place across the street and other options just a short drive away. The staff was very friendly. The location was very convenient to a wedding venue just down the street.

Tucked away in a quiet, but gorgeous, area. Nice restaurants nearby. Great spot - will definitely be back.

Sheets were fresh.Tub was dirty and there was a plug-in air freshener in bathroom that was too strong. Somehow the entrance has to be enhanced as we drove right past it.

It was an average hotel with minimal amenities. Unlikely to stay there again.

Worn down, falling apart, foam bed, but staff was great. Expensive, not a good value at all. I wish the owners would take pride in the property,

The room and property was amazingly clean. This is not a fancy hotel. It’s inthe country on good sized property. Plenty of parking. Close to numerous restaurants. If not for our schedule. I could spend multiple days there.
