At the geographic center of the state, the Best Western Plus New England Inn & Suites, Berlin, Connecticut, makes an easy home base for work or play, with a full hot breakfast, free high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and a microwave and refrigerator in every room.
The setting puts New Britain and Meriden within ten minutes and Hartford and New Haven both about twenty, close to two universities and the suburbs of greater Hartford. An amusement park, a dinosaur park, an upscale mall, and family spots like go-karts and mini-golf add to the mix.
Berlin sits squarely at the geographic center of Connecticut, which makes it a natural hub for exploring the greater Hartford area and the central part of the state. Lake Compounce, one of the country's oldest amusement parks, spins nearby, the trackways at Dinosaur State Park preserve real Jurassic footprints, and the campuses of Central Connecticut State and Wesleyan draw families and alumni year-round.
