Holiday Inn Express 440 Asylum St Hartford, CT 06103 Phone: 860-246-9900	Located just on the opposite side of Bushnell Park from the Bushnell Center. And right next to the Hartford train depot. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Rooms have fridges and microwaves. They also serve a continental breakfast daily. The room were clean, but small. Decent beds and bedding. Very nice staff. Small fitness room and business center onsite. This wasn't a company housing choice, but one of our cast members got us an independent rate of $79.00 per night for five rooms. ~Laura, Mamma Mia!	***

Amazing! ~Enrico, Mamma Mia! I had the same thing. So good! (And the artichokes stuffed with crab meat.) ~Kristine, Mamma Mia The pesto gnocchi was fantastic. I didn't actually order it, but I nibbled off of my my friends. Great restaurant. ~Company member, Mamma Mia! Located on the other side if th park from the Bushnell. They have a nice menu with some interesting goodies on it. I, too, enjoyed the tuna. The steaks were good, and the "Pasta Elvis" was too amazing (and pretty rich). They also have a nice bar which stays open late after shows. Right next to the Holiday Inn Express. ~Laura, Mamma Mia!	***
Max Tavern/Downtown City Place 185 Asylum Street Hartford, CT 06103 Phone: 860-522-2530 Fax: 860-246-5279	I didn't eat in the main dining room, Max Downtown, but I did eat in the Tavern a couple of times. They have a $2.00 bar menu including a huge burger which is a pretty great deal. The bar menu is in effect from 4:00-6:00PM, but be warned, the staff gets a bit distracted as they set-up for the main dining room dinner hour. The first time I ate there it was terrific; the second time, not so much. ~Laura, Mamma Mia!	***
