When is the best time to go to Blue Hills?

The best time to go to Blue Hills for pleasant weather and outdoor activities is from late spring to early autumn, specifically May through October. During these months, the weather is generally mild and comfortable, with warmer temperatures great for exploring the many hiking trails and enjoying the scenic beauty of the area. You'll find the Blue Hills Reservation, with its extensive network of paths and viewpoints like the Great Blue Hill, particularly inviting. For those who enjoy water activities and festivals, the peak summer months of July and August are ideal. The local lakes offer opportunities for kayaking and paddleboarding, and many towns in the vicinity host outdoor concerts and farmers' markets which are lovely to experience. If you're interested in seeing the spectacular autumn foliage, late September and October are truly magical. The hillsides transform into a canvas of reds, oranges, and yellows, making it an excellent time for scenic drives and photography.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Blue Hills hotel for you.

Top Blue Hills Hotel Reviews

Candlewood Suites Hartford Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Best Western Hartford Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"This is an older motel.... room was clean and well stocked. Our room was at the end of a hallway and a convenient entry door at the back of the building. Parking was plentiful and with handicapped tag, as we were right next to the door. I am glad on my reservation I made a comment that we preferred a ground level room if there is no elevator. Inside this back entry door was a set of stairs going to the second level.... very hard to lug suitcases etc. up steps for seniors. Breakfast area is pleasant and a variety of hot sausage and eggs and bagels, muffins, etc Something I had never seen before was premade French toast....heat up in the toaster and enjoy with butter/syrup. A variety of juices and coffee available. My husband went down there one morning and found none of the containers were being refilled and it wasn't that late. This stayed open until 10 am which is later than most other motel/hotel breakfast areas."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Hartford - Bradley Airport

8/10 Good

"It was a nice, typical hotel. Better than some, but not worse than others. The clerk lacked a welcoming demeanor but he worked with us to get things done. It was quiet. We left too early to try the buffet. Parking was handy. The room was clean."
