The station is less than one-half a mile from the hotel. If you are arriving by bus or train, there is usually a line of taxis waiting there. If there are none, call Harry’s Taxi at 860-442-4054. Or, if you’d rather walk, head south from the station entrance on Water Street. In 75 feet, turn right onto State Street. Proceed down State Street to the third right, Union Street (.2 mile). Governor Winthrop Boulevard is 2 blocks up Union Street (.1 mile). Cross Governor Winthrop Boulevard and turn left. The Holiday Inn is about 200 yards down on the right.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div></span></body></html>
