Default Temporary places to live near Hartford this summer
I'm waiting to possibly be accepted into a career training program that would involve spending 2 1/2 months in Hartford this summer. I could in the end for the job end up anywhere in the state, including areas close to where I live now (in NY State very near Fairfield County).

I will know for sure by the end of this week and if accepted and I take it, I would be starting this program in early June. I am not looking for permanent housing because I may end up in a different part of the state 3 months later.

What would be the best option for something inexpensive and safe? I would not be bringing up much stuff with me, just some clothes and my laptop. I am around 40 so I'm not sure sharing a small apt. with local college kids would work out either but maybe I'm wrong.

My thought if this all comes to pass to look into the local Motel 6 and ask if they'd give a special "short term" rate. Opinions on that idea are welcome. Also, any other ideas are much appreciated.

You can check Craigslist for sublets; there are times people have to go away during the summer and need to sublet their apartment to avoid breaking their leases. In those cases the apartments are usually furnished, too. Not everyone on CL looking for a roommate is a college student (though most are)...I've seen a few that are older couples with available rooms, single parents, etc. It's worth a shot to look, or you could also check out some kind of extended stay hotel.

Yep, a summer sublet seems like the best idea by far. Check with local universities and colleges (UHa, Trinity, UConn Law, etc.), as many professors leave for the summer, as well as grad students.

UPDATE: Got notice of acceptance and am planning to do it. I have to go up to an orientation next Monday and Tuesday (and a 2nd one on May 14-15) so I will look into all this then. Thanks everyone!

Because it will determine your choices such as Homewood suites, short term apartment rental etc etc.

"low as possible" is not a number to work with, but it's at least an indicator. If you really want "low as possible" the Y is a good start. lol
