What Guests Are Saying

“Perfect quiet location. Foxwoods is less than 5 minute drive from hotel. Clean, plenty of parking, decent cook to order breakfast (only 1 person there to take orders so a bit of a wait). The Hotel and my room was better looking than expected since the photos online looked a bit underwhelming (team should take new brighter photos). Front desk was super friendly and accommodating. My daughter enjoyed the pool too. Will visit again.” — denisewg, 5 stars

“Overall wonderful experience at the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was warm, spacious and most of all clean. The quiet location was perfect and the cost was definitely a bargain compare to the other area hotels.” — Shirley D., 5 stars

“I paid extra for a spacious king room with jacuzzi at the end of the hallway. Checked in with no issue. Room was quiet. The room’s decor is rather drab and uninviting. AC was loud and couldn’t regulate temperature well, it kept blowing hot air making the room unbearably hot, I had to turn it off to sleep. When I was sitting on the side chair, I felt something on my ankle and looked down. It was a crawling roach, I squashed it and felt grossed out. Next morning checked out early to move to a different hotel. I think it’s an older building with an older AC unit and potential pest issues (one roach may or may not indicate a broader problem).” — VerifiedReviewer, 2 stars
