What Guests Are Saying
“I love the old-school design of the building. The rooms were very clean with laminate flooring instead of nasty carpet. You have to request maid service for multi-day stays, which I liked. Nothing fancy but it had everything I needed, and I will stay again.” — gertrude h, 5 stars
“Room smell was musty even with the window wide open or the air on. Dirty in corners, very old, and ‘Do not sit or stand outside your room’ signs everywhere. The shower was really powerful and the curtain could not handle it, so water went on the floor. The whirlpool in the room was wonderful. Right next to a McDonald’s, Dunkin’, and a supermarket — easily walked in two minutes.” — tank_7, 2 stars
“Easily the dirtiest motel I have stayed in. The bedding had over a hundred burn marks through all four layers into the mattress, and the front desk said it was a smoking room and we should have requested non-smoking. We refused to sleep in it and got clean bedding. Close to $170 a night for a slumlord motel.” — Al B, 1 star

What guests are saying about Plymouth Motor Lodge.
"This place has really nice rooms compared to 2 years ago. I decided to give them another try and I was not disappointed. Area was quiet, our room was completely renovated, no smoke smell at all. The staff was amazing and friendly. We will definitely use this hotel again. So glad I gave it another shot."

The management couldn't do anything about that. We were very happy with the room we got for the location and the price. We were able to go to St Joseph's Church in Winsted, CT."

New floors, fresh paint, clean new towels and very affordable. The management team was friendly and accommodating. It was a pleasant stay."
