The room was very spacious which worked for our stay because during part of one day there were four women getting ready for a wedding. The two queen and pull out sofa was appreciated because two of three of the nights we were at the hotel there were three adults. The holes (cigarette?) in the mattress pad and two of the bed covers were discerning. Only had two towels in bathroom despite booking for three people. Staff gladly gave an extra towel but there were black markings on the towel. Able to use it as counter cover when ironing some of the wedding clothes though had to ask for the iron. Overall the experience was fine, especially for the price. Wedding was in Mystic and hotel conveniently located.

It was a large suite and was clean. However, it smelled horrible, like musty. I almost got sick. We had to buy an air freshener. As soon as we entered the hallway, we could smell it. For that reason, I would never stay here again.

The space is large and clean. That staff was helpful. I'm sorry to say that the most noteworthy quality about this hotel is that there's an odor. The property has seen better days. Perhaps it's in the process of a rehab? Also, there is no coffee anywhere in the building or within several miles of the hotel.

the property and rooms were in poor condition but very clean. If you have a problem with lighting or outlets that worked but now don't instead of addressing the problem they pretend you are an idiot and don't know how light switches and outlets work. When you demonstrate the problem you are ignored or told nothing is wrong. I will not stay there again

We had an excellent stay! The room was very clean and really spacious. We loved the little kitchen area with mini fridge and microwave. The counter space was nice and the stools at the breakfast bar were really convenient for eating in if you wanted. The beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water for showering. Great location and parking. We had two shows at Mohegan Sun Arena, visited Mystic Aquarium and Waterford Beach. All were within 15 to 20 minutes away. Would definitely stay again. Great value for the price.

The room was bigger then I thought. The pictures do not show the whole room. The not good part was: tub took a long time to drain, so you are standing in the water. The walls showed where they patched it (should of sanded them down). My card took a few swipes to work each time I had to get into the room. The staff was not very friendly (all business), even when coming into the building they did not say hi/good evening, etc. Overall, it was worth staying there for my niece's wedding weekend.
