I enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and spacious. Full size fridge was a pleasant surprise. Comfortable bed, big TV and nice bathroom. It was close to the highway and to a main road which gave me two easy made getting to Mohegan Sun. Fast food restaurants and convenient stores nearby. Definitely got more than my money's worth from this inn.

If you look on maps, it says this property is permanently closed. However, this property is the most open and functional property I have seen in the Groton area. The room I stayed in was recently re-done. The bathtub still had a sticker on it. It’s so clean. is a nice little family that owns the property and we love to support local businesses. Keep up the good work guys I hope to see you soon.

It was surprisingly new inside for the price. Very clean. Could hear people walking upstairs but that is to be expected with most hotels.

Semi decent no frills hotel
It was an ok stay but they were very stingy with the towels. The towels were perfect for a baby but not for adults. Other than that it was ok for the price

Clean, decent size room but very basic, there wasn't even shampoo in the room. Externally looked very sketchy. Super thin walls/floors, could hear everyone else walking around in other rooms. Served the purpose for one night but wouldn't stay there again.
