Front desk person was ambivalent to me. Understanding it was 11 pm when I checked in but he seemed upset to be there. Elevator smelled like moth balls. Room was spacious and heat worked fine. For a 1 night fine but probably not longer. Also sheets were stained and blanket had holes.

Clean but not fancy
It was ok. The rooms were clean but really outdated and some outlets didn't work and a light did not work. Location was quiet. It is ok if you want to stay for an inexpensive room but not expecting extras like breakfast. Family who owned was nice and treated us well.

Hotel was very dated. It was a bit sketchy. We could hear our neighbor snoring.

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.

Great room with kitchen area that included an island and stools with an additional sink. Separate living room area with lots of seating. Room was VERY dated and showed many signs of old age but was very functional.
