Clean property. Easy parking and close to Mystic Village. Good water pressure in the shower. Staff was helpful. The first room offered to us has a buzzing sound and we got a new room right the way.
It has all the basic you need - fridge, microwave, a safe etc, but nothing too fancy. Good when you are at the hotel for sleep.
Room was clean, bed was comfy, staff very friendly.

Front desk staff friendly at arrival and at check out. Hallway smelled of trash but room was clean. No amenities in room (cups) or hot water in lobby. No grab bars in shower. Location is excellent with on site parking.

The staff were nice. We chose to switch to a different hotel after we checked in. Our room had stains on the floor, furniture, and walls. The bathroom was untouchable and unsanitary. The gap between the wall and air conditioning unit was huge.

Great location, right off the highway. Close to many attractions. The hotel itself is very dated and in need of major work and updating. The mattress was lumpy, towels were very rough and old, rug was dirty in the room and in the hallway. The side door to enter the building was unsecured and could be opened without a key. Front staff was pleasant and friendly.

Maybe it was the nearby construction but the outside environment seemed sketchy. Bed and pillow were very comfy but room seemed very dated.
Comfortable bed, coffee in the morning. However if you like your hotel brand new and fancy, not your place to be. This place is cheap, greatly located (restaurants, olde village). Our stay was comfortable.
Very convenient location. I was actually surprised how impeccably neat and clean the room was after walking through a rather shabby entrance door and the hallway. But the room of course is the more important. Good air conditioning, good shower. Fridge is basic and very small + watch out for the preset T - it was set too low (as for the freezer), which froze all my veggies that I put in it.

The room was clean and front desk staff was very courteous and helpful.
The room was mostly clean, bathroom was a little dirty. They don’t offer breakfast, just a 10% discount at the diner next door which was not mentioned before checking in. They’re renovating so it smells like paint and noisy. The actual yard areas are messy with debris and not mowed. The pool was okay except they left the dead bugs from the filter all over the floors and had a real loud machine running the whole time. The vending machine gave the wrong items. They also only change towels and sheets every three days unless you request more. It being next to the diner was nice for quick meals and not fighting traffic. Walking distance to olde Mistick village was nice. The air conditioner wouldn’t keep the fan on and the backsliders wouldn’t open either. Overall it was decent but for $100+ night I’d have preferred towels and sheets. There’s no coffee maker or anything in the rooms either.

Room and bathroom was clean, bed comfortable. Quiet area
Room was clean
Front desk friendly
Parking was excellent
Air Conditioning worked great
Pool had way too many chemicals/chlorine in it. Grandson looked like he had a sunburn but got better after a shower.
If you're looking for a nice vacation or get away, avoid at all costs. This place is a dump and is no better than a truck stop motel. I don't know if the pictures are old or AI but it looks drastically nicer online. Aside from the dirty bathroom and overall run down look of the hotel, the entire place reeks of weed and cigarettes. The staff was friendly enough and the location was central to everything, but the hotel itself was just gross.
No pets. Raj and his staff were excellent . I would definitely recommend

We enjoy staying at this location..this visit our refrigerator was not working, after having to pack up and move to another room the extra security lock on the door was missing and the sliding door security bar was broken…it seemed the little things were over looked…housekeeping was very accommodating in assisting with minor details…we do plan on staying here again!!
