10/10 Exceptional

Exceeded expectations for the price

Great deal for a Saturday night. GF and I went to a show at Foxwoods and stayed here. The room was very clean and the window view was very pleasant while laying in bed. Microwave and fridge were awesome. My only complaint is that the bed was not that comfortable but we would stay here again given the affordable price.

Good value for a one night stop

Place is fine. Stayed here before. It’s Friday night and one of the patrons is noisy, but it’s Friday night.
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room for the value. Full size fridge, microwave and a nice bathroom and kitchen areas. It is my go to hotel when I have to do anything at Mohegan.Sun or Foxwoods
Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I only stayed for one night, but was pleasantly surprised at the spacious room, (I stayed in the king room) and for an affordable option, o sleep well and has everything you would need, including a full size fridge. It had a nice tv also. The reviews didn’t steer me wrong.
Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is annexcellent value for the price. We highly recommend for a family or even just couples. Closes to shopping, food, and 15 minutes to Mohegan Sun.

8/10 Very good

Excellent Stay

Good experience. Actually better than I expected. Clean, comfortable, and neat. The fridge was a slim 5 foot one with a freezer and a decent size microwave. Those 2 things are a bonus and both in immaculate condition. The sheets were clean and the bed was made up nice. Bathroom was also clean. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was that the ‘bathroom sink’ is placed outside of the bathroom close to the microwave and counter which was weird to me.
Sammy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place next door, I think it’s called Sneeker’s Cafe. Great food.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk staff was very nice, they let me know after 11pm there was no staff on duty and that the keys would unlock the front door after 11pm. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. It had a FULL size fridge, microwave, and modern Quartz sink counters. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, safe place to stay. The price was very reasonable under $90 WITH taxes included. Affordable and Clean will have our family coming back next time.

Room was nice and recently renovated. Only downside were was that it was easy to hear the neighbors through the walls.

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, Good Price, Good amenities

Totally surprised about the cleanliness and amenities of this location, at first sight it doesn't look like much but I've enjoyed multiple stays here. The pricing is great as well
