If you are looking for a run down place to stay this is it. The shower had very low pressure and looked like the pipe was going to fall out of the wall. There is only heat in the bedroom not the living room. The front of the kitchen cabinet fell off while we were sitting across the room.

Pretty gross

The only saving grace was that the bed was very comfortable. The room and rest of the hotel are in shambles. Disgusting out dated appliances that were all broken in some way. and a laughable excuse of a whirlpool tub. It’s a shame because the property has a lot of potential with the suite being huge with a balcony but so gross that you don’t really want to touch anything. I’m glad it was only a night.

This hotel is absolutely disgusting. What a waste of money I had to cancel my reservation and go elsewhere. I can’t believe Expedia has this hotel on your website. It doesn’t even deserve a star. Heater was broken. Staff was rude. Room was dirty. Towels were very dingy . TV was old and and the microwave looked like it was one of the first ones that were ever made . room smell like pure smoke even though I had a non-smoking room . hallway was freezing so was my room . door wouldn’t lock had to put a coffee table in front of it area is very unsafe.

This was a great place for my husband and I to stay the night after foxwoods. Our room was huge, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. It was clean, and overall I’d come back and stay again. It’s definitely dated, but it was clean enough for me to sleep without getting the hebbie jeebeze. We even had a walk out slider and could park right outside which made for easy unpacking.

I liked the suite with the jacuzzi and it was very roomy! I would recommend a bit of updating! We did have a pleasant stay with no issues! It isn’t a 5 star hotel but it’s worth it for a night of fun at the casino! My family always comes back to this motel when heading to the casino. Only motel in area for decent money with a jacuzzi!
