If you want to go to the casino and want inexpensive worth it. But this was our 1 year annivsrsary. First impression outside was ok tape on on screen quick fix. When entering the room smelled like fish. Had to go to walmart to get sent things. Oven unusable many lights unusable holes in walls windows do not work if you try to use them good luck. Carpets had wet spots. Shower curtain rod falling down. And closets unusable. These are not suites its a quick stay. Glad we were only in there to sleep a few hours and left. Spend the extra bucks for a more up to date place.

The property is so worn down. The whole thing is sketchy and I felt unsafe. The door didn’t even latch all the way, and no one was ever at the front desk. There were so many spiders too. And stains on all of the towels and sheets.

Girl at the desk is very nice. I’ve stayed here 3 times everything was clean except this time the room didn’t look like it was even cleaned. I would definitely still stay here again. The place is old and definitely needs to be updated, but the important thing is there are no roaches or bedbugs. Stay away from RedRoof and Clarion in New London..

The outside of the building appears to be in very good condition. It looks nice when you pull up. The parking lot is not the cleanest, but it’s not overrun with trash. However, once you go inside, you will notice things like blood stains on the wall ceiling falling in with holes in it. The room was disgusting. The linens on the bed were clearly stained yellow somebody had cooked in their prior to us coming in, so it smelled like old food, the cooktops were not clean. They were filled with grease and the electric range. Top pieces were missing. The wallpaper was peeling. There was extensive mold in the bathroom and it was just not a place that I felt comfortable spending the night so I slept on the couch with a sheet that I had in my car. The rooms did not look like the picture the microwave was on a sagging shelf, so it was almost sideways. I did leave a review on Google reviews under my own name with pictures of it, but I would not stay here again even if I was paid to do so

I cancelled early morning on arrival day and was told there would be no refund on a weekend that he could have easily rented for more then he charged me. He most likely did rent the room because I told him I would not be able to use it.

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.

The property is a little dated, but the room was HUGE, clean, shower was hot, bed was comfortable. There was a nice L shaped couch we both could stretch out on after a long day of travel. There was a tv in the living area and the bedroom area. Parking was free. The staff was friendly, maybe family owned. Mystic is a 10 min drive w lots of dining options. Hotel had similar reviews as other properties in the area at a fraction of the price, would stay again!

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.
