My ac unit went out and I was staying for 2 weeks. They didn’t give us a fan or change our rooms when they said they would. They wouldn’t even compensate us for the HELL we were staying in. Mind you we’re homeless so we had to stay there.

It was a good place to sleep. There were no shampoos, or anything in the room. Just a bar of soap. The hall smelled like weed but the room didn't. If you are just looking for a cheap place to lay your head. This is it.

Not the worst
It was comfortable enough for the price. Beds had waterproof mattress pads which is good however turning over and moving sounded like I was sleeping on a bread bag. There was a table but no chairs. It seemed freshly painted and newly remodeled but there was an odor throughout the hotel. There was a coffee station in the morning from 7-10 in the lobby but no fresh creamer (only powder packets) and no food. Not even a vending machine. You get what you pay for. We were only looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring mystic and shopping. The staff was very nice.

While the bathroom and the sheets were clean, the blanket and pillows were stained. I did appreciate that the nonsmoking room was not smoky, and all the staff members were very friendly.

Great spot just far enough away!
Wonderful conveniently located hotel! It was a random choice and served its purpose. The only problem we ran into was no hot water for the second person’s shower. Also, could hear surrounding neighbors.

Mattress covers are awfully plastic and sounds like plastic bags when you move. There is no shampoo, hair dryer or iron in the units. Wi-Fi is extremely slow to the extent of not working at all. Area around the hotel is empty. Though the expectations were not high but it was one of the worst stay and we tried to leave as soon as possible.
