Disliked: Cleanliness
We got a suite and the price was great! That being said, whomever cleans the rooms needs to pick up the very visible qtips, loose wiring bundle and trash from behind the bureau. Whomever paints/repairs the room should know to not paint over fixtures, especially brass kick plates. The staff was semi cordial but not overly friendly. A smile might be nice. I wouldn’t dare try the hot tub as I felt we might fall through the floor and spend the night with the guests below us. That’s my honest review. All else aside I’m not super picky and we actually had a great stay! For the money I’d stay there again.

The hotel was very unkept. The room had punch holes in the doors & walls. The rooms were extremely dated & didn’t feel clean. The tub floor was all scratched up & black. The towels dingy & thin. No coffee anywhere in the hotel. Also smelled like smoke throughout

The room was terrible. Bugs on the ceiling, cracks in bathroom sink, filthy tub and counter coming away from the wall. I would never recommend this place or stay there again. I’m a travel agent and will certainly not recommend that place to anyone of my clients.

So this is one of the cheapest hotels in the area. You need to understand that you get what you pay for. For $65 a night, this place will do. But the room was not that clean (stains on the walls, smells), the AC unit sucks, the lighting sucked, the window knobs didn’t crank to open, and you could see the wall damage. TVs also didn’t work when it rained. BUT…. $65 a night lol. So if you need the cheapest, it’s a bed and a room.

This is a property in need of restoration. We went to a concert at Mohegan Sun and wanted budget friendly accommodation. Price was great and accommodations were adequate though sorely in need of updating. Everything was old and worn but the room was clean.

The bottom of the barrel. Not much worse.

Where do I start? Falling apart. Got to the front “desk” and the clerk was behind bullet proof glass. The smell of “curry?” Coming from the other side of the slit was nauseating. The clerk had no personality at all. Main entrance was very dirty. Sidewalk has seen better days 10 years ago. There are temporary LP gas bottles lining the sidewalk, the meter for city gas was removed it appears. Got to our room. It was bad. Very very bad. The room had been smoked in, nonsmoking room. Everything was falling apart. The sheets were dirty. The bathroom was what you would expect from a rent by the hour hotel. The bad just kept getting worse. I actually made a TIKTOK of how bad it was. If you search Grimace1969 it is my first pinned on TikTok. For the love of god, please don’t go here. I had the creepy crawlys all night. Felt like things were crawling on me.

Room was spacious but outdated. Stains on furniture. Walls need repainting. Hallways have a odd smell. Jet tub is so loud you cant use. No staff seen beside check in. Location is coneventient if wanting to visit both casinos and mystic. Price is high for the overall quality of the hotel. Needs a face lift and clean.

Just the basics

The place was “clean enough” and the bed was very comfortable. Pleasant scent throughout the building. However, there are zero room amenities-no coffee pot (nor any cofffe in the lobby or within walking distance) no hairdryer (although one was available at the desk) etc. But the price was less than other places.
