My BF and I stood here because of an EXTREME last minute decision to go to Mohegan Sun. (talking 9pm!!) Everywhere in the area was booked, or so they were telling me on the phone, and since basically we needed just a place to crash, we wound up here. I'm undecided on whether we'll stay here again.
Pros:
Microwave and fridge in the room with a small freezer.
Close to the highway.
Management was friendly enough and allowed us a late checkout.
The room was a good temperature and was adjustable.
There was a bathtub.
The room was adequate size with enough cable channels to please.
There was no funny smells in the room.
Very close to the casinos (about 10 min from Mohegan Sun, 20 from Foxwoods)
Cons:
The bed did not have a fitted sheet on it, just a sheet thrown on the bed.
There were mysterious brown stains on the walls in the bathroom. Looked more like something spilled or burned, than something nasty.
Only amenity provided was shampoo and soap, but then again for $59 I wasn't expecting much.
Only one hanger in the room and it was a wire hanger.
Room was of the drive up to your door type. (Could be a pro depending on your view)
Basically, I'm unsure if I would stay here again. Next time we may try a different budget hotel since we're not picky, our only requirements are cleanliness and a comfortable bed!!

Dear Guest,
Thank you for choosing to stay at Americas Best Value Inn-Niantic/East Lyme during your recent visit in our area. I hope that you and your BF had a wonderful and hopefully productive time at the local casinos.
I’m glad that you found our management to be friendly. It is our intention that our valued guests always be treated in a friendly manor, but it is always nice to have that behavior confirmed by our guests themselves.
It is also nice to know that for the most part you liked your room.
Upon receipt of your review, the following steps were taken:
1) Both house keeping and maintenance were notified about the brown stains on the bathroom walls of the room which you occupied and asked to see to see to their removal.
2) Housekeeping also received extra training concerning using a fitted sheet in making the bed.
I hope that the next time you visit in our area you will once again choose to stay at Americas Best Value Inn-Niantic/East Lyme. I think you will be very pleased.
Sincerely,
