“Certifiable nightmare”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was looking for "just a place to sleep" while my wife and I went to Foxwoods, after checking in, we entered the hallway and were overcome by a smell I can't describe, it hurt to breathe, the smell was more potent in the room, the shower curtains were slimey and stained, the wallpaper was peeled away from the wall in the corner near the windows, showing mold and spiderwebs behind it. the fridge smelled old, like it hadn't been used in years and the bedspread stank something horrible. We couldn't stay we turned in our key and left, it's a shame we couldn't get a refund (hotwire) the guy behind the desk convinced us to check out "a clean room on the 3rd floor" and while it was cleaner, and better maintained, the smell was too much, if you can't breathe, you can't sleep.

Room Tip: read the reviews, you book 1 star, you get 1 star.

“Quite and pleasant.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011

Front desk staff were very helpful. The motel is under renovation but soon it would overtake the business of the other motels in place. Kevin (Front desk manager) has guided us to our room as my parents were old and couldn't able to walk.

Room Tip: Ask for a queen size bed

“below average just a place to crash for the night”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

went online and checked all of the reviews most of them were bad but that was because they were written a few years ago. the recent ones were good so we went with this place just to stay overnight at the shore. we got there and the place looked ok. a little run down on the outside. going to our rooms the second floor reeked of some kind of spice or smell it was also the only smoking floor. and the 3rd floor had some smell but not much. doors were need of repairs, and carpets in the hallways needed repairs and a good cleaning. room was average except that there was rust on the shower head. place is suposed to be under renovations but i don't see anything going on. we went to check out the pool and there was a dirty dipper on the table. hotel needs a huge over lift. starting with making the hallways smell nicer. its nice if you want to just crash for the night no frills. was expecting more for my money

Room Tip: only go if you just want to crash for the night

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

This hotel is disgusting,moldy shower heads and moldy shower curtains.no fitted sheets at a hotel how gross.the comforters smell and look as if they have NEVER been washed.curtains in room were stained and also looked as if the last time it was clean it was being pulled out of the box!stains on carpets holes in walls.there was actually duct tape between wall and carpet holding it together. COCKROACHES around ice machines in hallways,who knows if they even maintain the ice machines those are probably moldy inside too.I would never recomend anyone to stay at this gross motel,I was afraid to have cockroaches get into my bags .pet friendly is fine but clumps of fur in halls ???housekeeping staff needs to find a new profession!GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!!!!
