Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Uncasville Casino Area

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Uncasville Casino Area

10/10 Excellent
"I LOVED the large window seat in the rooms, because it was great for laying out our items for the next day, etc. The bed was a bit soft for my personal preference, but it was almost like my husband’s “sleep number” so he was happy. Breakfast was congested at times since it’s set up in a U shape (pancake machine, omelets and waffles ready to heat up, coffee and juices, cereal/bagels, yogurt and hard boiled eggs). 3rd floor had some odd unknown odors when walking down the hallway each day…we were there 9 days…but inside our room was fine."
