Overpriced with no functioning ac

This is an old motel. The room was clean. It was very hot because the air-conditioning unit was on but was not removing any moisture from the air. As a result, the room was like a sauna. The windows cannot be opened. The bathroom is extremely small with no shelving for toiletries and no shelving in the shower for shampoo etc. This motel is overpriced.

For the price compared to other lodging in the area this this a great value. The staff was very helpful, nice and welcoming. And it’s location is very convenient to Mohegan Sun Casino (15 min drive). Having said that, the motel has its shortcomings. To start, the room was dirty. We dropped a hand towel on the floor and when we picked it up it was filthy. The shower still had hair in it from the last people who stayed there. And the bedding was so uncomfortable that my wife and I went to Target and bought a new blanket and set of sheets. Additionally, the rooms were not sound proof.. We will leave that one at that. I would not recommend this lodge as a family stay, but if you are going to Mohegan for the night/weekend it is comfortable enough. I would recommend bringing your own blankets and pillows for comfort.

The owner was especially friendly and helpful. The room was clean and attractive, just like the photo. Wish there were additional pillows and a coffee maker, but we did not view other larger rooms, so it may have just been this one. It was very satisfying to support a small business.

It was an average experience. The owners were nice. The bathrooms were clean; the room seemed clean at first glance. But my toddler dropped something behind the bed as he usually does even at home, I had to move it slightly and it was very dirty underneath the bed. I almost wanted to ask for a broom and sweet it myself. Other than that it was an okay experience. I liked that it was quiet and a close distance to entertainment like Foxwoods.

Good location, great price

Great cost effective place to stay close to Mohegan Sun! Uber was inexpensive to and from the concert. Room was spacious and had a fridge. Bed was comfy enough. Our only issue was the little window unit ac never got it quite cold enough for our preference, but it did cool it down enough to sleep.

Stayed here for two nights while spending a weekend at the casino. It’s close to Mohegan Sun, only about 12 minutes away and saved me a lot of money. 24 hour mini mart next door too. The husband and wife (owners?) were really kind and friendly. It was quiet, the room was clean, fridge and microwave. It was a great deal and I would definitely stay here again next time I go to the casino overnight rather than pay full weekend rate at the casino which is like $500-600 a night.

The shower was too gross to use, there was hair all over the mattress, and the tv was not working and the staff could not fix it and told me “I don’t know what to tell you”. We put the room key in the drop box and left at 11:00 pm and didn’t even bother staying the night in the motel.

Small and overpriced

It was semi- close to Mystic where we would be spending the weekend and the pet fee was low- $20/night. The owner said it is due to the "good washing of the sheets" they do afterwards. No housekeeping during stay. Unclear if we were supposed to dump our own garbage. 3 adults & 1 med. dog. The room was small and dark -no overhead light- only at table and night table, very bright in bathroom. Room alternated between too hot (Mom says bathroom was always cold) and cold (AC/Fan buttons were difficult). Only 2 chairs at table. Disappointed there was no sleep timer on the small TV which was desperately needed as the shower was dripping. The phone did not give directions on how to use (call 9? area code first?) to call the office and when did reach the number, it went to answering machine. I think they called us back but we did not pick it up in time. Parking was right outside the room, although since we were in 2 cars, my Dad had to park a few spots down. Also there was a very steep front step in front of the room which my Dad, who uses a cane, struggled with. Unfortunately, it was too cold to use the outdoor seating, swings, gazebo, and pool (not opened yet). People smoked outside as there was multiple ashtrays but no smoking inside room. There were no extra pillows available and mine smelled like smoke. When moving the undersheet, I saw a small blood stain on it. So overall disappointing and no one slept well.

GO ELSEWHERE ... never again!

Old-fashioned room. No coffeemaker, coffee, tea or even paper cups for microwave. Double beds were single beds strapped together. Beds were hard and over-used. Pillows were flat foam, Dollar Store quality (which may be slightly better). Had to use blankets as pillow substitute. Sink faucet kept spinning around. Amenities such as soap & conditioner were cheap and single packets (had to share). Clerk did not give us internet access code, not located in room, had to walk back to get code. In-room phone did not allow to call front desk. My i-phone kept dropping signal and loosing internet access. Not an attractive site, it is an old-fashioned 50's motel. Not worth the price-tag of $175. Budget motel - for the owner! At $175 a night, owner should provide a few more dollars of item and comfort. Would not stay here again. My advice, GO ELSEWHERE!
