I was promised early check in but when I arrived I was kept waiting an hour. In the morning I went out early. When I returned my key didn’t work. There was no staff at the front desk until 11:30. Simply outrageous.

Spend a little more and stay at a nicer hotel.

Very poorly maintained room. The door key cards didn't work when we came back from dinner. Even after the lady in the lobby recoded them, only one worked. Apparently, they didnt understand that i paid the room in advance, tried to run my card for that along with incidentals, which caused a glitch and they had somehow lost our file by the time I came back about the key cards. The bathroom door was hard to open and close, and didnt lock. You cant turn off the light outside the sliding door, which is about a million lumens, so its still bright in the room with the lights off and curtain drawn. All the outlets are so worn out, all of our chargers kept slipping out. The room had a funky smell, like mildew thats been treated but isnt quite gone. The air conditioner sounds like a prop plane engine getting up to speed. The only real positives are that the mini fridge was clean, the pool area was in decent shape, and that it was close to attractions.

Traveled from Philadelphia for a friends wedding and the hotel was just a 8 minute drive from the wedding venue. Hotel check-in easy & fast. For an Inn it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Rooms were cleaned so as hotel areas. Needs a bit of updating but for my first time in Connecticut and needed a room at the last minute it was okay.

Go somewhere else.

The ac didn't work and maintenance never came despite calling the front desk mulriple times. After 3 1/2 hours the front desk offer to move us to a new room, but it was seven thirty at night.We were totally unpacked, and I was with a six year old who was tired so we didn't move. The room was very dingy. Thing good about the llace was the front deak lady who helped us fix the tv that also wasn't working. She she also showed me the texts she swnt to maintenance so it wasn't her fault. Even the pool needed to be cleaned.

There was nobody at the desk when I arrived and I waited quite a while. I was just dialing the phone to call when someone came from out back. Each time I walked through the lobby the desk was unattended. No hot beverage available in the room. Room was clean enough but obvious wear and tear. Parking lot was not safe to walk, cracks and uneven terrain.

The staff here are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the complimentary toiletries are very nice. The place needs quite a bit of updating in general but specifically in the rooms and hallways. It’s was a bit damp everywhere and you could smell it until we turned on the very old AC and then it dried it out. Oh and the phone and alarm clock in our room were basically just props and didn’t work and the carpets need some deep cleaning. The location is excellent and right across from the Village and conveniently next to a Diner and gas station as well as right off of 95. So that’s really the selling point of this Motel. I’m not sure if I would repeat a stay here though.

This is not a luxury resort which is perfectly fine. Good place to lay your head at night. Charming diner attached to building. Why would you complain about not getting day old pastry in the morning when you could get a variety of things in a spacious restaurant. Some people will complain about anything. Good water pressure, nice pillows. Balconies overlooking the parking lot. Manage your expectations and you’ll be fine.
