Not bad for the price

The rooms are a decent size. I had 2 Queen beds. There was a full sized refrigerator and a microwave in the room. There is free coffee in the lobby from 7-10am.

Run down, gap in the door even when locked. Person above us stomped around and dropped things on the floor until 4am. Breakfast was just coffee. Beds had plastic shee mattress barrier, pillows sucked, and bed was old.

Exceeded expectations for the price

Great deal for a Saturday night. GF and I went to a show at Foxwoods and stayed here. The room was very clean and the window view was very pleasant while laying in bed. Microwave and fridge were awesome. My only complaint is that the bed was not that comfortable but we would stay here again given the affordable price.

Excellent Stay

Good experience. Actually better than I expected. Clean, comfortable, and neat. The fridge was a slim 5 foot one with a freezer and a decent size microwave. Those 2 things are a bonus and both in immaculate condition. The sheets were clean and the bed was made up nice. Bathroom was also clean. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was that the ‘bathroom sink’ is placed outside of the bathroom close to the microwave and counter which was weird to me.
