My room was clean, my bed comfy, and the staff friendly. This hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot off the highway. I slept well and enjoyed my visit with friends in Stonington.

Fair Quality for Price

Old dreary furniture, dark carpet, fair to dim lighting but generally clean. The washroom/bathroom was brighter and more friendly. No clocks in bedroom - bring your own!

Liked: Staff & service
Would be helpful if staff was more fluent in English. Happy non-smoking facility, but perfumey spray was predominant throughout. Location to Mystic Seaport was great. Parking was great. Seemed to be a safe area, just off the road. Spacious room! In-room Breakfast bar/chairs & extra sink was a plus! Made the 2-day stay convenient. Tub/toilet room was lacking towel bar and extra space. Gas/Convenience store across the street was helpful since no breakfast/snacks supplied. We would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room smelled overwhelmingly of mildew and rotten fish. There were pubic hairs on the bathroom floor, leading to the clear conclusion that this room was not even swept between guests. The refrigerator was leaking onto the carpeted floor in front of it, which explained the mildew smell, and created a fun wet spot for all to step in. I understand that this hotel room was inexpensive, and was in no way expecting the Ritz, but holes in the wall and lack of basic cleanliness was a lacking bare minimum. Gross.

Poor man's Hotel. Not for tourists.

It smelled of cigarette smoke like the rug hasn't been changed in 50 years. For a so-called suite, NO coffee pot, no hair blower it was as basic towards a flophouse as one can find. Reminds me of the old days when it was probably made for young Navy Families transferring to Groton Sub Base. Only good thing was it was quiet. If you are transferring hee it is about 1 mile from Capehart Housing where I lived in 1962.

Decent place with plenty of space, but no coffee available, workers weren't very friendly, and the place needs a good deal of work. It's worth the money and clean enough, but needs a paint job and some renewal. Definitely could offer up some coffee, too.
