Friendly service and an unbeatable rate at this hotel near the casinos

Many of the area attractions are nearby, including the Mystic Seaport where the Museum of America and the Seas is always enlightening. Olde Mistick Village is also within 15 minutes of the hotel, with shops and restaurants presented in a fun, historical light. The Flagship Inn and Suites is near several restaurants and invites guests to use the on-site fitness center.Highlights
- Near USS Submarine base

Stay close to the action without breaking the bank at this comfortable and convenient hotel. Located just a short way off of Interstate 95 at exit 88, the Flagship Inn and Suites is within 15 minutes of attractions in Mystic, area casinos, U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College. Spend the day browsing the shops in Olde Mistick Village or take the kids to the Mystic Aquarium for a fascinating look at life under the waves. The Museum of America and the Sea can teach the whole family about our relationship to the ocean from atop the waves.
For a bit of glitz and glamour head out to nearby Foxwoods Resort and Casino or Mohegan Sun. Shopping, dining, gaming, theater, and more, these two have it all.

Convenient Location
Asked for an iron, and then had to go back to the front desk when we could not find an ironing board in the room. It was obvious a previous guest had used the carpet as an ironing board. The room was clean though, with a microwave and fridge, and it is an easy 20 minute drive to Mohegan, Foxwoods, Mystic.

Would never stay again
The front desk staff could not locate my reservation for a long time, made me feel like I was checking into a hotel with hourly rates!! Room was not very clean and bed very uncomfortable - did not get any sleep. Would not stay there again or recommend it for anyone even though the rate for the room was very reasonable....

Birthday Romantic Getaway
Our stay was very cozy, the room was clean and spacious. The hotel was near everything - in the middle of Foxwoods and Mohegun Sun. The price was reasonable and I would definately stay there again.

I will never return here.
We stopped in on our way to Maine and requested a no smoking room. When we got to the room, it reeked but apparently was the last room they had. The bathroom had mold around the told of the shower and when you got out, the carpet actually made your feet black. They were not very helpful or gracious and no courtesy was afforded to us. The brochure said continental breakfast included, but none was to be seen. We left as early as possible since the air in the room gave my wife and kids each headaches.

The okay place to stay
It was kind of tricky to get to road hotel was on - needed to drive through a mall parking lot to come out at the needed light -Hotel was quiet and clean - convenient to where we were going - continental breakfast left something to be desired -conisted of a tiny area next to where you check-in - had coffee and juice machines and small donuts and bagels - had to take it back to room or stand there and eat which put you in the way of the next person

DO NOT STAY HERE!!
Two of my girlfriends and I chose this hotel because it was only a 10 minute drive to the Block Island ferry and cheap. We checked in, went into our room and another friend of ours who lives close by met us there to go out to dinner. A minute after she walked in, the hotel room phone rang and it was the owner of the hotel. Apparently he thought we were trying to sneak someone else in without paying. I politely tried to explain to him that this other friend wasn't staying in the hotel, but he shouted over me and kicked us all out! Then he refused to give us our money back when we had only been in the hotel 15 minutes and paid for two nights! I had to call the local authorities and [...] he finally agreed to give us HALF of our money back. Cheap price, but SO NOT WORTH IT!
