Party Hotel

Our stay was nice except for the fact that on Saturday night the entire hotel was filled with partiers going back and forth to a nearby casino, drinking, running up and down the halls screaming, and moving their festivities from one room to another all night long. I will never book at this hotel again.

Great hotel

This was a newer hotel and everything was excellent except the bathroom exhaust fan did not work. Breakfast was good and not crowded, the hotel was spotless inside and out. Very friendly staff!

Not bad, not that good.

For a "business-oriented" hotel, the room was poorly equipped - almost no outlets near desk, crummy chair, cramped, poorly laid out. Rooms and halls could use a little more maintenance, but it was clean and quiet, and the staff was helpful.

Great hotel. Personnel very friendly.

We attended a funeral of a dear friend. Can't think of anything that was missing. This was a very good experience.

nice free shuttle to area shops and restaurants. If you don't see it you need to ask, like water and snacks, but there is no reference to this information

Good location

My husband and I went to see a concert and to do a little gambling at Mohegan Sun. The hotel was just a short distance away. The room was small, but very clean. The beds were VERY comfortable with the most AWESOME pillows in the world.

Unclean sheets

I have already formally submitted this complaint. The sheets on the bed had a foul, musty smell and one day after I checked out I had a mildly serious skin condition as a result. It requires a prescription drug. Despite this unfortunate circumstance, our service was good, and the hotel appeared to be clean.

Clean, no frills

Location was odd. Make sure you go to the very top of hill to find the hotel. Signs are vague and road leads to the front of a separate business building which is misleading. The hotel was clean, friendly staff but busy. The room was very small. The chair and table were inches away from the bed. There were no suitcase stands in the room and really no room to keep your suitcase open except on the bed. :( Suitcases had to be stored by the bathroom which was very small. No room in hall closet to put suitcases. It was very small. Over all it was a small but clean room.
