We usually stay here when coming to Mystic, but this time was different. The lobby was freezing to start. The side door from the parking lot to the rooms was broken so anyone could get in. In our room, the toilet seat was broken and the shower was leaking. In the morning there was no coffee put out and to check out there was no one in sight. There was a note to leave keys in the box or you can call to have someone come. This was my go to place when we come, unfortunately we might have to look elsewhere.

A decent hotel. I stayed there for one night, and if I travel to that area again, I would definitely stay there again. The carpets and the room itself were clean, but there were someone’s fake nails in the nightstand next to the bed. The curtain was torn, and there was a cigarette butt left on the balcony. Overall, the room was nice and you feel safe there. They said there would be coffee in the morning, but it wasn’t available, so I went to a diner less than a minute’s walk away, where hotel guests receive a 10% discount. Everything you might need is nearby.

Front desk was never manned any time we stopped by. No coffee or tea in lobby as advertised. Our room was frigid since no one had turned the heat on. It took 18 hours for the heat to take the chill off the room. We had 2 sinks in separate locations and a tub/ shower combo . We were given 1 tiny bar of soap to use for all. We will not return to this hotel.

There was never anyone at the front desk. You had to call a number to get anyone to respond. They seemed put out that you needed any assistance. When they responded they were on personal phone calls. Beds were uncomfortable, bedding had stains on it. Towels were small and stiff, not to mention not enough for everyone staying in the room. Had to ask for towels for the pool area because there was never any in the pool area. Front lobby was freezing cold. There was never any coffee in the lobby like they stated.
