Good location, great price

Great cost effective place to stay close to Mohegan Sun! Uber was inexpensive to and from the concert. Room was spacious and had a fridge. Bed was comfy enough. Our only issue was the little window unit ac never got it quite cold enough for our preference, but it did cool it down enough to sleep.

Simple but clean

The owner was super friendly. The room was good size, but very basic. I think it was a little pricey for what we got, but overall it was a nice place and I would go back !

Stayed here for two nights while spending a weekend at the casino. It’s close to Mohegan Sun, only about 12 minutes away and saved me a lot of money. 24 hour mini mart next door too. The husband and wife (owners?) were really kind and friendly. It was quiet, the room was clean, fridge and microwave. It was a great deal and I would definitely stay here again next time I go to the casino overnight rather than pay full weekend rate at the casino which is like $500-600 a night.

Overpriced with no functioning ac

This is an old motel. The room was clean. It was very hot because the air-conditioning unit was on but was not removing any moisture from the air. As a result, the room was like a sauna. The windows cannot be opened. The bathroom is extremely small with no shelving for toiletries and no shelving in the shower for shampoo etc. This motel is overpriced.

The shower was too gross to use, there was hair all over the mattress, and the tv was not working and the staff could not fix it and told me “I don’t know what to tell you”. We put the room key in the drop box and left at 11:00 pm and didn’t even bother staying the night in the motel.

For the price compared to other lodging in the area this this a great value. The staff was very helpful, nice and welcoming. And it’s location is very convenient to Mohegan Sun Casino (15 min drive). Having said that, the motel has its shortcomings. To start, the room was dirty. We dropped a hand towel on the floor and when we picked it up it was filthy. The shower still had hair in it from the last people who stayed there. And the bedding was so uncomfortable that my wife and I went to Target and bought a new blanket and set of sheets. Additionally, the rooms were not sound proof.. We will leave that one at that. I would not recommend this lodge as a family stay, but if you are going to Mohegan for the night/weekend it is comfortable enough. I would recommend bringing your own blankets and pillows for comfort.
