The property was fine. Just a standard Holiday Inn. The hot breakfast was wonderful. The indoor pool was absolutely terrible. It was small, freezing and had the most slippery tile floor I’ve ever encountered. All 3 of my kids slipped while walking and my son split his face open with his fall. The manager even warned us before we went in. They really need to do something about it.

We waited at least 10 minutes at the desk before we saw an employee. He was very friendly and helpful but we were starting to think no one was working. Breakfast was good, room was nice. My sister accidentally almost walked into an employee. She apologized and that employee, who may have been a manager (only one with a jacke on) proceeded to mock her and make faces, not knowing others could see what she was doing. She them got in the elevatot with us ad proceded to stare down my sister like she wanted to stab her. It was un-nerving. VERY inprofessional, and insafe feeling!

Staff was great, property was clean, nice variety of food for breakfast. Only negative was being able to hear everyone outside of the room in the hallways and even on the upper level. Also a negative was the shower curtain not fully covering the shower and bathroom floor getting wet. Overall it was a nice place to stay

We had been in this hotel before because of its location, and free parking, but it had changed since no longer has a hot tub and the small pool gets crowded with unattended children.

Bed was super comfortable, a nice amount of space in the room, nice front desk staff, breakfast was plentiful and good. I appreciated how close hotel was to Olde Mystic, it is down a fairly steep hill but we walked it easily. We enjoyed dinner at Jealous Monk, pretty outside seating and friendly waitstaff.
