Service was friendly. Everything was broken - lamp, outlet, the bathroom window had no way of latching closed, stuff like that. tiny pillows. For the area, it was a good price, as long as you don't mind the smell of cleaning solution and are physically small enough to use the bathroom. Nothing romantic but I've been in far worse. Saw no bugs or leaks.

Room was fine, what you would expect from a cheap motel. Not dirty just cheap. Only real problem was neighbors in two spectate rooms. Arguing and banging in the walls all night. Cops came early in the morning. After they left neighbor started banging on my door and yelling for me to open the door. Had to call the cops again.

The owner was especially friendly and helpful. The room was clean and attractive, just like the photo. Wish there were additional pillows and a coffee maker, but we did not view other larger rooms, so it may have just been this one. It was very satisfying to support a small business.

It was an average experience. The owners were nice. The bathrooms were clean; the room seemed clean at first glance. But my toddler dropped something behind the bed as he usually does even at home, I had to move it slightly and it was very dirty underneath the bed. I almost wanted to ask for a broom and sweet it myself. Other than that it was an okay experience. I liked that it was quiet and a close distance to entertainment like Foxwoods.

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.

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.
