10/10 Exceptional

Hotel attractions and town, was located very close to attractions and town, Very pleasant experience in a quaint fun town.
Charlene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lots of charm and character

Beautiful old, charming building in a great location! Expect all the delights, quirks, and character of staying in a building on the National Register of Historic Places. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was able to keep up with a 95 degree day. We really enjoyed our stay!

8/10 Very good

Not bad

We liked staying at the hotel it could use some updates, but other than that it wasn’t hard we liked our room and I like that we could sit outside. Only thing we didn’t like was that it needed to be updated so I can look cleaner.
Kim, 3-night trip

Anthony, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was the worst we have stayed at in years, and we travel fairly frequently. The hotel had multiple spiders living in a dirty bathroom, broken lights/switches, a stained floor, and terrible odor. The only positive was that we didn’t get bedbugs.

2/10 Poor

Pay more to stay elsewhere.

This place really needs an update. The lamp in our room was broken, the shower was moldy, and the condition of the doors and locks were creepy. My kids had a hard time falling asleep because they said they were so scared. There were sounds all night long like construction vehicles coming and going.

Stay away

This was one of the worst hotels I have ever seen. There was mold in the shower. The air conditioner did not work. The hotel and grounds smelled of marijuana and we did not feel safe. We did not stay the night. We asked the person at the front desk for a refund before leaving and did not get one.

6/10 Good

It was quiet.. Place looks like its at beginning of a remodeling
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The shower in our room was caulked horribly. There was mold. The bathroom faucet was loose. The room had a faint smell of cigarettes. The pool area was almost suffocating. It was so hot. And one night I tried for an hour to get a hold of the front desk before someone answered.
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Mediocre

The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. The hallway our room was in smelled like a dirty diaper all three days. There was no hair dryer in the room and the ironing board was broken. Housekeeping got us an ironing board from another room. I had my own hair dryer.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff. Very economical. Property is in the process of up dating.
Jason, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is very outdated. I felt like it was not the cleanest place. Expensive. The same price as nicer hotels. The only reason we picked that one was because it was off the highway and easy to get on the road to go home. I will never go to a Howard Johnson again. I got home and couldn't wait to get into the shower.
Aline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good basic accommodations.
Ralph, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The world's worst motel

This is a terrible facility. The ice machine on our floor didn't work. The water fountain in the lobby didn't work. The shower curtain rod in the bathroom was bent almost in a U shape. There was a pervasive smell of cleaning fluids. The bath towels weren't even long enough to wrap around you. Need I go on?
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Under new management and they were very helpful, polite, and seem to be moving the hotel in a great direction. The building, rooms and pool were all updated since last time I was there a few years ago and the hotel itself is in a perfect location. I highly recommend staying here.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine for the price!
Rebecca, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Spacious room but rundown hotel

We stayed here because of the price for a family of 4, and because it was so close to the village (which is not worth it). The room is a good size, but everything is very old, poorly maintained, and run down. It must have been nice decades ago, but apparently the owner didn't want to invest in the place anymore and it was abandoned many years ago. Everything needs to be renovated - simply everything. There is no breakfast, but there is a very large diner next door with good food. Walking distance to the old village (which we didn't like) and the Aquarium (excellent). However, you will need a car to go to Mystic downtown if you want to go sightseeing and eat at the best restaurants. Be careful, you can hear people talking in the next room, and you will be able to tell what they are watching on the TV next door.
Alexandre, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel was absolutely disgusting—there was rust everywhere, from the bathroom fixtures to the pool area, making everything feel dirty and neglected. The room itself was far from clean, and the pool was in such poor condition it felt unsafe. On top of that, the staff was unhelpful and downright disrespectful when we voiced our concerns. We didn’t feel comfortable staying even one more minute, so we immediately left and booked another hotel.
