You get what you pay for
It's older and dated, and smells a little funky, but the price was affordable for Mystic. It served its purpose.

Nice hotel near I-95 and Mystic Village
Pleased with the room. It was on second floor which I requested. No elevator but easy stairs. Room had a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ice bucket. Bathroom small but very clean and well lit. King bed was very comfortable and had two pillows. Internet connection and television with Direct Tv. Balcony with chairs if you wanted to sit outside. I did not check if they offered a minimal breakfast but there is a wonderful diner next door so plenty to eat.

Brief stay
Close to good restaurants but I would not stay again. There was a woman yelling in the halls in the middle of the night. The outside of the building does not present well. Frond desk staff polite.

Clean but Very Rundown Hotel and Property
Chose Howard Johnson for cost reasons and thought the Wyndham name added some merit to the quality. Stayed 2 nights for a local concert. Room was clean and bed very comfortable but little things in disrepair in the room and overall condition of the property was very poor. Biggest concern was the door we used to enter the building was supposed to be accessed by our room key but was broken and did not lock at all. On a positive note the Diner and Restaurant on the property was fantastic - excellent food and service, and the hotel stay did include a 10% discount there.

Do yourself a favor
The trash in the hall was never emptied all week. Requested extra towels l, never got them. There was black hair in the pool. There was blood on one of the lamps. Loud inconsiderate neighbors getting visits at all hours of the night.
On the plus side, no bugs.
Do yourself a favor, stay elsewhere.

It was convenient, right off Rt 95. It was less expensive than many motels in area, with diner within walking distance. There was plenty of parking; staff was thoughtful & courteous (moved me from a 2nd floor to 1st floor room due to my problem with stairs); it was quiet.

Dated But Well Kept
Very Very dated property. Well kept but dated. Staff was great. Location was great. Central to everything. Diner next door was amazing. If u plan on staying just know it’s not luxurious but it will do the job for a cheap stay. Didn’t get to use the indoor pool but we saw people enjoying it.

Bring your own pillows
We stay at this hotel a lot for our trips to the area casinos. It’s n this last trip I was unable to sleep due to the very uncomfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was very dirty so we did not shower. Due to the convenient location we will be staying here still for our casino trips. Just bring your own pillows!

Downhill
The howard johnson used to be a nice but affordable place to stay. It's just affordable now. The place needs repairs and the repairs that are made are quite literally just planks of wood nailed to the wall then painted. The hallways stink like mold and the carpets are clearly discolored. They are in bad need of cleaning. Porch furniture was cracked and unusable.
A visual representation of the entire place is a large fish tank in the lobby. I remember when it was a beautiful salt water tank full of vibrant fish. Last year I went and the tank was empty. This year it just had a tarp over it. Management doesn't seem to care at all, not sure if they're apathetic or incompetent. I'll never stay here again unless I hear about a change in ownership.

This place was a great price for a one night stay in Mystic. I know it’s not a 5 star hotel, but was pretty mortified with what we found. There was literally dry blood on one of our pillows and it wasn’t from us! The sink was clogged and where finding a big bug isn’t on the hotel itself, it just may the stay that much worse. The room from an overview was ok, but again to find someone else’s blood is disgusting!!! I did call the front and they came up, took the pillow and apologized. We did ask to speak to a manager and that never happened. Luckily there were 2 beds, so we definitely checked the other before utilizing it. The tv wasn’t working on and off either. Definitely not the best experience and to not have management check in on us, is not ok.
