Travel tips
If your plans include Foxwoods, confirm shuttle timing in advance so you can rely on the included transportation rather than driving. The property is well placed for day trips to Mystic (Aquarium and Seaport are roughly 9–11 km away), and nearby wineries like Stonington Vineyards and Jonathan Edwards Winery are even closer. If you’ll be moving around beyond Foxwoods, ask about the hotel’s local transportation option and fees before arrival.
What guests say
Reviews commonly highlight friendly staff and a location that works well for nearby attractions, with some guests feeling it’s a reasonable value for the price. Several comments point to the property feeling unconventional in layout, as if adapted from a different original use. Breakfast is generally described as basic continental fare rather than a full spread. Negative themes include maintenance or plumbing issues (notably water pressure and hot/cold water behavior), while transportation to the casino is a standout positive for some guests.
