Travel tips
If you want to be near restaurants, shops, or town activities, Downtown Putnam CT is roughly 1 mile away. Plan your own breakfast, as guest feedback indicates no breakfast service on-site. Pricing may rise during major local events (such as race weekends), so booking early can help avoid event-driven rate spikes.
What guests say
Reviews frequently mention friendly, responsive staff as a consistent positive. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: some guests report very clean rooms, while others describe strong odors and maintenance issues. Room size—especially very small bathrooms—comes up as a drawback. Value is also mixed, with some guests pleased with the price while others note rates increasing sharply during local events and dissatisfaction with the overall condition for the cost.
