Stayed one night, 12/14. This was booked through priceline.com for $48 plus taxes/fees.

The first floor room was spacious and clean. It seemed new, or recently renovated. I visited Mohegan Sun Casino the evening during my stay, and it took about 15 minutes each way.

Nice stay; very quiet. Great breakfast and service in the lobby restaurant. There is an Outback Steakhouse sharing the same parking lot - I did not visit it, but it would be a very convenient dinner option.

Loved the free high speed internet and free telephone calls (domestic). My laptop balked at using the wireless, but there was also an ISDN plug beside the desk in the room, and it worked very well.

We came to attend a family wedding. The staff was very friendly & accommodating. We had an effortless check-in, which was a welcome relief after 10 hours on the road. And our room was quiet. And I was pleasantly surprised that they even offered free long distance- Wow!

The hotel is pretty nice in appearance, but seemed to be a bit of an older property that would be really nice with just some guest room touch-ups & preventative maintenance. The room smelled musty & damp, & had some wear-and-tear. It did overall seem clean & was well-appointed, although there was no microwave & refrigerator which seemed strange since those are pretty standard in most hotel rooms now. There was an obvious mold problem in the bathroom on the ceiling & around the tub, probably because there is no exhaust fan. And the bed linens were stained, but were clean. I can deal with a little wear-and-tear as long as the room is clean, and it did seem to be.

The moldy smell didn't seem to aggravate my son's asthma, thank goodness, but is definitely still a concern, especially in non-smoking rooms, which many guests that have allergies and/or asthma will choose to stay in. And the bed linens should still definitely be replaced when stains are not removed with normal cleaning.

We did "name your own price" on Priceline and got this hotel for $75 a night. We'd requested a king bed, nonsmoking room, 3 nights, 2 people. When we checked in, the woman repeated those requests, then searched through her computer and found us a room. She handed us our keys and gave us directions to the room.

We walked down the very long (and somewhat musty-smelling) hallway ... and found out that our room had two very small beds. Not one king bed. Not even two queens. Two teeny tiny ones instead. We headed back to the desk to ask for our king bed room, only to find out that they didn't have a king room available for our entire stay. Okay, that's understandable. But I was extremely frustrated that she didn't just SAY SO when she handed us the keys in the first place!! Why let us find out the hard way? Grrrrr.

Cons: Mold spots on bathroom ceiling -- no vent in the bathroom!! We were on the first floor, so the lack of an elevator didn't affect us personally, but we saw a family toting several bags up the stairs, looking none too thrilled. The beds are incredibly hard, and the pillows are too firm. I woke up with back and/or neck aches each morning. No free continental breakfast, as I've usually seen at Holiday Inns. Our keys didn't work the second night, so we had to go get them fixed.

Pros: AC worked great. Rooms were quiet. Housekeeping staff was very nice! Love the shampoo.

Would we stay here again? Definitely not at full price. I suppose if we got a really good deal, we might, but we'd first try bidding on other hotels/areas instead of using "2.5 stars" and "New London" in our Priceline search.

I have stayed at this hotel for the past few years. It’s clean, comfortable, and the restaurant in the hotel serves great breakfast. The staff is very hospitable. The indoor pool is clean and never crowded. Outback Steakhouse is on premises.

The reason I keep going back to this particular hotel is that they have a bus, which will take you to Mohegan Sun and back. It takes about 15 minutes to arrive at the casino. There is a fee for the bus ride, but the freebies at the casino (including free buffet) make up for the cost.

The one thing that may annoy some people is the noise of the air conditioner and heating system. If you can stand the noise of a fan, it won’t bother you.

Please feel free to email me with any questions.
