I stayed here on a business trip. For some reason, I was given a handicap room even though there appeared to be plenty of regular rooms available...but that was fine with me...nothing different than a regular room other than bathroom accessible features for the handicapped. I stayed for a week and the only "complaint" I might have is some noisy neighbors one night - not unusual for an establishment like this. Reasonably clean motel and rooms. Outback Steakhouse is on the same property, which was nice. There is also a outdoor shopping mall right next door with a Chilis(?) and an all-you-can-eat Chinese Restaurant. Neither seemed to be exceptionally clean though - especially the Chinese place. There's a Guitar Center in the mall, grocery store, hair salon, and a Subway sandwich place inside the Grocery store. Here's my thing, the Holiday Inn is what it is...your average Holiday Inn, but I guess I'm spoiled by living in the Midwest. I don't know what the crime rate is in New London but there seems to be an awful lot of security and shoplifting prevention tactics employed in the area. While I did meet some very nice people in New London, overall, the "unfriendliness" of the locals was disturbing and the overall area seems to be a bit depressed and dirty. Anyway, I had a decent stay with no problems and would stay at this motel again if passing through or on business.
