Booked this hotel on a whim for a last second getaway to the Connecticut casinos. I thought the hotel was decent for the money. Clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly staff. Very convenient to the highway, casinos, and nearby shops and restaurants. Our room did not have PPV, which was a bit of a drag, but did get many cable television stations...more than most other hotels.

I would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night in April. We had tickets to see a concert at the Mohegan Sun and that hotel was sold out. The Holiday Inn is right on I95. Unfortunately, they did not have a non smoking king size room available. But we took it anyway as several hotels in the area were already sold out. This hotel and a few others nearby have a shuttle service to the Mohegan Sun. It cost about $22.00, but they give you a coupon for $10 to gamble and a free buffet/or $10 off another restaurant. It was our first time to the Mohegan Sun and as the shuttle was entering flashing signs indicated that 2 parking lots were already full - we were glad that we didn't have to worry about finding parking. We were able to have a few drinks and not worry about driving as the shuttle was door to door service. The following morning the staff at the Holiday Inn restaurant were great! It's not an elegant hotel, but I would recommend it because the staff were great and it is really convenient.

The first clue should have been that it was next to the highway. The second clue should have been the nasty smell in the entrance when we walked in. And yet again, the 3rd clue......the staff. Nasty and discontent can't even come close to describing these people. From the first person we encountered to the last when we checked out, none too soon by the way.
The breakfast was cold, the eggs that I ordered over medium were hard and cold, the coffee was old and tasted like dirt.
The rooms were clean, but the hallway smelled like a mold factory and the fridge and the bathroom were both moldy.
Never again will I stop and spend the night at a highway motel.

I attended a meeting at the Holiday Inn in New London last week and was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and the food was nicely displayed. It was a half day meeting so I did not stay over, but it is next to a shopping plaza and they have plenty of parking (free) as well as a pool. The staff was friendly and I plan to take my family back this summer.
