A basic but clean hotel close to the airport. Although close to the airport it is difficult to get there - either a 18 min walk or a taxi or uber. Staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient.

Convenient and functional for transit

Convenient for overnight stay near airport for early flight, friendly staff. But getting to airport was a problem - tunnel looked unsafe in the dark and gates only open at 5am, we ended up calling an Uber.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with the heavy luggage to the second floor, because there is no elevator. It is a very safe hotel near the airport for if you arrive in the evening, so you don't have to drive at night.

My overnight at Road Lodge CT Airport.

Due to last minute flight changes I needed to stay over in CT. I had to make a late booking which went very smoothly. Well-received by friendly staff and good food in restaurant at very reasonable prices. Room more than adequate for an overnight stay.
