Team member who checked me in was kind, helpful, and was sure to point out safety considerations since I checked in solo later in the evening. Property is standard, no frills, but super clean! Great for work travel.

Room was clean. Could use better lighting in the bathroom. A/C worked well. Good security. Hallway carpets were worn and smelled like cigarette smoke.

Location to mystic lake amphitheater is great and a bonus, rooms are dated and overpriced on event nights so be aware. Full kitchens but nothing I mean nothing supplied to use it.

So the best part was that it was so close to the amphitheater... literally a 2 minute drive. Kind of hard to get onto the property. Parking was tight. Decor is severely outdated and hallway carpet needed replacing. I am sure housekeeping does their best with what they have to work with. My room smelled a little funky, like mildo, but nothing was obviously dirty. Looked clean. Bathroom was clean as well. The bed was very comfortable... slept like a baby. Oh, and no elevator for access to 2nd floor. That didn't bother me at all since I am fit and capable of climbing stairs. Overall, it wasn't the best option, but I would stay there again because of the convenience when attending concerts. Iron Maiden and Megadeth 🤘

Stench of cigarettes immediately entering the hotel. Although our room was non-smokong, it still smelled like an ashtray. Bedding was stained and dirty. The sofa in the room was just as stained and dirty. Staff was friendly.

The front desk clerk was very friendly. Room was large, with a big sitting area and a kitchen area. Sparse decor. Handle fell off the bathroom door and the double lock was missing on room door. Room definitely needs to be updated. Bed was comfortable pillows were not. Quiet at night. Overall it was fine for a one night stay.

Hotel seems clean on the outside. It had a pungent odour when walking inside. Room was very dirty and could tell had been patched up numerous times. Room also smelled very musty. Beds were very hard and small for the queen we had. Deadbolt didn’t latch because the door had shifted.Concert was going on down the road so they were sold out and we couldn’t switch rooms. We left immediately and found a different hotel. Saying all this, front desk worker was very friendly.

The staff was friendly enough, however I was not pleased with the condition of my room. It didn’t smell fresh. It was not clean. The door jams were all dirty. I don’t know what it was on the door jams, but it looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. The refrigerator was noisy and kept waking me up during the night. The TV wasn’t working even though someone at the head desk had to call The I guess the cable provider it still wasn’t working. Parking was good. It was just right outside the room. A positive was that the hotel is within walking distance of the amphitheater, which made it convenient, but having said that, I would not stay at this location again.
