We have stayed here before. It is an older facility that has not really been significantly updated but it is very clean, hot shower, comfortable bed. We had a king bed non smoking room. The bed was in its own room and outside the room was a large sitting area and kitchenette with full size refrigerator! All very clean.

Spacious, comfortable accommodation, albeit a little dated and in need of some upkeep. Located in a quiet area of the Connecticut shoreline in easy reach of Mystic and Groton. We took the opportunity to tour "The Nautilus and Mystic Aquarium. We spent a week and would return.

Seems hotels in Groton can ask for premium prices for hotels that are in bad shape. Peeling wallpaper, ceilings with water damage, blankets with holes, old linens, carpets with stains, etc. the kitchen area was rusty. I have an upcoming return visit and have booked a VRBO instead of a local hotel.

From outward appearance it seems like a hole in the wall. But upon further inspection itbis a spacious yet cozy room with all the amenities we have been looking for.

You get what you pay for. This is no frills. Staff was not friendly at check in. Just your basic room with a spacious (but unnecessary) sitting area. The bathroom is small but ok, but found a dead bug on the floor. The AC worked well and the bed was comfortable enough. It’s located about 30 minutes to the RI beach which was what we were in the area to enjoy. This room met our basic need for a place to stay at night while we enjoyed our beach time.
