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.

Holes in the walls and full of down-and-outers. Definitely has the ick-factor. Would be too expensive at half the price.

The man at the front desk wasn't the friendliest. There were 2 black thin worms in the bathroom. We brought it to the attention of the staff...they did nothing.
