Good location for accessing downtown Mystic. The check in process was easy. The rooms were quiet and I had a good nights sleep. That being said, everything is pretty dirty. Not just dated. The carpet is dirty throughout place. The entrance is unkempt. The bathroom floor was sticky. The tub was dirty.

Decent hotel

I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews about this hotel - it is perfectly fine! It is a budget hotel which obviously needs some renovation, but it is comfortable, clean and the staff are friendly. We stayed in room 109.

Convenient and safe not only OK

The staff was great, but the hotel is showing its age. Many things in the room were missing (coffee maker, hair dryer) or broken (lampshade, bathtub). Cleanliness needs attention as well. It is easy on/easy off the highway and is near some nice destinations (Olde Mystic Village & the aquarium).
