Mystic Adventure.

The best part of this hotel is location and the nice staff. Very close to the attractions in Mystic. But, it's very old and not the cleanest(odd odors abound, too). They also have minimal accommodations. But, for a short stay, it does it's job and we still rested well here.

Disappointed

This will be the last time for this hotel. We have always stayed at Howard Johnsons but very disappointed this time. When we first arrived the room was very hot and smelled like cigarette smoke in the non Smoking room so we went and bought air fresheners. The ac had a very hard time cooling down the room. The toilet handle had to be held down to flush sometimes and the toilet kept running. The refrigerator froze everything. The mattress felt worn out.The hall way.was very hot and humid even at night. The hotel didn't have any maps of mystic like they used to. They removed the coffee pots they used to have in the room. I use to be able to hold the room with a credit card and pay cash when we checked out but they don't accept cash anymore. I have never left a bad review before this.

Worst. Place. Ever.

Terrible experience across the board. Hotel not even close to as advertised. Filthy, unsafe, no assistance to be found on premise, as a sign was left at front desk to just “check yourself out” if need be. We opened the room door and left immediately after. Will never go back again. Hotels.com shouldn’t even associate their name with this establishment and the hotels.com team has yet to provide any assistance also.
