This hotel is a basic as you can get. Beautiful building but it has been cheaply renovated. It was close to Mohegan sun (10min drive) so it served a purpose for us but the furniture in the bedroom is cheap, bare bones room and due to the lack of noise absorbing extras like rugs and curtains, you can hear all the other rooms and the corridors. The front desk staff aren’t very helpful, saying Mohegan sun was a 30min drive and also couldn’t provide me with a light bulb for one of the only two lamps that didn’t work in my room. The elevator stopped working. There is a vending machine on one of the floors but no real food served and nowhere close by to get breakfast. Honestly- if it’s cheap and you just need somewhere to rest your head then it was OK. Would I recommend to friends? Not really.

So….. it seemed like a great find, a “family room” for 500 bucks on a Saturday near Foxwoods. What it became was a realization that there is a reason I am a Marriott Ambassador and cannot trust independently owned hotels in Connecticut. Trust me I have stayed at beautiful independently owned hotels across the globe, just not CT. Here are my notes for those looking to stay here and reserve the elusive “family room” - The family room is two 1 bed rooms connecting by a door. It’s terrible. - The hotel has hardly any sound proofing. I take it is due to the fact it was an Elks lodge prior and no one gives a crap what noises come from an elk lodge. - Check in was simple, but there was no explanation of anything. After further review, the owner, who was photographed in a press release was the one who checked us in. Well done sir, perhaps “two bottles of Poland springs water” is sufficient to get some people’s juices flowing, but I’d like a little foreplay before I get charged 550 for a night. - Rooms were fine but and this is a BIG BUT. The beds were TERRIBLE. And forgive me if I am wrong, but the idea is to sleep at a hotel and I am pretty sure that is what I was paying for. The beds were THE HARDEST beds I have ever hardly slept on. Not even joking and I have an orthopedic extra firm bed at home!!!! If you like soft beds you should buy 40 pillows at Walmart and sleep on the street! You may get wet but you will save 300 bucks of the rack rate!!!!

The property is charming and eclectic. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. A microwave would be a great addition. The neighborhood is off putting but once inside we felt safe. The entire city of Norwich, at least the end we were on was more urban and ghetto than we were expecting.

Pro’s: Distance to Mohegan Sun and cleanliness. Con’s: The room was a shoebox with the only windows being small and too high to look out of which made it more claustrophobic. Each room has a name and our’s was “ Cozy.” The hallways are dark and narrow. The elevator broke down while we were checking in downstairs. The whole place was kind of eerie.

Nice, but not for short people
The front desk was wonderful. The only issue I had was with the room itself. First, there was no table or chair. I had to eat downstairs. I know the room is small, but a folding table and chair could be easily added. Not comfortable if you have to stay long term. Second, laugh if you want, but I am a person of short stature (I am 5'1"). I couldn't get into the bed easily. I had to climb and pull myself up. If you have a disability, are short, or a little person, this could be very uncomfortable. The beds are super high.

We stayed here since we were attending an event at Mohegan Sun. It was a quick 10 minute drive. We took a Uber to the arena and there was always a car available. The hotel was very clean and we felt safe during our stay. The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. My only complaint would be that you can hear a lot of movement from the hallway and surrounding rooms, but it wasn’t unbearable. However, it was very quiet during the night. Overall, our stay was great and we would stay again in the future!

Exactly what we were looking for.
We needed a place to stay for an overnight trip and this place was great. The room was new and clean. The staff was helpful and called ahead to inform us of an issue they were having with the elevator and to ask if we needed any special accommodations because of it. Checking in and out was easy as well. I’ll be staying there next time I’m in the area.

Quick trip to Mohegan Sun-area!
Check-in was very quick! The room was immaculately clean (but a little small), and more lighting in the room would have been nice. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. (Offering some kind of breakfast would be a definite plus going forward.) WiFi worked impeccably! I would stay here again - good, competitive price for the area.
