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.

The hotel staff was very accommodating, and the room was clean and spacious. The downside is the lighting in the room was not ideal - two small basement-style windows for natural light and no overhead lighting. The bathroom was not lit well at all -- you could barely see yourself in the mirror. The staff was nice to bring a light, ironing board and iron. There also was no closet at all in the room. And while there was a kitchenette, there were no supplies. Lastly, the elevator wreaks of mildew - I had a 20 minute coughing spell every time we used it.

The bedroom was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The elevator had a really moldy smell. The security was lax. Anyone could enter the building late at night.

Old mansion converted into a hotel. Clean and quiet, but the rooms are very small and the bathroom sink took a long time to drain. Very friendly staff. Would definitely stay there again for an event at Mohegan Sun Arena!

The Shining
This hotel is in the scariest area I’ve ever seen. While newly renovated, the elevator stinks like mold, the wall-mounted air conditioning unit screeched so badly we couldn’t use it, the whole building is creepy and the neighborhood is terrifying. I literally took valuables from the car in case it was stolen and texted family to let them know my last known location in case I went missing.

Odd place. Looked like dorm furniture. Not inviting at all. Couldn’t figure out which door to use to get into the place until someone came to the door. There must have been cameras to see people at the doors. No locks on outside doors. Quite expensive for no amenities. Won’t stay there again and won’t recommend.

Not really portrayed well!
When arriving it was not possible to enter through the front door which was odd. Upon entering, the hotel seemed unoccupied which gave us an uneasy feeling. The front desk clerk told us the room was really small and asked if we wanted to see it first which also felt odd. It was much smaller than it appeared online. The hotel also appeared to be in an unsafe neighborhood and somewhat isolated. We decided not to stay and were not allowed a refund.
