The bottom of the barrel. Not much worse.

Where do I start? Falling apart. Got to the front “desk” and the clerk was behind bullet proof glass. The smell of “curry?” Coming from the other side of the slit was nauseating. The clerk had no personality at all. Main entrance was very dirty. Sidewalk has seen better days 10 years ago. There are temporary LP gas bottles lining the sidewalk, the meter for city gas was removed it appears. Got to our room. It was bad. Very very bad. The room had been smoked in, nonsmoking room. Everything was falling apart. The sheets were dirty. The bathroom was what you would expect from a rent by the hour hotel. The bad just kept getting worse. I actually made a TIKTOK of how bad it was. If you search Grimace1969 it is my first pinned on TikTok. For the love of god, please don’t go here. I had the creepy crawlys all night. Felt like things were crawling on me.

Room was spacious but outdated. Stains on furniture. Walls need repainting. Hallways have a odd smell. Jet tub is so loud you cant use. No staff seen beside check in. Location is coneventient if wanting to visit both casinos and mystic. Price is high for the overall quality of the hotel. Needs a face lift and clean.

Liked: Room comfort

Just the basics

The place was “clean enough” and the bed was very comfortable. Pleasant scent throughout the building. However, there are zero room amenities-no coffee pot (nor any cofffe in the lobby or within walking distance) no hairdryer (although one was available at the desk) etc. But the price was less than other places.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was very large and bed was comfortable. Great value for the price we paid (had a couch, kitchenette) but the room was very, very old and needed a lot of TLC. Ceiling looked like water damage, holes in walls, carpet worn. We are not super fussy, as long as it doesn't smell and bed is comfortable. Needed a coffee maker & TV by couch to make it better - or at least coffee in lobby.

Nice but no coffee

The room was nice and clean and we were given access before check-in time. A big negative was no coffee anywhere for guests.

It's Okay for a brief stay.

The front desk called me twice the morning of my check-in to see what time I was arriving. The front desk also called me the morning of my check-out to make sure we were leaving on time, which was excessive. Also, the rooms did not have irons or ironing boards. When I contacted the front desk for them, they refused to bring it to my room and said I had to come down and collect it.
