The owner was especially friendly and helpful. The room was clean and attractive, just like the photo. Wish there were additional pillows and a coffee maker, but we did not view other larger rooms, so it may have just been this one. It was very satisfying to support a small business.

Stayed here for two nights while spending a weekend at the casino. It’s close to Mohegan Sun, only about 12 minutes away and saved me a lot of money. 24 hour mini mart next door too. The husband and wife (owners?) were really kind and friendly. It was quiet, the room was clean, fridge and microwave. It was a great deal and I would definitely stay here again next time I go to the casino overnight rather than pay full weekend rate at the casino which is like $500-600 a night.

Clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Classic “old school” motel vibe. Convenient to casinos nearby.

I didn’t have high expectations for a “motel by the roadside” so you could say this place surpassed my expectations! VERY CLEAN and happy with the amenities provided such as mini fridge and microwave, perfect amount of towels, basic toiletries and extra roll of toilet paper under the sink. Motel under new management- can tell there were some recent room upgrades (fresh coat of paint, new flooring, and some of the bathroom fixtures) giving a bit of a facelift to an older property. Owner is very nice and you can tell she cares a lot about making the place as pleasant as she can, given what she had to work with. The only comment is there was a slight musty odor to our room due to lots of rain that wkd but went away once we turned the heat on- oh and secondly, that I would ask her to improve to some better pillows, as these were a bit dinky for my neck preference and made for slightly uncomfortable tv watching, ha- but the choice of cable channels were good enough though for a wkd and WiFi worked great otherwise. Picked this place due to its convenient location between Mohegan Sun and New London train line while being more affordable compared to the other options closer to the casinos (that frankly most didn’t look like a whole lot more value for the absurd prices they were charging)!

Service was friendly. Everything was broken - lamp, outlet, the bathroom window had no way of latching closed, stuff like that. tiny pillows. For the area, it was a good price, as long as you don't mind the smell of cleaning solution and are physically small enough to use the bathroom. Nothing romantic but I've been in far worse. Saw no bugs or leaks.

Great cost effective place to stay close to Mohegan Sun! Uber was inexpensive to and from the concert. Room was spacious and had a fridge. Bed was comfy enough. Our only issue was the little window unit ac never got it quite cold enough for our preference, but it did cool it down enough to sleep.

It’s the overflow from the casino motel. It’s about 12 min drive to Mohegan Sun.

The owner was super friendly. The room was good size, but very basic. I think it was a little pricey for what we got, but overall it was a nice place and I would go back !
