I made a last minute decision to come here, and am I ever so glad I did! The staff is so sweet, and the room is like a studio apartment. Great deal for the price. The pet fee is low and the river is right outside the door and you can watch the ships go by. What a gem!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room we were shown reeked of smoke, had an uncleaned bathroom, and was more of a crummy spare bedroom than a hotel room. Everything was worn out and filthy. How this place gets any positive reviews is a mystery. The key we were given didn't work in the door. We left after five minutes and went to a real hotel.

This place has good points and bad points. It is right on the river, which I loved. Fascinating to watch the river traffic! The one staff we met was friendly and the room was clean and in reasonable condition for the price. It was lacking in some amenities. No tissues, no hand towels. A full kitchen with no paper towels or dish towels. The area seemed a bit dicey and there was only one nearby restaurant. But that restaurant - Paul's Pasta - was fantastic! So good and bad points.

For a 2 star motel this place is fine. The price for Connecticut is low so for the price it is not bad. It does have a full size stove/oven and refrigerator. No food available but some great diners with 5 minutes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I'm sure the people that work there are nice enough but I felt unsafe from the moment I saw the property. First, the hotel office was off putting, dingy and dank. There was a different phone number on the door of office to call to check in from the phone number on the website which made me uneasy.It seems like the place is used as long term rental?? The room seemed clean enough but the floor was sticky. Tiny thin pillows and no top sheet for the bed. Thin blanket that looked like it was from Walmart. I didn't even take my luggage in, I didn't even stay. I cut my vacation short and drove the four hour drive home as I couldn't afford to pay for another hotel room. Spent $233 for a room at a hotel that should NOT be advertised as a real hotel

BYO cleaning supplies
Room was not clean at all. There was a lid from a McDonalds cup on the kitchen floor when we first walked in, red solo cups under one of the beds, debris in one of the showers, and an ice pop wrapper on the floor of the bedroom. The two closets next to the bed smelled like someone treated them as a kennel for wet dogs. The tile floor felt like it had a think slime layer on it and our socks felt damp from walking on it. The top sheet on the bed had stains and we had to remove it. My girlfriend and I truly considered sleeping in the car.

Sparsely furnished but well-kept rooms. Great location but badly unkempt grounds. No coffee anywhere. Hardly worth the relatively high price.

The view with a private balcony was nice, we watched the sunset on the water. But the room was not as expected in the pictures. Super old and outdated. Small bed in what looked like an apartment.Mild odor from just age and probably smoking at one point.note horrible just didn’t smell refreshing and clean I would have rather had new furniture and look over the extra large space We did book last minute so maybe we were given what was left. Our main reason of staying was dog friendly place.
