Run down, gap in the door even when locked. Person above us stomped around and dropped things on the floor until 4am. Breakfast was just coffee. Beds had plastic shee mattress barrier, pillows sucked, and bed was old.

Exceeded expectations for the price

Great deal for a Saturday night. GF and I went to a show at Foxwoods and stayed here. The room was very clean and the window view was very pleasant while laying in bed. Microwave and fridge were awesome. My only complaint is that the bed was not that comfortable but we would stay here again given the affordable price.
