Pretty gross
The only saving grace was that the bed was very comfortable. The room and rest of the hotel are in shambles. Disgusting out dated appliances that were all broken in some way. and a laughable excuse of a whirlpool tub. It’s a shame because the property has a lot of potential with the suite being huge with a balcony but so gross that you don’t really want to touch anything. I’m glad it was only a night.

Room was nice large. Property in poor condition. Paint coming off walls. Ceiling tiles water stained. Holes in sheets. Towels were washed but stained. No coffee. Could be a really nice place again with a little work.

If you want to go to the casino and want inexpensive worth it. But this was our 1 year annivsrsary. First impression outside was ok tape on on screen quick fix. When entering the room smelled like fish. Had to go to walmart to get sent things. Oven unusable many lights unusable holes in walls windows do not work if you try to use them good luck. Carpets had wet spots. Shower curtain rod falling down. And closets unusable. These are not suites its a quick stay. Glad we were only in there to sleep a few hours and left. Spend the extra bucks for a more up to date place.

The property is so worn down. The whole thing is sketchy and I felt unsafe. The door didn’t even latch all the way, and no one was ever at the front desk. There were so many spiders too. And stains on all of the towels and sheets.

Girl at the desk is very nice. I’ve stayed here 3 times everything was clean except this time the room didn’t look like it was even cleaned. I would definitely still stay here again. The place is old and definitely needs to be updated, but the important thing is there are no roaches or bedbugs. Stay away from RedRoof and Clarion in New London..

Bhumi checked us in and was so kind. The room was huge, clean, and inviting. It was like a little apartment! I'll definitely book there next time I go up to the casinos!

We had a very pleasant stay. If I'd known the room would be that nice, I'd have planned to spend more time in it.
