A quiet yet convenient location..
Drivers appreciate the hotel's location, noting the hotel is easily accessible from I-95 and within a a few minutes' drive of many area attractions, including the Mystic Aquarium and Seaport, the USS Nautilus Submarine Force Museum in Groton, and the beaches of New London.

Great beds and breakfast..
Guests generally describe the rooms as very clean and well maintained, with comfortable beds. Many are happy to report a very quiet night, despite the nearby freeway, and also enjoy waking up to the complimentary breakfast buffet. The hot and cold options include eggs, sausage, cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastries, and much more. There is plenty of seating, and the cheerful wait staff work diligently to keep supply in step with demand.

Where there's smoke..
Several guests were disappointed by cigarette odor in the hallways, or else found it wafting into their non-smoking rooms from the designated smoking area outside.
negative:
A little behind the times..
Guests often note that the building is older and the general impression seems to be that, despite the best efforts of housekeeping and maintenance, the rooms are a bit time-worn, with dated furnishings and some general "wear and tear" throughout.
negative:
A few bad eggs..
Though many guests find something to like at the complimentary breakfast, some do depart hungry, citing concerns with the quality or variety. A few others have found the staff struggling to keep up with demand during "prime time".
