Cool Old Building Turned into Hotel. Worth a stay.
Really cool 200 year old building made into a hotel. Good easy parking. Close to Casinos. Clean. Friendly staff. I would have given 5 star for all but we had no pillow cases on the pillows although they promptly brought them to us and the bed was hard a s a rock. I like a comfortable mattress.

Would stay short term again.
Room was clean and looked new. Room was plain. Only table on one side of bed. Really need nightstand in either side. Bathroom has Pedestal sink so no room to put out toothbrush or anything. Tub was very slippery so you need to be careful of that. Bed was very hard, but ended up actually pretty comfortable even though it was hard. Would definitely stay there again for a night or two but not more than that. I need to have a little more Table room And bathroom area to put my essentials. But it was very nice and very clean and the staff was very good.

OK for sleeping, not much else
Disappointing. Although located near the city center, this hotel had nothing interesting within walking distance—for instance, no cafe or breakfast place. The building was nice and was kept up well, but our room wasn't comfortable. The main things worked: a good bed, working TV and Internet, a fast elevator. But the list of things that didn't work is long: inadequate lighting, electric sockets that failed, a coffee maker that filled a cup only part way, etc. There was no chair in the room, and the lobby was so cold that I needed to wear a coat to sit there. Also, I saw people come to check in or out when no staff was at the desk for 15 minutes or so.

Great place to stay if you do not want to stay at the pricey hotels in the casinos. Only a 10 minute car ride to Mohegan Sun. The building is beautiful and the room bed was very comfortable. The only thing is it's an old building so you can hear your next door neighbors conversations or them snoring at night. Our initial room bathroom was not cleaned very well but staff quickly changed our room, and the other room was great. Great place for a quick stay.

Nice, clean, but NOISY!!!!!
As far as the hotel goes, it was very clean and comfortable. Perfect for just resting my head after attending a concert at the arena. I was a bit shocked to find an abandoned YMCA directly across the street, so that unsettled me a bit as a woman traveling alone (I did meet up with friends at the hotel, otherwise I wouldn’t really have felt safe leaving the hotel or walking from the parking lot at night by myself). The other issue was the hotel is ZERO sound-proofed. I heard every conversation in every room and hallway within ear shot of my room ALL NIGHT! I had a three hour ride home the next day, and really needed some sleep, but that was really impossible.

The room was extremely small. Very basic furniture. I guess for one night it was ok but I probably will not stay here again. We could hear visitors talking. The walls are very thin. If you can, pay the extra for a normal “hotel” feel. The room needs a bureau and long mirror.

Very nice staff and very clean rooms. Beds were comfortable. If you are looking for a nice clean room with very welcoming staff. This is an awesome choice. You aren’t going to be walking anywhere for dinner or drinks but for just a nice clean comfortable room, this is a good choice. About a 10 minute drive to either one of the casinos

Great option, if you are planning for a get away weekend or visiting the casino, You will find great restaurants in the area, around the hotel we can walk safely and there is plenty of free parking spaces.

This hotel is a basic as you can get. Beautiful building but it has been cheaply renovated. It was close to Mohegan sun (10min drive) so it served a purpose for us but the furniture in the bedroom is cheap, bare bones room and due to the lack of noise absorbing extras like rugs and curtains, you can hear all the other rooms and the corridors. The front desk staff aren’t very helpful, saying Mohegan sun was a 30min drive and also couldn’t provide me with a light bulb for one of the only two lamps that didn’t work in my room. The elevator stopped working. There is a vending machine on one of the floors but no real food served and nowhere close by to get breakfast. Honestly- if it’s cheap and you just need somewhere to rest your head then it was OK. Would I recommend to friends? Not really.
