Price was decent for the holiday weekend. Walked into the room to continuously find glass on carpet, night stand and even in the bed. I found out the glass pieces were from crack pipes.

The inside was nasty. The bed covers were dirty and there was a stain on the wall. It is undetermined on what the stain actually was; it *looked* like feces. The bed matresses had hair and dirt in them. The floor seemed as if it hadn't been washed in ages, and was incredibly dirty. It stained our socks when we stepped in it. One of the pillowcases had a green-ish stain on it that looked like mold. The vibes from the hotel were unsettling. The bathroom sink was dirty, having hair and orange stains on it. The floor was sticky. The room also had a very uncomfortable cigarrette smell, but the staff were very nice and gave us a spray to temporarily get rid of the smell. The area around the property was decent and was cared for. Overall, the place was terrible. I would not reccomend this place other than to leave your stuff in it and sleep in it overnight-- for one night only.

Place was an absolute pig sty. Holes in carpets. Outlets coming out of walls. Holes in walls. TV was digitized. Stains on carpet. Went to baseball game at Norwich SeaUnicorns and decided not to go back. Luckily took everything with us but the pesky 12pk of Baja blast. Tried to call to let them know we weren't returning...no answer. Service w dirt. Gotta love it.

The rooms are clean and fine for the price, but the outside stairs and hallways are horribly old and dirty.

You get what you pay for. The carpet between the bed and nightstand was very dirty. It’s a very dated property that is in dire need of a refresh. It was a place to sleep.

Room was absolutely the filthiest I have ever stayed in. There were holes in the wall, carpet cruddy and needed vacuumed, matresses were filthy, shower was gross. We didn't even unpack our bags to stay the night.Not to mention the unsanitary area around the motel, including trash and beer cans scattered everywhere. Definitely do not recommend this place to anyone traveling.

The room was dirty and cold. Eventually, it warmed up due to my putting the heat on. Why it had been on AC in January is a good question. I waited 25 minutes at the check in for service. The stairs walking up/down to second floor were dangerous.

After traveling 5 1/2 hours with my 83 year old mother we found out that our room was "Out of Order". She told me that because Expedia doesn't give all the information to them she was UNABLE to call us and let us know that the room wasn't available!!! We had ended up having to hunt around Groton to find another hotel paying over $100 for our stay and had to sleep double in full size beds!

This hotel was not at all what I expected. It was dirty, the front door didn’t fully close, and overall just felt sketchy and unsafe. I left after 15 minutes of being in my room. Needs more accurate pictures on the site.

This place is a dump. The smokey smell in the bedroom was outdone by the moldy one in the bathroom.

I was disgusted to see a blood stained mattress pad on my bed. I stripped the bed looking for bedbugs. Found 2 small dead ants on the mattress pad. I slept there anyway because I was exhausted! But have learned my lesson.

Cockroaches, they were in the bathroom and when I was packing up, there was 3 of them underneath my duffel bag, the building is in despair, I dont know how they're up to code on anything, I went to checkout and there was a guest at the front door smoking pretending to be staff, overall the room was not clean the fridge had a something that spilled out and was never cleaned, and the nightstand had dust and deadbugs on it, The front desk worker then argued with me on the phone over a refund and used his subpar customer service skills to make me the bad guy
