This is the most disgraceful hotel I have ever stayed in. The outside was rundown and under “construction “. The parking lot had huge potholes making it difficult to wheel luggage. Lobby was okay. The hallways were dingy and both bathrooms in the lobby were out of order. The hallways stunk so bad of stale cigarette smoke and must that my son told me he needed nose plugs and held his nose. The carpet looked about 80 years old. Walked into the room which might have newly updated but the smell from the hallway seeped in. In the bathroom there was a strip along the tub which was moldy and dirty, spill stains on the floor (which were cleanable), hair on the walls, and a crappy paint job (didn’t cover old color, paint all over the toilet paper holder and socket covers). Fridge barely kept anything cold. Our sliding doors led out to a “patio” which was overgrown with weeds and had garbage out there. The view was off a busted, broken, falling down fence and dumpster. Definitely didn’t make me feel safe. The indoor pool was freezing cold. This place should be torn down. Absolutely disgusting

Fantastic price for this well-located hotel. Some rooms were under reconstruction, but I wasn't disturbed by any noise. It is a dated property and could use an overall refresh, which I hope is already underway. But the room was clean and comfortable, and it was nice and quiet at night.

Staff was great ... room with 2 queens and a pullout was spacious but the refrigerator didn't work staff brought us another and it was fine.The bathroom lighting was burnt out,replaced by request. The bathroom needed a total upgrade. The air conditioning was extremely loud and annoying ...had to request an iron and an ironing board as there wasn't one in the room. One wastebasket only, in bathroom.

We arrived at 9pm and nobody was at the front desk. I walked around and shouted hello for a good ten minutes before a guy came out (we had a reservation). Room was clean overall however bed sheets were stained. Walls were thin and you can hear everything. Location was great and for a last minute, one night stay it was acceptable, but I wouldn't stay again if other choices were available. Overpriced for condition is an understatement.

Old hotel with so called renovations. New floor and just accent walls painted otherwise the place is a dump.
The exterior is not as it’s shown on Expedia.

The room was clean, but there were no amenities: no hair dryer, one bar of soap (are people expected to share?) no shampoo but two little bottles of hair conditioner. Considering the price and the claim that it is a Wyndham property, this was an expensive disappointment. There was a carafe of weak coffee in the lobby in the morning.

Although the property is under renovation, there was no noise when we were in our room. Clean room! Comfy beds! Kids had the pool to themselves that was great. We were there Tuesday-Sat. Lounge chairs around pool are broken but you could sit on them. Very convenient location. Right across the street from Aquarium. Mystic Restaurant right out front, great food. They give a10% if you’re staying at the HoJo

The hotel is under construction and messy. The pool was so dirty we couldn’t go in. The hallway smelled like smoke and old garbage. Maid never came to change towels or empty trash. Shower drain backed up. We’ll never stay here again.

Clean renovated room, as previous reviews said, hotel is going through renovations. But room was clean and air conditioner worked great in room. Requested blankets at night and housekeeping was very prompt with delivery. Swimming pool was great, son had a blast swimming! Also breakfast at connected diner was good too and discount available if you show room key. All in all great stay for the price and very close to downtown Mystic and also aquarium. We definitely would stay again, great hotel for a basic stay. Room has mini fridge, which we used and a safe (we didn’t use). Also ice machine at hotel was convenient.

The hotel was clean and the staff very helpful friendly and nice . It seems like this in need of renovations but it was clean and comfortable. The location was great walking distance to a very good diner and Italian restaurant. A walk or very short drive across the street to Mystic Village. Minutes from Mystic Aquarium and Mystic seaport .

Staff was very helpful but it wasn’t a very nice or clean hotel overall. There were signs up saying forgive us while it’s being renovated but the hall I was on didn’t have work being done. Just dirty carpets and strange smell. The room didn’t smell bad but not great either. Definitely cleaner in the room than the hall and rest of the property.

The place needs to be torn down. There were stains on the bed, mold in the shower, some kind of spatter on the walls, the hallways smelled like a combination of urine and trash, we were unable to get out money back since \"we had paid in full\", therefore, we were penalized for paying in advance. Go figure. We were moved to another room which was slightly better but still not good. The beds had minimal blankets and pillows were awful. There was only 1 lamp in the room. The outside light outside our room shined into our room all night. We asked a woman (heavy set with many tatoos) if they could shut it off and she said no and to close the curtains. We already had the curtains closed but the light came through around them. The outside of the building looked nothing like the photos. Staff said this second room was renovated but it was still very poor condition. This was the worst part of our trip.

The room smelled like people smoke in it (tons of cigarette butts on the patio just outside the sliding door). I put the AC on and it helped with smell.

We stayed here for access to the pool and to visit the Aquarium the next day. For the $ this place's pool is better than the Hilton up the hill (and like 3Xs cheaper).

I would stay again, at a good price (shoulder season), if it was for 1 night so the kids could swim but would change rooms if we got a smokey one.

The room was mostly clean, bathroom was a little dirty. They don’t offer breakfast, just a 10% discount at the diner next door which was not mentioned before checking in. They’re renovating so it smells like paint and noisy. The actual yard areas are messy with debris and not mowed. The pool was okay except they left the dead bugs from the filter all over the floors and had a real loud machine running the whole time. The vending machine gave the wrong items. They also only change towels and sheets every three days unless you request more. It being next to the diner was nice for quick meals and not fighting traffic. Walking distance to olde Mistick village was nice. The air conditioner wouldn’t keep the fan on and the backsliders wouldn’t open either. Overall it was decent but for $100+ night I’d have preferred towels and sheets. There’s no coffee maker or anything in the rooms either.

The property needs a bit of a cleanup. They are doing renovations so that could be why it didn’t look the best. The room was ok, could definitely been a bit cleaner.
The worst was the stairway to get to the room smelled awful & the rug was very dirty.
The staff we interacted with were very polite.

The room had a nice mattress. There were nice towels. The room had rusty ceiling supports. There was water damage on the ceiling over the desk. The carpet needs a good cleaning. The place is under construction and partway into a remodel. The staff wasn't attentive. they were on their phones and didn't notice me at check in or checkout. They were going through the motions. Glad we only stayed one night on a longer trip across the region.

The bathroom is full of mold on walls and ceiling, the shower drains slow. There are two sinks and a shower, but only one soap to move between the 3. l I killed 2 spiders in the room between the AC unit and my bed. There is an ice bucket but no glasses to pour the ice into or even get a sip of water to brush my teeth. The room smells terrible of stale smoke, but if you open the slider to get fresh air all you can hear is the freeway and the next door restaurant washing dishes.

I was in a room at the end of a hall. This room was directly above where they were power washing some stuff. Which was a power washer that was in a box truck, not your everyday washer. It’s was insanely loud and vibrated the wall and window. This went on until after midnight.

There was work being done inside and out which is good because it needed work. However the painting in the hallway was inconvenient and molding being installed was noisy. The room was dated but clean but the water pressure in the sink was non existent however the shower was much better. All of this would have been overlooked if when I requested tissues and 2 clean towels were delivered to my room. I never got them I checked out one day early. Your question about amenities is a joke there were none no coffee no blow dryer no soap I will not recommend this Howard Johnson's

Over priced cheep motel. Hallway smelled of moldy cigarettes. Room without carpeting, cups, enough towels, No hotel-grade mattresses (they were upgraded old fashioned spring mattresses that altered you when your partner moved) TV too small, Thin door. Not feeling as secure as I would have liked. No phone to call front desk and no phone number at all for location. bathroom ceiling moldy, Tub/shower fixtures loose from wall. Checked out but no one at front desk. Paid WAY too much for this place. Really a $100-&125/night quality. Refrigerator did not work. Odd layout; single sink outside the bathroom, single sink in the bathroom. Will NEVER stay there again.
Pluses - the room was clean and did not smell bad. The shower stream was excellent. The motel was adjacent to a good diner (owned by same company as motel)

Terrible hotel. We had a water leak in our room on our last night there and when we asked for a manager there was none around, later in the week we finally heard back from management via email and they wouldn’t give us a refund for our 2night stay, they only offered 7,500 Wyndham points towards a future hotel reservation off their website. The points are useless since most of their hotels are either 15k or 30k points per night and the rates are almost double the price on their website versus the better deals on expedia. The hotel, room, and parking lot/grounds were all rundown. Your better off staying at the Holiday Inn Express across the street.

The place was dirty and outdated. The front desk staff were rude and unfriendly and unprofessional. The room I was checked into was in a literal construction zone! I was told be the front desk staff that only one door was accessible due to said construction, which was a complete lie… I paid for the hotel in advance and provided my identification during check in but I was treated as if I had someone else’s credit card and was demanded to show it or I could not check in! The hotel says free breakfast but I was told that there is no breakfast but a ten percent discount would be available at the restaurant next door, they own the restaurant next door! Never have I been to an establishment where there was no hospitality like this establishment! They have no clue that they’re in the hospitality industry! Don’t be cruel to yourself and stay there!!!

Positives: Staff was friendly. Check-in went smoothly. We got a deluxe room with 2 queen beds. It was spacious and the beds were comfortable enough. The water pressure in the shower was also good. The pool area was clean and the kids enjoyed it. There is a diner right next door.

Negatives: Everything was worn. There were marks on the walls that weren't repaired. The couch in our room had a couple mystery stains. The carpet near the night stand was also stained. For the cost given the location, I wasn't expecting pristine.

The biggest issue, though, is that water leaked from the ceiling in our bathroom the first time the people upstairs used their bathtub. It ran down the wall onto the vanity light and around the outlet on the wall. There was also black soot mixed in with the water. Maybe they didn't know how a shower curtain worked the first time, because they ran it a couple more times with no more leaks. I brought it to the front desk's attention and they offered to change rooms if we wanted.

Kidding me?? Woke up to screaming seagulls at 5am going through next doors property’s dumpsters right outside our rooms backyard. And two chairs to sit on if we wanted to watch with weeds also. Obviously this hotels manager knows about this and doesn’t give a crap about seagulls waking up travelers at 5 am and then he called me “ boss” instead of “ SiR”. What a dump!!! Heavy pool chlorine smell. And when you turn on bathroom light a loud fan comes on automatically. Otherwise…. Bed, room, price ,parking and 10 per cent off from the diner was good.

Very convenient location. I was actually surprised how impeccably neat and clean the room was after walking through a rather shabby entrance door and the hallway. But the room of course is the more important. Good air conditioning, good shower. Fridge is basic and very small + watch out for the preset T - it was set too low (as for the freezer), which froze all my veggies that I put in it.

I will NEVER stay here again. I've stayed in much nicer places for less than what I paid here, paid less each night in Boston! Had an issue with my room rate as well. I was told \"that's the price you agreed on a month ago with hotels.com, so we can't give the lower rate\". Would've saved about $90. Staff when checked in? Did not greet me at all. She said after a few minutes... \" Hello, waiting for you to step up\". WOW.
Rugs were dirty, there was a smell throughtout building. Beds were beyond uncomfortable. The refrigerator froze couple things I put on top shelfl had to throw out all but soda. Honestly best part of one night stay was breakfast at Mystic Diner next door. Highly recommend Mystic Diner!

We had a horrible experience. The first room were given had a horrible wet mold smell and a filthy bathroom. We were placed in between about 5 rooms under construction, so there was a lot of noise until about 5:30 PM. Mold and rust all over the shower. When I tested the water, the spicket flew off of the wall and hurt my shin. When I went to the front desk, they apologized and gave me another room. No comps offered or anything. The next room was a bit better with less of a smell and cleaner bathroom. Not sure why we didn’t have an adequate room assigned to us in the first place. We stayed here about 6 years ago and it was fine, which is why we stayed. I advise anyone considering to pay the extra money to stay at the Hyatt or Holiday Inn.

I arrive and there’s no one at the front seat. A written sign says to “knock on door”‘which I do for several minutes. I then resort to yelling “hello, anyone here?” This goes on for 10 mins. I then call the hotel and the phone that rings is at the desk where I am standing. Finally some an employee walks through the door after “getting sone fresh air” He gives me my keys, drive around to the back to Door C, keys don’t work. Drive back to front desk only to get accused of putting the keys agains my phone. I know better, told him I did not. Get new set of keys, again they don’t work. Drive back to front desk. Employee meets me at door and tells me the door reader is inop. Mind you this is happening at 11pm.

If you're looking for a nice vacation or get away, avoid at all costs. This place is a dump and is no better than a truck stop motel. I don't know if the pictures are old or AI but it looks drastically nicer online. Aside from the dirty bathroom and overall run down look of the hotel, the entire place reeks of weed and cigarettes.

I chose this hotel because of the price, the photographs and the reviews. Unfortunately, had there been photographs of the exterior of this hotel, I would not have chosen it. It is very old and run down. The room walls had places where the paint was off the walls from where something had been ripped off the walls. Our slider on our balcony didn't even close let alone lock. We were very disappointed but too tired to complain.

Its a budget hotel, you get what you pay for. The rooms are old but clean. Beds fairly comfortable. Showers could definitely use an update but had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The staff was friendly. We didn't use the pool but it appeared clean. Our room faced the highway and was pretty loud as the slider to the balcony was very old.
The hotel looks to be in the middle of upgrades so I would expect improvements in the coming month's.

Overall its probably the best deal in the area. It has an attached diner, is walking diatance to the Aquarium, Shops and Seaport. If you are on a budget this place is for you.

The only thing it has going for it is the location. The room was gross. Arrived at 10pm and were placed on a 2nd floor despite booking and paying for 1st floor. The room was big, but the beds seemed too small. I went back to the lobby to confirm we were placed into a room with 2 queen beds, and was told \"you know how sometimes clothes run small? Maybe these beds run small.\" I had to walk away to keep from being rude. Since it was already late, we decided to crash. The next morning when we actually looked at the room, we realized just how awful it was: We found a used bandaid by the bed, the carpet was stained and dirty, paint was peeling, walls were cracked and patched, and the couch was so stained it looked like it had been a prop in an adult film. A second trip down to the front desk to request housekeeping for the next day (they don't come to your room unless you request it a day in advance). Then, when we tried taking showers, the water wouldn't turn on. ANOTHER trip to the front desk to request maintenance, which I don't think ever got called. After waiting an hour, I yanked on the knob so hard that I felt like I was pulling the entire faucet out of the wall in order to get the water to work. Next day, we got back at 4pm to no housekeeping. Called the front desk and was told no one told the cleaning staff to come to our room. No one at desk to checkout. Took timestamped pic of me dropping off my room key in the box they left out on the counter. NEVER. AGAIN.
