Water in shower was cold. Front door was cracked in several places from what look like an attempted break in prior. Door was an old fashioned key which was not secure in anyway. Room initially didn’t look to bad. When I checked in I mentioned I had a dog with the staff. They charged me an extra the next day upon checking out which was never mentioned when checking in. Poor management skills but cheaper option in the area

We needed a room for one night and very little was available in the area - we were pleasantly surprised by the large, clean room with microwave and fridge, 2 large mattresses and plenty of storage space. Beds were OK, the place was not beautiful but practical, and check-in guy was helpful. Nice location, easy access to Foxwoods, Stonington and Mystic. Saved us a lot of money, very well worth the price.

The place is clean but very basic no night light bathroom is very small and the night we stayed there Tv wasn’t working the soap that they give you is like 2 in big. I had to go out and buy a ROKo stick so we could have something to do and watch TV. I feel that I should get some sort of a rebate because i wasn’t very happy about to go buy that just to watch tv because there was nothing else to do.

Not sure how they're still in business

From arrival to departure the service was poor to nonexistent. We were greeted as if we were an interuption. The room smelled musty. The walls are thin so you hear EVERYTHING thats going on in the next room over. The water faucets are all backwards, hot is cold, cold is hot. Microwave was dirty and gross. The bathroom door didn't close, hinge was broken. Towels were like drying off with an old rag. The heater / air unit is VERY loud. The bedding (or lack there of) was flimsy and not comfortable at all. The stairs to the upper unit are ridiculous and can't be up to code. Definitely will not be staying there again.

The hotel was ok, the water pressure for the hot water wasn't good, and tried talking to people in charge, they didn't speak English so couldn't understand them, but overall the room is very clean, and one thing that could be changed is put a sink outside the bathroom and just have toilet and shower in the bathroom so you could have more space for a shower because the shower is too small, it doesn't make sense having a sink in the bathroom and sink outside the bathroom, and the wall in the bedroom should block the bathroom, it should be more open so you know where the bathroom is, that's what I didn't like about the room, otherwise it was clean and it was fine.

The pictures online appear to be taken immediately after renovations or something. The reality is nothing like that. The place has not be taken care of. Dirty walls, dirty molding. The paint on the door was so bad it looked like a bear was trying to claw its way out. Disgusting musty odor that would not go away even with the windows left open all day. The rug (not hardwood floors as some of the online photos show) wasn’t vacuumed. The fridge was dirty. It really seems like the owners down really care about the place and were just collecting a check.

A multitude of problematic findings: the room was so much smaller than the pictures showed, there were cigarette burns on the comforter, thinning of the black out curtains so light came through, temperature settings on the shower has the opposite label (turn it to cold if you want a warm shower, turn to hot if you want an ice shower), the water is very hard and left a residue on my hair, and the TV signal was unreliable and would black out. A college kid was throwing up off the side of the porch a few doors down. I forgot my ID at the desk and the receptionist kindly called me to let me know that night; we agreed that I would pick it up at 9am (I truly lost count of how many times I tried to rephrase, \"when is your office open? what time can I come get it?\" because a language barrier was quite apparent). However, when he came pounding on our door at 7am, the language barrier became really unfortunate. Sure, I felt safe, the toilet flushed, and the location was ideal for events I was attending at the nearby vineyard, but I would not recommend this place, I'm so sorry.

When we checked in we weren't greeted in a friendly manner at all. It was just straight to business. Not a smile, a hello, or welcome. The website description of this place is very misleading. It shows newly remodeled rooms. We didn't get that. The bathroom had been remodeled but not the rest of the room. I feel they should've given us what was advertised considering there were not that many guests there. We had to ask for fresh towels on our second day and after that they brought them to us. I have to say, despite the shoddy conditions it was very quiet there. Probably due to lack of guests. It was ok. But i wouldn't stay here again given the lack of friendliness, no amenities and rooms.

Completely Unacceptable – Avoid This Hotel

Our stay at America’s Best Value Inn in Stonington, CT, was a nightmare. The only employee on-site did not speak a word of English, making it impossible to get help. In an English-speaking country, there should be fluent staff on-site—not just over the phone, where we were forced to give our credit card details to someone who sounded like a child. We received no receipt, no invoice, and no confirmation of charges.

The room was just as bad. A one-inch gap around the door let in freezing air, making it impossible to stay warm even with the heat blasting. The bathroom was like an icebox, and to make things worse, there were no comforters—just thin top sheets, totally inadequate for winter.

The TV had no channels, and despite the hotel being nearly empty, they placed us directly below the only other guests, who jumped and stomped all night.

This hotel’s definition of “value” is misleading. The photos online are completely false, and the experience was unacceptable. If you expect basic service, comfort, or even proof of your charges, stay anywhere else.

Four paws down - You get what you pay for!

You get what you pay for. The hotel was old, and off the main highway. The room smelled like mold and mildew. The front desk person was very friendly and nice. That said, when we decided to leave early due to the storm, then nobody knew anything about getting a refund for the night we did not stay. The worst part was that we could have dealt with all of those things, but then the microwave did not work, and we could not heat up the dogs' breakfast in the morning. Both us and the dogs give this place four paws down!

Value oriented with kind staff

This is a basic hotel for the value oriented traveler, and a bargain considering the area. It was surprisingly clean, and I did not find any evidence of insects. Although some of the decor decisions were not to my personal taste, everything was clean and in working order, and the room had been recently renovated. Here i would encourage the owners to redecorate in a style that American travelers understand and look for in a coastal area, i.e. blues, white, gray, and no shiny fabrics. The people working there, although their english is limited, were very kind and eager to help us have everything we wanted. The only downside was the door handle lock assembly needs to be replaced. It is flimsy and, unfortunately, you can not leave it in a unlock position if you need to run out to your car or something. Word to the wise, carry your door key with you, and bring plastic utensils with you if you plan to eat take out in the room. There was a clean kitchenette with microwave and fridge, but no plates, forks, spoons, etc., and the front desk does not carry these items. Lastly, this hotel is not accessible for travelers in wheelchairs. There are steps to get into the rooms, and no ramps that i could see.

cheap stay for 1 night and not too far from point judith and mystic. Room wasn’t the most clean and had some hair around. Minimum hot water. Called prior to going and asked what time check in was until and was told until 10 pm. Called at 9 to let them know we were on our way and was called 2 minutes after asking us to rush over. Check in was easy but no one was there at 11 when we checked out. I tried calling multiple times and nobody answered. i then took a picture of my watch and the keys on the counter. would go again if i needed a cheap stay.
