Lousy service

Both women working at the front desk were rude and certainly not helpful! I booked this hotel because of the outdoor pool during our trip to Mystic. Checkout was 11 am. We were told we could not use the pool after 11. I have NEVER had a hotel not allow facilities used on Checkout date!!! But they allow a different guest a large pool gathering with food being grilled!!! I have pictures!!! My room was not cleaned. Was told you need 24 hours notice to have new towels, trash emptied ect... I will NEVER stay with this hotel chain again! I went away to relax not clean or cook your so called free breakfast!

This was actually the nicest Best Western I have stayed at, personally. In my home state it’s an outdoor style hotel which I just don’t care for Regardless, it was always a pleasant and friendly experience for me. My only issue with this specific one was the AC. I was there only at night time to shower and sleep, then left. I reserved this room specifically because it was SO hot and crowded at my family beach house and so I could sleep during the day before driving back home. They switched my room prior which was the day of leaving due to AC issues in mine once I realized what was going on. It wasn’t any better. If you’re like me and you just want a nice COLD room to sleep in, this isn’t for you. 68 degrees is at best what it gets to. Also, I didn’t get sleep as planned prior to my drive home because the unit went click click” very loud both in the living area and bedroom before it ran again. Seems to be the only local one pet friendly in CT which is a plus for me. The AC situation for me, at least just made the stay not good for me and drove home exhausted. I got the room to sleep somewhere cold, with my dog for two nights. That didn’t happen which is why I rated it as I did. If you don’t need your room COLD and the thermostat not waking you right when you fall to sleep then it would be perfect for you in a room the heat didn’t randomly kick on in. Otherwise, would’ve been great!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Our room had LEAKS ALL OVER THE CEILING, and WATER ON THE FLOOR! This place may look freshly “renovated” but it’s all a façade. It’s made of cardboard. Don’t be fooled! The walls are paper thin, and you’ll hear everything. The staff are incompetent and in desperate need of training. We went up to the front desk staff and asked for extra pillows cause my husband needs to keep his head elevated due to his vertigo. The guy at the front desk asked us for our room number and never came with the pillows. He could have at least called us and let us know if there weren’t any. Body wash dispenser in the shower was completely empty, so we used the shampoo to wash our bodies. And we were never told when we checked in that we needed to ask for housekeeping if we want our room cleaned. So we came back from our outing still with no body wash, dirty towels and an unmade bed. And that doesn’t include the puddles on the floor from the leaky ceiling! When we mentioned it to the front desk, he said that there’s a little sign written on a little stand located on the side of the large desk indicating that housekeeping needs to be requested. No one would have noticed the little sign. The staff should have mentioned it when we checked in, just like all the other hotels that have limited housekeeping all over the country. And the guy who checked us in sneakily signed us up for the Best Western points program even though we specifically said that we don’t want to sign up!!!

Good stay!

The overall stay was amazing. The comfort was the best I’ve experienced in years. The beds were so soft and comfortable, I immediately went to sleep after settling in. The only issue was the shower door, it wouldn’t stay closed. So, I had to use a washcloth to keep it closed. I’m sure that’s an easy fix, so I wouldn’t let that deter me from staying again. The hotel was clean, offered free breakfast, plus has a little snack store for a late night bite. Check-in was easy, staff were lovely. I’d stay again.

Such a shame. The property seems very clean and new, but the place must be made of cardboard because everything is audible. The layout of the hallway reverberates all of the door slamming happening up and down the hallway, and neighbors upstairs and next-door can be hurt through the thin walls and flooring. Would not stay here again.

When we arrived at our hotel we found a newly renovated, very clean and comfortable room. Additionally, we especially like the updated flooring that did not include carpeting. Bathrooms were also newly renovated and found the bed and bedding very comfortable. Furthermore, the breakfast was good and including in the cost of our stay.
