"We stayed for one night, and it was the perfect price for what we needed. The hotel was clean, parking was easy, and the location was ideal close enough to Foxwoods to grab dinner, do a little shopping, and spend some time gambling. Overall, it was a great stay and an excellent value for the price!"
