If you look on maps, it says this property is permanently closed. However, this property is the most open and functional property I have seen in the Groton area. The room I stayed in was recently re-done. The bathtub still had a sticker on it. It’s so clean. is a nice little family that owns the property and we love to support local businesses. Keep up the good work guys I hope to see you soon.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean, decent size room but very basic, there wasn't even shampoo in the room. Externally looked very sketchy. Super thin walls/floors, could hear everyone else walking around in other rooms. Served the purpose for one night but wouldn't stay there again.

My ac unit went out and I was staying for 2 weeks. They didn’t give us a fan or change our rooms when they said they would. They wouldn’t even compensate us for the HELL we were staying in. Mind you we’re homeless so we had to stay there.

It was a good place to sleep. There were no shampoos, or anything in the room. Just a bar of soap. The hall smelled like weed but the room didn't. If you are just looking for a cheap place to lay your head. This is it.

Not the worst
It was comfortable enough for the price. Beds had waterproof mattress pads which is good however turning over and moving sounded like I was sleeping on a bread bag. There was a table but no chairs. It seemed freshly painted and newly remodeled but there was an odor throughout the hotel. There was a coffee station in the morning from 7-10 in the lobby but no fresh creamer (only powder packets) and no food. Not even a vending machine. You get what you pay for. We were only looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring mystic and shopping. The staff was very nice.
