My wife and I and another couple stayed here due to its relative proximity to Mohegan and its rates. It's been probably 20 something years since I've last used this icon. Unfortunately it seems it's been at least that long since this hotel made any changes or upgrades to its decor. Seriously, I think all the original carpets, wall paper... More

My small group immediately were disgusted by the smells lingering in the corridors. When we entered our rooms cobwebs and roaches in the rooms. One of our couples found live 3 bed-bugs on top of the sheets just below the bed spread. When management was confronted with the discoveries they called us liers and started insulting us with racial slurs.

We booked a room through Booking.com at a different property, but there was a problem, and Booking.com arranged for our reservation to be switched to the Howard Johnson while we were en route. Knowing it was a holiday weekend, we didn't have much choice, so that's what brought us here. I read the reviews on Tripadvisor later and would say... More

We came to the Howard Johnson because we were going to Foxwoods for the weekend. At check in, the gentlemen was very polite. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met while checking into a hotel. He asked us over and over again if we needed directions anywhere, explained the area very well, and made sure that...

This hotel was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. I wanted a cheap room to go to foxwoods, and got this one priceline. Its not off the main highway and takes a little bit of a drive to get there, which made arriving at in the late evening not to exciting. The man behind the front desk... More

Very disappointing ! Can't believe I left my clean house to stay in such filth . My husband ran out to buy bleach to clean the disgusting bathroom, which had urine on the walls, and Febreeze to cover up the God awful stench that hit us even before we entered the hotel .We are still airing out our bags to...

My husband and I were going to a concert at Foxwoods, and decided to stay in the area on the night of July 31st. We were desperate for a room, so we went through Priceline, named our own price, and were the "lucky" winners of HoJo in Groton for $97. We then checked Tripadvisor reviews, got scared, and found that... More
