The staff was very kind and helpful.
Dirty looking carpet and no free premium TV channels. Outdated television too.
The motel isn't what it claims to be on your site. It claims it serves breakfest and it dosnt. The AC is as loud as a train. When I asked the front desk about breakfest she seemed offended I asked and she said no and that I was getting a good rate. Not. I
We love the jacuzzi tub for 2 in our room
The TV was old and kept turning off.the furnishings are a little dated
Very clean. (ps I'm not from Norwalk CT)
Would have liked a plug to take a bath. The recessed lighting was nice but it would have been nice to have the option of lower lighting. It was either completely dark or blinding light. Dimmer switch would have been nice.
The price was fantastic, the location was great and convenient, the room was clean, and everything was as expected!
When checking out there was nobody at the desk. I stood there with another lady for about seven minutes and then we ended up just leaving our room keys on the counter with a note.
It was a clean and nice looking room location not the best but it was good.
The pillows were horrible!'
their website is totally misleading, no breakfast, no pool, room in need of remodeling, didnot provide me with a receipt, said they would email it they havent done so. Whenasked about the decrepancies in website and actual location, was told " gee Idont
Friendly staff
More maintenance should be done. Very pretty paint but worn down equipment. Bathroom tile and sinks. Wall repair
No continental breakfast or pool. I was told management would call as I requested to speak with them regarding the cockroaches but they never called.
There were three cockroaches found in our room. No towels were in the room and they did not fill the tissue dispenser.
This place was a great deal! Very clean and neat. Had a little problem with the refrigerator but the lobby attendant came right away and fixed it! I was very happy with my stay.
I didn't like the liquor store across the street but luckily it didn't bring any noisy people around us.
It was close to mission innWhen we requested for another room we were denied and forced to stay in the room with a major leak and mildew smell. Tweakers everywhere. No customer service. Will never return and will advise friends and family members not to
The roof leaked above the toilet. It was raining in our bathroom basically. The cable went out 4 times. The TV turns off by itself every two hours. The owner of the place really doesnt care if youre happy with the room you payed more than --- bucks for
