We love’s everything. Room is big and comfortable. Delicious breakfast ( love the spinach quiche). We will definitely be back. We hope the bleach amount in the pool is a little less. Our new swimming suits color faded ( from black to blue).

Room was clean and spacious, breakfast was great, my kids loved the pool and walked to Mohegan Sun at Casey Plaza for monster jam. I would definitely stay again. There are a lot of restaurants and stores close by. You can probably walk to them but will walk on a road.

My girls and I decided to celebrate Valentines day with a trip. The indoor pool was their favorite part as it is the middle of winter! The room was comfortable and spacious and provided everything with ease. A side note the shampoo and Conditioner were incredible and I need to find them online for home!! Overall a great stay and definitely up to the Marriott standards we are used to!

This was a great higher end hotel. However, with the higher end prices one would expect toilet paper and a bar of soap in the bathroom. Also, the weird thing that the switch in the other room had to be on in order for the bathroom lights to work was just bad electrical planning.

Very clean, from the room, the hallways, the eating/breakfast area. The staff at the front desk were kind. The staff providing the breakfast were pleasant, helpful and engaging. Which I found to be refreshing. They were not too busy to take a minute to say hello or ask if there was anything elae that we needed. All staff went above and beyond. This will definitely be my family's go to hotel from now on. I will also be sharing my experience to my immediate and extended family members that travel so they too may experience this same reward! Thank you for the experience!

I did not like the fact that my room had a shower with only one shower door on it, so I basically took a cold and Very uncomfortable shower. I called the front desk because I thought the shower door was missing or something and the girl told me that some of their rooms only have half a shower door for Aesthetic. I would never rent a room knowing it only had one shower door and my shower would be wide open like that. I also found rose petals all along the side of my bed so someone was there for Valentine's Day doing something I don't even want to think about while I had my grandchildren there with me. I've stayed at several different residence Inns before and this had to have been the worst. I definitely won't be back to this one

This hotel is well kept, clean and modern. We stayed in a 1 bdrm suite and the room was perfect for 4. There was a good size fridge, nice electric range with a full size microwave. There was a full size sink and a small dish washer along with all you need to prepare a meal. The breakfast in the lobby was very good, lots of options and the coffee was on point (very important)! We will be back in the future!!

We actually had to stay because of the weather, We were not supposed to stay overnight. But the Hotel was Beautiful and close to our Family. The Hotel staff was very friendly and Professional. The only thing I didn’t like was the Bathroom. The Shower didn’t have but one door, So when taking a shower it was cold.

I drove in till 1 AM in the morning not woke up at 7 o’clock by landscapers right outside my window called the front desk. They didn’t care for how much money I paid for this room I would’ve been better staying across the street for $70 at motel six at least could’ve got a good nights sleep and that breakfast time they were out of food, had no bacon or eggs. Property needs better management.
