Hotels near Connecticut College, New London

We stayed here for 2 nights, mostly due to location. We were getting the ferry to the Hamptons in the morning, and this was a 5-minute drive from the Ferry port! Reviews were hit & miss, but as I was only going to be there to sleep & not spend a long time in the room, I figured it worth booking here for the cheaper price over the next-door Clarion Inn. We checked in and was allocated a room on the second floor. The main thing I’d comment on is that we booked a non-smoking room, and it had a definite smell of lingering smoke. It was quite over-powering, but we didn’t bother to complain nor ask to be moved so that’s on us. Aside from the smell of cigarettes, the room itself was clean and a great size. It had a small kitchenette which I hadn’t expected. The Fridge was great to have, though we didn’t use the oven to know if that worked or not. The hotel felt safe as you needed your room key to get in from the outside doors. Some comments on here see this as a downside for food deliveries, but added safety is always a bonus in my eyes. The stay itself was fine – the bed was comfortable and there were no issues with noise from other rooms. On one night there was a car outside playing the music crazy-loud, but it stopped after a while so didn’t ruin my sleep. Overall, there are no doubt nicer motels, but I was happy with the stay for the 2 nights I was here. My 4* rating is based off my experience against expectation - I knocked a star off for the smoking smell in my room.

Stayed here two nights for our lodging accommodations as a stopping point on a cross country bus tour. Easy access off the interstate & ample parking. Good walkability around hotel. Room 319, which we were assigned, was handicap accessible (not at our request) & on the first floor. This hotel is a large, longitudinally spread out, multi-floor facility without an elevator. It is badly outdated & begs for upgrades. Feedback from others in our travel group indicate they had strange room configurations (equipped with cooking appliances) not found in traditional hotels. I was all panhandled in parking lot on a morning walk. Wi-Fi does not work throughout hotel….only if you want to sit in the lobby. Only one ice machine found working on the entire 1st floor. Numerous groups of security lights not working in parking lots around hotel. The most recent reviews speak for themselves except those wrote by folks with 1 review history handing out 5 ratings. The pics on this site posted by management (1st 10 or so) do not in any way shape or form reflect the true condition of this property today. They’re fake or from many years gone by. This is an extremely run down property and everywhere you look something is broke and/or in need of repair. Management’s response to the deterioration is to fix things with signs they randomly place around the facility. Folks at front desk trained to respond with “spins” & “redirections” when inquiries are made to why something isn’t working or available as advertised. Unfortunately, most are discovered after check-in. If you read management’s response on this site you can quickly see the groomed responses to obviously negative conditions/situations noted by posters on this site who had less than desirable stays. Upon entry into the hotel you’ll immediately be greeted by a distinct odor in the air of the lobby and/or hallways. We entered our room after 800 pm and discovered an even stronger wreak of stench in the air. Room smelled as if it was previous a smoking room, was stale & putrid; & slightly burned my nostrils after extended time in room. I have never in my life stayed in a worst hotel room. The bathroom door kept closing itself as it is no longer level on its hinges. We propped it open with a trash can to let steam out after showering. Floor tiles discolored with rust around toilet & baseboards crying out for caulk. Shower handle has ring detached which allows water to run in behind wall over time. The shower curtain would not stay closed as the rod is out of adjustment so far it kept opening itself from the ends allowing water to make it way out onto the floor tiles while showering. We cleaned that mess up each time we showered. This room should not have been rented out to anyone as it is. When attempted to login to the Wi-Fi the hotel alleges to have, I could not get the router to come up long enough to enter password. When it did show on my device, it only had one bar. When contacted front desk, their cann

The room was equipped with a cabinet-type air conditioner by the window. It could not be closed but kept on all the time. It was very noisy and affected sleep. It was reflected to the hotel. And told the helplessness that every room in the hotel is the same noisy. Even the basic quiet sleep is not guaranteed, this Holiday Inn is disappointing.

It was great spending time with my family

Pros: Staff were nice and accommodating. Mattress was super comfortable, we slept great, parking was plentiful. Cons: I walked barefoot on the hardwood floor and I noticed a horrible odor coming from my feet. FIRST, I had JUST taken a shower and SECOND my feet never smell like THAT. I proceeded to look under my feet and to horror my feet were greasy and smelled like poo. I was like HO MO GOD that's foul! when I wiped the floors with a towel the towels came back black as night. SO floors are disgusting, also there were some questionable characters possibly living there.
