This was a great place for my husband and I to stay the night after foxwoods. Our room was huge, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. It was clean, and overall I’d come back and stay again. It’s definitely dated, but it was clean enough for me to sleep without getting the hebbie jeebeze. We even had a walk out slider and could park right outside which made for easy unpacking.
Stayed at Goldstar because I had a Volleyball tournament at Foxwoods.We stay here every year for the tournament. Foxwoods is only 15 min away. Rooms are large. The staff is super friendly. We were on the 2nd floor & second night someone was blasting music on 1st floor. I called front desk & they addressed the issue instantly. Wish they had a continental breakfast...
From the outside, the hotel looks fine. Inside the receptionist didn’t even pretend to be friendly. The room was large…in fact it was a large living space and a separate bedroom and bathroom. But the place had no heating at all in the living room and the heat was turned off in the bedroom with temperatures in the teens outside. Took forever to warm up both rooms. No coffee in or outside the room. Did have frig and microwave in the frozen over kitchen space.
If you are looking for a run down place to stay this is it. The shower had very low pressure and looked like the pipe was going to fall out of the wall. There is only heat in the bedroom not the living room. The front of the kitchen cabinet fell off while we were sitting across the room.
