Nice hotel near I-95 and Mystic Village

Pleased with the room. It was on second floor which I requested. No elevator but easy stairs. Room had a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ice bucket. Bathroom small but very clean and well lit. King bed was very comfortable and had two pillows. Internet connection and television with Direct Tv. Balcony with chairs if you wanted to sit outside. I did not check if they offered a minimal breakfast but there is a wonderful diner next door so plenty to eat.

My room was not ready when I got there. So I left and came back had to wait 35 min for someone to show up. I paid my room in full before I got to the hotel. Still had to put down a 100 deposit and it would take 3 to 5 business days to get back to me .

This place was a great price for a one night stay in Mystic. I know it’s not a 5 star hotel, but was pretty mortified with what we found. There was literally dry blood on one of our pillows and it wasn’t from us! The sink was clogged and where finding a big bug isn’t on the hotel itself, it just may the stay that much worse. The room from an overview was ok, but again to find someone else’s blood is disgusting!!! I did call the front and they came up, took the pillow and apologized. We did ask to speak to a manager and that never happened. Luckily there were 2 beds, so we definitely checked the other before utilizing it. The tv wasn’t working on and off either. Definitely not the best experience and to not have management check in on us, is not ok.

Downhill

The howard johnson used to be a nice but affordable place to stay. It's just affordable now. The place needs repairs and the repairs that are made are quite literally just planks of wood nailed to the wall then painted. The hallways stink like mold and the carpets are clearly discolored. They are in bad need of cleaning. Porch furniture was cracked and unusable. A visual representation of the entire place is a large fish tank in the lobby. I remember when it was a beautiful salt water tank full of vibrant fish. Last year I went and the tank was empty. This year it just had a tarp over it. Management doesn't seem to care at all, not sure if they're apathetic or incompetent. I'll never stay here again unless I hear about a change in ownership.

My family enjoyed our trip! Staff was friendly and the diner next door was excellent. This was a perfect location for our visit to the Aquarium and Mystic Village. From the outside it can look a little rough around the edges but our room was clean and comfortable.

Clean but Very Rundown Hotel and Property

Chose Howard Johnson for cost reasons and thought the Wyndham name added some merit to the quality. Stayed 2 nights for a local concert. Room was clean and bed very comfortable but little things in disrepair in the room and overall condition of the property was very poor. Biggest concern was the door we used to enter the building was supposed to be accessed by our room key but was broken and did not lock at all. On a positive note the Diner and Restaurant on the property was fantastic - excellent food and service, and the hotel stay did include a 10% discount there.

You get what you pay for

It's older and dated, and smells a little funky, but the price was affordable for Mystic. It served its purpose.

When we walked into the first room there was a horrendous stench. The bathroom was disgusting with urine and feces still in the toilet. The toilet and tub loked as though they had not been cleaned for weeks. I had to purchase a container of Clorox wipes and a bottle of extra strength Febreeze of which I used most of just to be able to tolerate staying there. The heat/AC only started working when we played around with the buttons and we even had diculty with the shower which only flowed water after banging on the knob. Lastly, the reservation boasted a coffee maker, which we had all the suppl I es for but no coffee maker to make coffee. The other room we had, contained a jetted tub that did not work. Complaints to management went unattended. I finally reached out to Expedia ,who contacted the facility on my behalf with no luck as I was denied a refund of any sort. So I will never return to this establishment, nor will anyone I know. I will be reviewing this establishment on all available sites. I am truely appalled by the way I was treated.
