Wayne was an awesome host! We had a nightmare of a hotel room before immediately leaving there and coming to this property. Wayne was able to immediately accomodate us and was so friendly. I loved the view of the water and its location in a historic and quiet part of town. The property is somewhat dated, but that didn't affect us at all. I highly recommend eating at Puffins just right down the road too. ![View from parking lot.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/745BE479826FC42F5170E1349A400FBA3F1DAD761716239368890.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Our room, first floor next to the stairs.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3F8B25DDD191DD5F90F9D52F62FDAEF9A46508FD1716239369375.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from parking lot.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0098709EEE1D022DE51AB9531C91E1BE790E36171716239368747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Historic home just down the street.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/01C637EAFA09B8A8EE897EC542FF39612DFE85381716239506201.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bethany Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Sparsely furnished but well-kept rooms.

We were there to visit my son in the Navy, and it was incredibly convenient to the base. It's a more historical part of Groton but we never felt unsafe or worried about our car. We actually really enjoyed the charm of the area. Getting checked in was a bit bumpy, as our room wasn't ready, but they bent over backwards to make it right for us, and when we needed supplies in the room they delivered them right to us. The room is basic, but it has a full kitchenette, a firm bed, comfy chairs, and a clean bathroom, and really that's all we needed. The weather was delightful and we were able to leave the windows open, and outside the door you could see right over the marina to the water. Don't come here looking for the Ritz, but on the other hand you're also not having to pay Ritz prices. We have no regrets about staying here, and would do so again. It also looks like they are working hard on upgrading it, so it should only become nicer in the future. It is one of the most affordable options in the area, it's safe, it's clean, and it's in walking distance of nice restaurants. It's definitely worth staying at, in my opinion, and we enjoyed our time there and the chance we had to see our son! ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox Tower at Foxwoods](https://www.expedia.ca/Mashantucket-Hotels-The-Fox-Tower-At-Foxwoods.h1765323.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Southington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Southington.h3929.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Mohegan Sun](https://www.expedia.ca/Montville-Hotels-Mohegan-Sun.h894248.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Torrington-Hotels-Mayflower-Inn-Spa.h170742.Hotel-Information)
