We stayed at this hotel November 16-17 2024 for the CT Car Show at Mohegan Sun, and it was a great experience! Mohegan Sun was charging $800-1K+ a night for their rooms last minute, Fairfield hotel was under $400 and only 3 minutes driving wise. It was also very convenient having the on demand free shuttle to and from Mohegan Sun. Jeffery the shuttle driver was so professional and such a great guy! He was awesome!
Here is my experience with this hotel:
Rooms
Rooms are very nice, they definitely show their age especially the furniture, but it’s not a bad thing. Plug in Outlets throughout the room is very nice, sadly no USB ports. Room TV has Netflix, YouTube and HBO Max built in to watch for free which is really nice! Pull out Couch is also nice for more people to sleep in the room. Bathroom is large and clean.
Nearby activities
-Mohegan Sun: 3 minute drive from hotel -Foxwoods Casino and Tanger Outlet mall: 10-15 minute drive -Walmart: 5 minute drive
Safety
Neighborhood itself is relatively safe and quiet. Parking lot of this hotel was well lit at night both front, back and sides of the property with LED lights, making it safe to park and walk to and from hotel.
Walkability
Not much to walk to around this neighborhood, it’s better to drive to get to places from this hotel than it is to walk. But stores and the casino is close by with car, highway is nearby as well.
Food & drinks
Free breakfast was great! 2 waffle makers, eggs and sausage, and other small items
