La Quinta Inn & Suites Stonington

Have stayed here a few times now, and have decided this would be the last. This hotel needs some TLC. There was old food left in the fridge, trash cans were empty but the dirty bags were left and the remote control was missing a back piece and wouldn’t work. We kept our shoes on most of the time we were there bc left over crumbs that weren’t vacuumed would get stuck to our feet. Not worth the money, you would be better off paying a little more, and staying closer to the casinos.

I didn’t expect too much, and was even a bit anxious on the way here, with the price being on the lower end for the area. Reviews seemed in the middle of the road. Well I’m glad we decided to stay here. The room was very clean. Staff was wonderful! Indoor pool looked nice although I didn’t get a chance to use it. Area is nice. Rural. We felt safe and welcomed. Just mins from the casinos and not to far from the beaches as well. Rest easy booking a room here. If we are ever in the area to stay again I will be back …

The staff here is awesome… Dana especially. Very clean accommodations and very upscale for being a LaQuinta!

Do not make the same mistake I did and choose the LaQuinta Stonington to reserve a block of rooms for your wedding or event. In the weeks before our wedding, I had to deal with several complaints from our guests that no one at the hotel seemed to know about my reserved rooms, and only one guest got the group rate I was promised ($ 189 instead of the regular rate of $ 259). At least 4 other guests were told the group rate didn’t exist or that the «reservation period has ended,» which was certainly not true at the time. The manager Priyanka Patel was completely incompetent, or perhaps she knew exactly what she was doing by lying about the blocked rooms and trying to squeeze the full $ 259 rate out of my guests. When questioned further, Priyanka’s method for dealing with the issue was to put me and my guests on hold indefinitely until we gave up and hung up. It’s been quite embarrassing that I recommended this hotel to all my guests, because I would NEVER send anyone here had I known how atrocious their customer service is. Seriously, I would recommend camping in your car over trying to book a room at the La Quinta Stonington. Words cannot express how disappointed I am that I chose them.

Went to this location to inquire about making a large reservation for a wedding. Manager was extremely rude and non-​accommodating. We are trying to give you our business, at least try and be amiable. Disappointed that they can treat people this way.

I stayed here back in February on Valentines Day after a concert at the casino. I was very impressed for the price. I paid only $ 90 for the room which I thought was very good. The front desk staff was friendly. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. They also had transportation to and from the casino which was nice especially because it was snowing that night.

This is a pet friendly hotel which at first gave me pause, but you would never know it, the place is clean and very nice…
The staff was fantastic, the front desk clerk Dalton, though he was very busy, still took time and went the extra mile helping us out… I told him in not a big Dominos fan (they deliver pizza to this location) I asked him to recommend a place, he suggested a local Italian place Bön Apetite and their food was incredibly good! This young man went the extra mile to find me the number and help us get there without getting lost, which is huge for my family LOL
The pool was very clean and felt awesome after a long day at the beach.
The rooms were very quiet, which was fantastic… livery thing they advertise is totally true, and their morning breakfast was great! Orange juice was delicious, and their waffles were very yummy, highly recommend

The rooms are a bit small, but comfortable. I wasn’t impressed. It fit the need for the time being. It wasn’t anything to get too excited about. Well I will say that’s reasonable for a decent hotel in the area. The ones right on the beach are crazy expensive, so its nice to have another option.

Very bad experience here. I do not recommend this hotel. Full disclosure: this was my first and only stay at the hotel.
The smell of mildew is heavy in the lobby; the room also had an odor that was offensive, but it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what was the cause. The bathroom linens were dirty. And not just one towel — several towels had visible residue on them. Really gross.
But here’s the best part. Upon entering the room at about 8:30 in the evening, my wife commented that the TV in the room next door must be just on the other side of the wall because we could hear it so clearly. The person who was watching the TV in the room next door also had a bad cough that kept us awake pretty late into the night — which was a little annoying because we had to up and out the door early the next morning. But you can’t help a cough, right? When I left the room the next morning, I realized that the space next door from where all the noise was emanating was not a guest room — it was a utility closet! I notified the front desk immediately. The attendee there told me that there was a hotel employee temporarily living in that room and that the person was getting over a cold. «But don’t worry,» she said, «he’s not working today.» Well, that’s good. Let him rest up.
I can’t make this up. An employee living in the room next door. I’m not going to judge — lots of people are going through hard times right now. But the hotel should offer a solution. Let’s knock down the price of the room or something. Nope. Gift certificate? Nope. Perhaps what’s most unbelievable is that the employee at the front desk told me that there was someone living there. She just gave that information up right away. At least lie to me and tell me that you have no idea what’s going on and that you would look into it.
To sum up: over-​priced, dirty, employees live in storage closets and make a lot of noise. Skip this one and find someplace else.

In the plus column… new, clean, convenient, decent breakfast, indoor pool. In the minus column rooms are small, walls are paper thin. Very noisy on nights with the wrong group. Price is decent, parking is good, beds are okay. I prefer a hotel with more personality.

We’ve been at the La Quinta for the past week or so, while my mom’s been in the hospital. This hotel has some plusses and minuses:
1. New and clean! +
1b. The furniture is fine, but cheap. Don’t try to move it, at all costs.
1c. The bed is so comfortable!
2. Pretty good, free, continental breakfast with waffles, toast, muffins, cereal, and yogurt & fruit for the gluten free. The coffee is also above average.
3. Incredibly convenient to Westerly – it’s at the intersection of 2 and 78, and right near 95.
4. Indoor pool, guest laundry, a fitness room, and a computer (in a room). +
5. We had one unfortunate night when our room was sandwiched by two rooms hosting the boozy after-​party for a wedding. We called at 12:30 and 2:30 am, and didn’t get quiet until 3 am. Kind of a bummer, particularly when we still had to pay the entire cost of our room for the night, despite our requests.
Overall, pretty standard, with some nice bonuses.
P. S. Krys A. the iron and closet are hidden behind the mirror!

Huge fan of this place. I really liked it. Everything is very clean and has a new feel to it. I love the way the guest rooms are decorated. The bed was comfortable, which was definitely a plus after a long night. :)
The only thing the guest rooms were missing was a closet and an iron. Breakfast was an option in the morning and even though it looked good, I didn’t stay to eat it.
The only thing that truly disappointed me about this hotel was the fact it did not have a shuttle to Foxwoods. I think any hotel with in a 20minute radius of the casino SHOULD have a hotel. Otherwise a taxi one way to the casino is roughly $ 40; No thanks, I drove my little butt to the casino and back. A 15minute ride seemed like it last forever … but I did it.
I’d stay here again. Nice little place.

If you don’t want to go broke BEFORE heading to MGM Grand at Foxwoods, head to La Quinta Inn in Stonington. It even smells like a stoner slept there last night!
It’s expensive via cab, probably looking at 20 bucks either way, so the best solution is to drive there, park for free, and find some rich sugardaddy or mamabear to spend the night with.

Great location. About a 12 minute drive to Foxwoods casino.
Rooms are nice but kinda small. The staff is very nice and prompt to your needs… We didn’t have a shower curtain when we arrived, staff got a brand new one in our room ASAP. Only downside the walls are paper thin and the first night some guests decided to stay up till 5am talking loud. I did not complain… just dealt with it. Pets are welcome here. The grounds are kept clean. They also have a movie theater within walking distance… FYI: bring your booze… closest liquor store is about 4 miles away… they close @ 6 on Sundays.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a friends’ wedding. I was actually really excited (nerd alert) to see that one of the two hotels the couple was recommending was a La Quinta, because I know the entire chain is very pet-​friendly. So I was able to bring my dog along for the weekend.
This was a very clean hotel that must have been recently built or recently renovated (always a fan of new-​feeling hotels). And the front desk person was very accommodating to get me a room near an exit so that taking my dog out wasn’t a chore.
I will say that the first room key/​assignment the guys gave us led me to an already-​occupied room and a very surprised gentleman came to the door to see three girls and a dog trying to bust in, but once they got that little situation straightened out, it was smooth sailing.
Also, very reasonably priced and not far from some decent shopping (ie outlet malls)!
