Bait and Switch..then BEER PARTIES all night?
By LAWRENCE C, 08/13/08
The Holiday EXPRESS is in Mystic....The HOLIDAY INN is in New London....WE stayed at the New London HELL HOLE...We saw the ad for $69/night rooms which jumped to $129 when we arrived due to only a few rooms left.....ok, we were going by the in-town ferry to BLOCK island..and this hotel was close...so we stayed in a smoker's room...still not preferred...but ok....then at 2:45 am, guests in the next door room had put up a sign in their open window of " BEER STORE OPEN" and partied loud and long till we left at 5:15 am.....after we had called the desk twice.......and as we left, the desk stated they could take a few bucks off the bill....The next night we stayed at the Mariott in Mystic....SAME PRICE...(we did not think it could be but it was)...and we had a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, 4 poster bed in a converted 1771 mansion with a breakfast including eggs,bacon,waffles,pancakes.....and a complimentary Bottle of a choice of 3 wines......NO COMPARISON FOLKS....DONT do the hell hole in New London.....I'd have spent the extra ten minute (tops) drive to go back to Mystic, Ct
