Fred's Inn & Lodge, Norwich

I woke up one morning to a flooded room due to heavy rains. We were given a different room as we had 7 days remaining on our reservation. Two days later we were informed that we would have to leave because some rooms were unusable because of flooding and they had to make room for other reservations for the weekend. I asked why my reservation didn't matter and received no explanation. Also, because of the flooding all hotels in the area are full so due to Fred's Inn's need to make money from a natural disaster, i'm stuck in Norwich with no place to stay. Thanks alot, Fred's Inn! I'll never come here for their lousy food our their awful hotel again!!!!!!

The rooms were big and clean. Free WiFi, coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Ironing board and iron and hairdryer provided. (Dryer was a little weak.) The room was a little dark. There was no overhead light, just three small lamps. They could add a floor lamp from K-Mart. That would be sufficient. The bathroom was large and well lit. I wish we could have tried the restaurant. They have an extensive menu and a Sunday Brunch Buffet, but we were visiting an old friend of my husband's and he cooked for us. The LA Maison Blanche Bakery Cafe right down the road is fantastic. Pastry and coffee were great. They also had little quiche's and my husband said you can get a full breakfast as well. Indoor and outdoor dining. The whole area is beautiful and if you're a kayaker, it looks like there are plenty of paddling opportunities. I would stay here again and hopefully sample the restaurant food. There's a Price Chopper not to down Rt 12 that has a nice selection of cheese and fruit if you're not a fan of Walmart and the high cost of low price. We chose fred's because the Super 8 was full and the HJ's got bad reviews. Fred's had the best reviews and I can see why.

We stayed here a few times, the rooms were very nice. We had no problems at all.
