La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Stonington-Mystic Area

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Stonington-Mystic Area

10/10 Excellent
"A GREAT experience. I needed a room quickly. I went on Expedia to look for something in the area. I confess. I didn't know what I thought of the La Quinta "brand". I was worried it would be awful. But I decided to take a chance since it was already 8pm. And... What a pleasant surprise! Very clean. Really kind and attentive staff. A clean swimming pool (indoor) A weight room. 24 hour coffee / teas - yogurt... And a breakfast in the morning. Could not have been happier. I will definitely stay at La Quinta properties in the future. And this one in particular. Sleep well!"
