HO JO in Mystic

Aug 12th, 2019

the room was overpriced & in poor condition, but the motel is in a great location. If staying in Mystic there are better options for the price. Spend the extra $30 and get a much higher quality experience with a higher end hotel. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

HoJos of old

Aug 11th, 2019

I remember the days of HoJos being the only motels around. With the orange and blue theme. This place looks like they just kept throwing orange paint on a few things and relying on location to stay around. Room outdated with a basic attempt to add something to make it more modern. They fall short. The staff was nice but..... what can they do. The pool is OLD and smells weird. Not great more little ones as the depth is 3, 5 the 9, feet. Wouldn’t look to go back. Lots of options within very short distance although more $ TRIPADVISOR.COM USER

Great location but falls short on cleanliness

Aug 8th, 2019

This location was suggested to us since it’s off the highway, convenient to downtown and pet friendly. We arrived late on a Friday - check in was quick and easy but we were super disappointed when we got to our room - it was in desperate need of a dehumidifier and had a very strong damp/moldy smell to it. We figured we would deal with it but when we started to look around we noticed that overall the room was very unclean. There were spider webs and spiders all over the slider and the mini fridge had mold all down the seal. There was a voicemail on the phone from the beginning of July so we figured no one had been in that room for a few weeks. I went to the front desk and the woman was very apologetic and offered us a new room. The new room was better in comparison. There was a small dehumidifier that helped but the water tub was moldy inside and the vents on the unit were caked with dust. The slider in the room was pretty worn looking and we didn’t attempt to open it. I didn’t feel comfortable in the room all weekend and was ready to leave on Sunday. Before checkout we had to run a few errands so we packed up and left the do not disturb sign on the door. I bumped into a cleaner who asked if we were checking out and I let him know that we were not and we would be back (it was about 10:30 and we planned to leave at 12:00). We got back to the room at 11:45 and noticed the door was propped open and things were moved around. While we were in the room with the door closed the same cleaner unlocked the door and came in! (Still had DND sign up) This was SUPER off putting. He apologized but entering a room with a DND tag which someone has not checked out of or requested service for is completely unacceptable! Pros: pet friendly, great location, friendly front desk, lots of parking Cons: extremely unclean and uncomfortable, cleaning staff that just walks in and leaves door propped open when you’re still checked in We won’t be staying here again.

Another Good Stay

This is our second time staying here. Once again, the rooms were clean and service was prompt. We asked for extra pillows and an extra blanket. They all arrived before we were unpacked! Pool is clean and welcoming. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER
