Cockaponset State Forest, Connecticut hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean room, staff was great "

"Clean and neat room. Delicious breakfast. "

"If you don't request room service, they won't clean your room. Every day, I had to ask them to reactivate my key card so I could get into the room. The pool was closed by the Department of Health. They assigned me a room that hadn't been cleaned since the previous guest checked out. The breakfast was terrible—just coffee and slices of bread. I don't recommend"

"Front lobby has been remodeled but that is all. Hotel is disgusting, dirty, mold, curtains are filthy and stained. Lamp shade was even filthy. I don’t think the floors have been vacuumed or moped in years. I wouldn’t eat breakfast from this hotel bc it’s so dirty. I instantly had allergy and asthma issues from the room."

"Clean room, polite staff"

"The room was clean but a little outdated. The hair dryer very old and needed to be replaced. The carpet in the room had a musty smell. The hallways had a similar smells as well. A good steam cleaning hopefully will resolve the issue. The walls are thin so you might hear your neighbors or plumbing sounds. Shower pressure was high, but hot water was quick. There is no quiet time, so people were talking and slamming the door in the of the late of night. Breakfast was basic, no pancakes or waffles makers. Parking was free, which is good. Good stay if on a budget, but if you expect better quality, maybe not."

"We just needed an economic hotel to spend the night during our road trip. The fact there is no carpet was good as the room seems cleaner. The hotel itself is old but it seems they renovated the rooms. We had a comfortable night of sleep considering it’s a motel. The main negative aspect was the guest on the room in front of us (we stayed at 112) - the person was screaming at the TV or phone during the night and started before 6am. Not a great alarm to start the day with but we headed out early in the morning anyway. We told the staff about it but nothing was done as it seems it’s a resident of the hotel with own issues. Try to avoid that room if you are looking for a peaceful night."

"good"

"Postcards really thought of everything you could want or need for a short stay in the woods. It was exactly what we needed!"
