Essex Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Essex, Connecticut

"No hot tub, no breakfast, very dirty and run-down. Half the building was being renovated because of a bad fire involving 3 floors! Strong fire smell and broken elevator. They tried to put us in a room right next door to 10 rooms we could barely walk by doors, tools insulation and workers hammering and drilling. Moved us to the other end and downstairs. Still strong fire smell. Pool was dirty and stuff floating around. Hot tub boarded up and sauna no where to be found. We have stayed here before and it's sadly gotten so bad. Only positive thing was the staff. Unless your desperate stay away."

"We had a good time and saw a concert ! "

"Clean room. Breakfast not "curated," just normal continental fare. Ice machines not indicated on emergency map plan on door. After fruitless ice hunt, had to ask at front desk. Elevator floor buttons confusing: button "4" is floor four, that I can figure; but what is button "4R" next to it? Dispenser pumps in shower disappointing, typical "progress." Small stuff but add up to lessen stay quality. "

"Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites is a great hotel that is close to the Mohegan Sun casino, the hotel has a shuttle that goes to and from the casino, it’s a great feature. The hotel also has complementary breakfast and clean rooms. I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends."

"The photos make the hotel appear far nicer than it actually is. It seems to be in the middle of upgrades and renovations, which may explain some of the issues. The elevator’s handrail was damaged and lying on the floor. In my room, the bathroom door was discolored with white spots, the tub was dirty, and the sink drained poorly. The closet was also unclean, and several TV channels did not work. That said, the bed was comfortable, and I had no trouble falling asleep. Breakfast, however, did not live up to the descriptions. If you just want to rest your head, then it's a place for you but if you need the ambiance and appeal, keep scolling."

"forgot credit card at front desk at check in. was never notified while there. Drove an hour back to get card and was told they didnt have access to it. Called next day, card is now missing. Left cell and info (which they already had) and asked for manager to call me back asap. Never got a call. will never stay there again."

"We love the Sound View. As a school social worker, I sometimes REALLY need to reset. There is no better place to do it than here with the most amazing views! We have been coming 3x a year with our pup. Great staff and restaurant! The hotel really tries to accommodate requests, such as a certain room number our dog has gotten used to lol. 10/10 recommend! "

"pool was closed due to being broke; was not listed on site wouldn't have stayed there had we known this shuttle doesn't go to foxwoods only mohegan another downfall "

"Front desk staff were amazing! The bar staff were very attentive and friendly. Rooms are clean, but definitely dated."
