This hotel was excellent. The hotel room was spacious, nicely furnished, comfortable and quiet.  The hotel and room were very clean.  There was a lovely flower garden along the entrance walk.  The staff were very helpful.  The room was great value for the price.  As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe. I would stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay

We needed to find a hotel for the night in a span of an hour and the Golden Star Inn was available. It gave me a camping vibe which I loved. Rooms were spacious but need to be upgraded. Comfortable for the evening.

Good location

This was once a nice hotel, but has become very dated and in some disrepair. But for a one night stay to go to nearby casinos, was OK. Large rooms and in a quiet neighborhood. There are other hotel chains nearby that for a similar price are more up-to-date.

Large rooms but dated motel

So we spend our first Night at the Gold Star Inn & Suites. Inside its a little dark and the Staff doenst looked motivated but friendly. The Floors reminded me like those in Horror Movies. After we took the Elevator to the first Floor, we smelled a lot of Weed. Our Room was cozy, looked a little bit like 80`s Hotel Rooms. For One Night it was OK for the Price, but i wouldnt stay there for a Week or so.

Cheap Hotel/Motel...could get a new Paint

The balcony was run down. The windows did not have screens. The sliding doors to the balcony did have screens but they were torn in several places. The coffee table was in poor shape and needs to be replaced. One of the chairs in the living room area had several burn holes in them. Both of the bath towels were disgusting looking. They were stained with what looked like blood!! I was very disappointed that one of the jets in the whirlpool tub in our room was broken. There was a TV in the living room and bed area but only one TV remote. There is free internet but it only worked somewhat in the bathroom! The room was large as we got a king suite. That is the only thing that seemed to be true of the booking. I would not stay here again.

Do not reserve a room here!

Stayed here as was first listed on travel site.  Place was old key cards did not work and they had to rest the door.  Crumbs in the bed.  No breakfast as advertised.  And explain to me how you have a nonsmoking hotel but smoking rooms.

Place was more than half empty but placed someone in room next door.  Was loud.

Old cheap false advertising

The only positive this I can say is the room had plenty of room. I can deal with an outdated dirty room, but when I pay for something I expect it. I paid for a jacuzzi room and got a room with a small whirlpool tub. Definitely not the picture of the room I chose. That's what I get for paying in full non refundable. Now I see why that was. Customers do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to not stay here, it's worth the extra money to  get what you pay for.

I did not get what I paid for

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!! This rancid hotel is $49 at most.  Absolutely disgusting!! The sidewalk are broken up and unsafe.  Upon entering the bldg is a foul stench and it just proceeds to get worse.  Rooms are filthy with appliances older than me that barely work.  Furniture is ripped and stained. Sheets and towels are stained and ripped.  This place hasnt has a good cleaning on ages. The smell is overwhelming and putrid!!!! Staff is unhelpful and has no regard for the customers. 

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!!

This place is 100% outdated and not maintained well. The carpets were tacky, so don’t walk around barefoot in the room. Ripped blankets, possible blood on the wall by the sink, and the A/C did not work at all. It was a miserable, hot night. No one even showered because the shower was very questionable and looked worse than the showers in a college dorm.

Stay away

The staff does not communicate well at all.  I had to stay in Groton for a few weeks from a business trip (stuck here since COVID-19) and asked for folio/receipt of entire stay.  Each week I asked for receipt and was assured I would receive at final check out.  Well, after a few weeks, I checked out and because of my payment methods (even though the room was under my name), they refused to give the folio/receipt in order for me to submit my business expense report. WHY?!?!??
HEATER was cold air only (even after hard reset), faucet leaked and soaked floor, microvave from the 70's, cobwebs.  Staff repaired faucet but insisted heater was working fine. Not sure how that conclusion was at all possible.  I bought a small heater at walmart.
Cleaning services, while they did not speak English at all, were polite but murderous to obtain towels and toilet paper.  They do not actually "clean" especially in light of COVID-19.  Don't touch anything in lobby.
Walls are paper thin, so you hear doors slam, the drug deals and assaults/abuse next door! (NO LIE).
Only reprieve is that location is good. Stop&Shop, Walmart, gas, pizza/sub shop and park nearby as well as major and minor highways.
Laundry in basement (it's a scenario out of a horror movie, but they work!)
Weekly rate (direct from hotel) is much cheaper than daily rate posted on travel  sites.
Free WIFI but horrible signal.
VERY large rooms (ie versus nearby Windsor or Flagship).
