10/10 Excellent

"Different experiences"

The Spa at Norwich Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I visited the Norwich Inn & Spa for our anniversary, and we had such a wonderful time! We started our day at the spa with a couples massage, sauna, and pool time before enjoying a delicious lunch at the hotel restaurant. We then took the complimentary shuttle to Mohegan Sun for the evening and had a great breakfast the next morning. Every staff member was so attentive, kind, and welcoming. It truly made our anniversary extra special. We can’t wait to plan our next trip!"

"What a wonderful experience, from the time of arrival to checkout."

Hyatt Place Uncasville - Casino Area

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. No shuttle service to the casino weekdays. The complimentary breakfast was OK ... not a lot of choices. While I didn't expect real table ware, the low quality paper plates and utensils were a negative. Average quality paper plates and utensils would have been appreciated."
