Foxwoods Casino Resort is a gleaming oasis of shopping, dining and gambling in the middle of the lush forests of eastern Connecticut. The resort boasts not just the world's largest bingo hall and other world-class gaming, but also a complex of four hotels, giving guests plenty of options when choosing their accommodations. Travelers looking for a bargain will also find several off-site hotels only a few miles' drive from the casino itself.
The largest and most luxurious of Foxwoods' hotels, the Grand Pequot offers a range of accommodations from 450-square-foot deluxe rooms to 1400-square-foot villas with 24-hour butler service, as well as three different suite designs, all with Jacuzzi jet tubs and flat-screen TVs. The Tower is conveniently located above some of the best dining, shopping and gaming options available, and has its own restaurant on the top floor as well as a salon and spa. Complimentary guest parking, 24-hour room service and high speed internet are available to all guests.
The Great Cedar, which offers deluxe rooms and one-bedroom suites, is just as close to the gaming action as the Grand Pequot and the nearest hotel to the Fox Theater, a perfect place to stay if you're heading to a show. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, complimentary valet parking, 24-hour room service, high-speed internet, indoor pool and fitness center. The suites also offer Jacuzzi jet tubs, bay windows and a wet bar.
The Two Trees Inn is located across the street from the casino complex proper, but offers a complimentary 24-hour shuttle. It also has its own restaurant and lounge, indoor heated pool and fitness center. If you like having a quiet place to take a break from the action while still being connected, this hotel offers rustic comfort for a few dollars less than the on-site towers. High-speed wireless Internet is available throughout the hotel.
The MGM Grand is Foxwoods' newest addition, and is like a separate casino unto itself, with its own gaming area, gourmet restaurants, shopping and the MGM Grand Theater. The AAA Four-Diamond award-winning hotel offers deluxe rooms as well as two types of suites. All rooms offer 24-hour room service, mini-bars, electronic entertainment centers and panoramic forest views.
Bargain-seeking guests can find several hotels in Ledyard, Mystic and other surrounding towns that are just a few minutes away from the casino. Some of these hotels offer free shuttles that run to and from Foxwoods. Often they are significantly cheaper than the on-site hotels. Many small, independently-owned inns and B&Bs are available, as well as chain hotels and motels.
