We had booked a petite suite for me and my husband for the 3rd and then I had 2 free nights so I booked those for the 3rd for my mom and aunt and then 4th for all 4 of us. Stayed in the Grand Pequot Tower both nights. Took my aunt and my mom for her birthday. Yeah, there were a couple of nice large sculptures here and there, but for the most part it was just inducements to spend money, as if the room itself wasn't costly enough. The atmosphere was like an airport, plus loud music. And many of the long corridors were narrow and caused bottlenecks in the crowd. Signage was poor, making it difficult to find our way around.

No one at the front desk had a map of the huge, confusing complex. We decided not to have dinner there for over $60 a steak (side dishes extra, of course).įor that much money, I would expect elegance and superior service. The breakfast buffet, at nearly $30 a person, didn't even have an omelet station or a waffle machine, and not many other choices. A regular Grande cup of Starbucks coffee was over $5! Each shop and restaurant was a separate entity, not included. EVERYTHING was extra: meals, entertainment, drinks (unless you were gambling, but I guess I didn't gamble long enough), and VR 'rides.' And the prices were high for mediocre to low quality.

We were not allowed to use any other pools, despite paying a $25 per night 'Resort Fee.' We stayed in the Great Cedar section - 1 of 4 towers in the huge complex - and the pool was closed. But for a total of $925, including taxes and fees, I would expect a lot more to be included in the experience than just a decent hotel room. If you like to gamble all day every day, you'll have a great time. Foxwoods has nearly nothing to do but gamble.
