Re: Uncasville CT
3-ish, and I guess I better cancel my Days Inn reservation and switch to the comfort inn.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.

Re: Uncasville CT
your staying pretty far from Mohegan.....a good 20 plus miles.....there is a comfort Inn in Norwich. I'll see if i can find something closer for ya!!!LIPH wrote:Comfort Inn in Mystic, $64.46 for AAA members. That's even cheaper than the "mature traveler" (over 50) rate. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be old.

The closer you get to Mohegan the more the room cost goes up.
However, for Larry Mystic is heading north instead of south, so there's the option to look toward New London and Groton. Hard to beat that AAA rate at Comfort Inn. Hope the place is decent....

It's headed toward home for us in New England and it's cheap, so it works.

I just booked it because of that AAA rate - most Comfort Inns are OK - it's just for one night, as long as there are no crawly thingsSchoolGirlHeart wrote:14 miles, 20 minutes, and $65 cheaper.....TommyBahama wrote:your staying pretty far from Mohegan.....a good 20 plus miles.....there is a comfort Inn in Norwich.

Re: Uncasville CT
I almost buy a ticket to a Buffett show for the difference between Mohegan and Comfort Inn....ScarletB wrote:I just booked it because of that AAA rate - most Comfort Inns are OK - it's just for one night, as long as there are no crawly thingsI'm good to go. Someone let me know if theres a big change of where people are staying. I toyed with just staying at Mohegan but thought better of it!

Re: Uncasville CT
I'm staying at the MGM at Foxwoods. Anyone else staying there?
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Re: Uncasville CT
yes!!!......but i was trying to help them find something that is closer to the direction people are coming from instead of going past Norwich and coming back to Mohegan by 10 to 20 miles....that way when they leave in the AM they are closer to home....instead of doing 80 miles down and back i'd assume twice...check in.....i was looking to keep it around 20-30 miles....check in on the way continue to Mohegan and at least they are headed in the right direction the next day for home.Thats for people coming from the North......aeroparrot wrote:Does Norwich border New London?
