East Norwich Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Jul 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

The hotel is a great place for a quick get-away or for a longer stay. Rooms are quiet, no hall noise or room noises heard at all. I'd stay here again, for sure!

Positives: This hotel was clean, quiet, and home-like. Friendly staff, easy parking, clean rooms, great stay!

Negatives: There was nothing to complain about.

I subsequently had a medical emergency with my daughter and had no way to call out and front desk staff would not do anything without me making a trip to the lobby. While rooms were clean, they were poorly maintained with cracks in walls, bathroom door coming off hinge, moldy grout, etc and some staff was overtly surly.

Positives: Free breakfast and pool.

Negatives: Clean but poorly maintained rooms, no cell service.

Value was good for the area. The room itself was very clean and included a refrigerator. I would say not to be put off by the fact that this is not a big hotel chain. Be wary about the fact that the hotel states it charges a 30% mark-up on local and long distance calls made from the room, although, in reality, I was not charged for the 1 local phone call I made. Good for business or pleasure and quite a few great local restaurants.

Positives: Although no restaurant in the hotel itself, there is an excellent choice of eating places to fit all budgets.

Negatives: Statement that there is a 30% markup on all telephone calls, although, I was not charged for the one local call I made.

I stayed here for a business trip to Long Island. The price was very affordable and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and cleanliness of the room. The staff was also very friendly and pleasant to work with and continental breakfast was fresh. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a comfortable clean place to stay for business and are on a budget.

Positives: Clean, comfortable, affordable for Long Island, fresh continental breakfast.

Negatives: Some signs of aging and the heater made some noises.

A nice enough place to stay. Next to a great steak restaurant. Breakfast (complimentary) was adequate. Nice enough.

Positives: Quaint, warm, rustic feel and delightful staff.

Negatives: Hard to negotiate the traffic and facility wireless did not work well in the room.

I liked the hotel, but I think it was further away from my desired location.

Negatives: The guy behind the counter at check in, he was rude.

I didn't realize we were in a busy traffic area - the hotel is a country inn nestled in a wooded area. Perfect for long walks. A wonderful restaurant is on the premises, separate from the hotel - very exclusive fine dining. Highly recommend this hotel for

Positives: It was away from the hustle & bustle  beautiful surroundings - quite.

Negatives: Front desk staff (men only) didn't know the surrounding area very well.

I was reasonably happy with the hotel because it was comfortable, quiet, and affordable. However, it is not well-suited for most business travelers because of the lack of on-site dining and no internet access in the rooms.

Positives: Clean and quiet. Affordable for the area.

Negatives: No internet access!

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 06 May 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

It is pleasant, very clean and quiet. The neighborhood is also very pleasant. I would certainly consider staying there again.

Positives: It was very pleasant there nice setting.

Negatives: There was nothing I didn't like about it.

I grew up on long island and understand the demand simply isn't there, but perhaps if a convenient location such as the east Norwich inn would remodel the hotel and turn it into a motel-style facility.

Positives: Convenience, friendly staff, minimal but functional work out facility.

Negatives: No elevator dated looking.

Being a smoker - it's always disappointing to get booked into a non-smoking facility - but the staff here found me a room with a French door - making their policy far more livable for me. The hotel is charming, but needs some infrastructural updating. The phone system is primitive and sort of expensive to use (although - I have run into far worse). The rooms could use more electrical outlets - today's travelers bring a lot of rechargeable devices with them, and I had to do w/o a couple of lamps to deal with it. Neither of my cell phones worked there (t-mobile and sprint). Overall - pretty good - nice folks and a pretty facility.

Positives: The staff was fabulous.

Negatives: Old phone system and no cell phone reception (on 2 phones).

Although the hotel is rated 2 stars, it is certainly at the high end of that category. The business center is great, with free Internet access and a few computer workstations set up. The fitness center is a relatively large room, much bigger than fitness centers at many 4 star hotels. However, this hotel has not yet taken advantage of this great space -- there is room for many more machines, and they should utilize that. There is an outdoor pool which I didn't have time to use. Cable television in each room with lots of channels. They have a nice breakfast included with your stay. The only thing I would have liked is a choice of soy milk instead of only dairy milk at breakfast, but that's my quirk. They had bagels and muffins, cold cereals, several juices, fresh fruit, coffee and tea. I would stay there again.

Positives: The business center, with free Internet access. Also, a large fitness center. Decent breakfast included.

Negatives: Could use more machines in the fitness center; they have plenty of room available for it.

Clean and quiet. Friendly staff. Good location for access to major highways. Good continental breakfast (American style). Easy access. Adequate free parking.

Positives: Friendly, efficient front desk staff. Clean rooms. Very good location.

Negatives: I found nothing not to like.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Aug 2006 rated 1 out of 10.

Dark, drab, no web access, except in the business center, poor cell coverage inside building. No covered loading unloading, so my things got soaked in the rain. I would not stay there again traveling on business - way too expensive for what you get.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: No web access in room, weak cell phone coverage in building, noisy, no covered loading/unloading, no business traveler friendly at all!

I consider this hotel very good for business travelers as I cater all there needs. Except there is no T-Mobile signal out there as it is in Sub Urban area. But if you have car, this hotel is very good as it is only 2 miles away from market.

Positives: Internet Access, office room where u can check email and take print out for free.

Negatives: Remote location with no T-Mobile signal.

Good location, if you have a car, in a very nice area of Long Island. Staff particularly rude and unhelpful during contacts on the telephone (pre-visit) and during stay. I was traveling with an elderly aunt and would have preferred a first-floor room, since there were no elevators. Although the hotel was clearly empty, the car was late in the morning and evening. We were put on the second floor, up a high staircase with no elevator access. The rooms were clean although the bathrooms were iffy, all in keeping with a 2 star rating.

Positives: Good location in pretty area of Long Island.

Negatives: Unhelpful, rude staff; no elevators, bad for senior travellers.
