"I liked the buffet for breakfast and check in"

Days Inn by Wyndham Southington

8/10 Good

"Clean bright room. Odd thing: the bedside light was connected the the wall switch by the door… but so was the overhead light. So when the big light was on you could turn the bedside lamp on and off, but when the overhead light was off the bedside lamp would not turn on. The room was big and beautiful (with a vaulted ceiling), nicely appointed and super comfortable. Additionally, it was absolutely the best for a dark and quiet sleeping space."

Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great addressed a small issue quickly. The cabin was clean and ready for us, this was a first for me I have never been camping of any kind. What I enjoyed most was the quiet and being away from the everyday hustle, myself and my wife enjoyed the slowdown along with our dog, just being able to recharge and reconnect with each other was well worth it. We had everything we needed and the cabin was stocked with everything. We will definitely return."
