Foxwoods - need hotel info

Army Eye · #1 02-23-2005, 05:39 AM

So I'm making the trip to Foxwoods for the New England Poker Classic. Apparently Foxwoods has absolutely no rooms available already (sigh), so I'm left looking for a hotel nearby.

The only things that are important to me are that the hotel has a roof, and has regular shuttle service to Foxwoods.

The one place I'm aware of is the Hilltop Inn. Their website mentions that they have free limo rides on Friday and Saturday, but gives no indication as to the frequency of the limo rides, or what one is supposed to do on other days.

So, folks who know the area, will Hilltop suit my needs, and/or is there a better option. Any info would be appreciated.

Check out the B&B's in the area. The prices are much less than the hotels. Some of them are less than a mile away.

Try the AmericInn in Griswold, CT - about 10 minutes away, brand new, reasonably priced and comp breakfast. I know they have a shuttle but you should check on how often it runs.

Thanks guys, I will look into all these.

B+Bs less than a mile away sounds pretty good. How would one find out which B+Bs are this close?

I'm still an advocate of sleeping underneath an empty poker table with a sleeping bag.

But seeing as how its the NEPC, I bet all the tables will be full [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
