    Can't say enough good things about this place. This is our second time going and it got even better…read morethan the last! It was our son's birthday and we told the waitress at breakfast and she went and got him munchkins. Such a sweet gesture. From the parking being included into your stay, to the convenience of using the wrist band to buy food, and every activity being near each other, this is such a great family getaway spot. We first thought it was going to be lame and not modern or up to date, but we couldn't have been more wrong. We also love the fact that every family staying there was for the waterpark and other activities and it isn't just a random hotel with a waterpark. Also the waterpark has areas and slides for every age. My son that hates thrills and rides went on Pequot plunge 8+ times! He def conquered a fear while being here. We will be back!

    Let's just start off for anyone that wants to skip over what is said in detail in the categories I…read morefeel are most important. Room: 5/5 Waterpark: 3/5 Other activities: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Staff: 5/5 Value 2/5 Most families are going here for the waterpark, right? I didn't even know there was mini golf or gem hunting inside as this was our first ever visit to a GWL. For a brand new GWL and having to compete with the likes of places like Kalahari also springing up, I thought it was pretty lackluster. No racing slides, no drop slide. And even the "coaster" slide was over way too fast. Why didn't many of these stretch across the entire roof area? A lot of that portion in the middle seems wasted, even if the excuse is that the wave pool gets in the way. The lazy river might be one of the shortest I've ever experienced. The entire place was clean (although had a sewage smell in the back at times) and we enjoyed our time, I just expected ssssoooo much more and was disappointed by its size. But everything else, WOW. The food was excellent, did they steal the Pizza Hut recipe? I believe they have a partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings although I did not try those and the FatBurger partnership was star of the show. I was going to give it 4/5 stars for lack of healthy options but when I returned a burger that was supposed to be a double to the counter, the guy working was so nice about it and even said something that cracked me up, "you can throw that back at me if this one isn't a double". Just about every interaction with GWL staff was a five star experience and they go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time, it's Disney-esque. We loved the breakfast buffet also but after tip, doing this every morning is a $100 experience for a family of four. One of the many reasons the value gets knocked down a ton. The options were plentiful and it definitely made me LOL when I saw chicken nuggets and mac n cheese at 8 AM. They know their clientele. The other activities caught me off guard, even though every single thing is an upcharge. The pricing on the video games rubbed me the wrong way the most. You can always math them out and you are getting little value playing like 8 games for twenty bucks. The minigolf and bowling are both really great values for a quick experience. And the smallest gem mining bag costing under $15 was also a great experience. But everything else is fairly overpriced. Before you get to the waterpark and have breakfast, you may have already dropped an additional $250 on the day. This place knows how to open a wallet up but then it leaves the parents dissatisfied once its all over. The activities in the lodge are all free and I posted an idea of what takes place throughout a day. Don't miss the Luna story at bedtime, that was one of the best things I've ever seen outside of Florida theming. Our Wolf Den was the perfect size, even if the full beds scream "we wanted to save a few bucks". The kids always love little theming areas like this, they told me they just wished the lights could dim in there. It would be cool to have a nighttime effect with the way the walls are painted. No microwave in room but there is one down the hall for everyone to use. This isn't a "lets go every month kind of place". It may end up being a once or maybe even every other year kind of experience for us. Those very well off won't feel the pinch as much as we did, and I'll definitely never go during a school vacation week or holiday. It was busy enough and I thought we went on an off peak time, I can't even imagine the zoo this becomes during those times as some other reviews reflect.

The bed was on the firmer side and the pillows were terrible, super flat! The TV was sooo small (32 in)! The room had a fridge which froze everything we put inside. The whirlpool jets were weak and the tub took about 30 min to fill. I was disappointed that they didn't honor my Hilton gold membership because I booked through a third party. If you're going to Foxwoods it's super convenient, 5 min away. The restaurant in the lobby had a breakfast buffet for $16.95/person. Not sure if I'd stay again; pricey for what you got!

For a Hilton Hotel, I was pretty disappointed the colors, rug, and the furniture remind me of my grandmothers house/guest room. It doesn't really give me the upscale premium room I'd expect for a Hilton. Here's some things I noticed, - Grout around the edges of the tub is brown/black/green not white and is wet and the corners are slimy!! -The bed is slightly uncomfortable it feels like a cheap piece of foam - The TV is 32" 720p TV, sitting on a dresser that makes it look ridiculous, this TV is easily 8-10 years old if not more. I'm not expecting much for a hotel TV but I can't believe how poor quality it is. Overall 3/5 underperforming Hilton Hotel, only stay for purely Foxwoods convenience.

Rooms are a bit dated and could use a makeover. Casino check in was easy and centrally located. Would stay here again. If they want to compete with all the new casinos they will need to drive renovations and better perks.

It was so incredible to get off the road, get lost once, and find the right spot and the nice man tell me where to put my car. I never had to lug through the parking garage to find my car, the nice men brought it. Tip well, these vallets are incredible. The actual lobby was very clean, and has lots of space. Huge check in area, I would be scared to see it full. Listen to the people at the desk for elevator directions, I got on the wrong one and it was awful. Just so much longer.... The room was huge, and had many places to sit. The TV had a guide channel, if you enjoy finding something to watch. There is a locked door leading outside, which freaked me out until I figured out it was well locked and couldn't accidentally be opened. The bathroom is also huge, but very slippery if you're not careful. There is a mat with the towels and some grab bars on the tub so I suspect the slippery-ness is known. The toilet isn't a Pre-K reject, and actually appropriate for an average adult. (Probably not if you have joint issues...)

The ambiance at Scorpion Bar is nice. The lightening is nice and the decor is cool. My friend ordered a mango mojito and I ordered a virgin mojito which was surprisingly very tasty and refreshing. It did take a while for our food order to be taken. One of the bartenders said she would come back to take our food order after finishing a round of drinks, but then never came back so we had to ask another bartender to take our order after about 10 minutes of waiting. We ordered the nachos with ground beef. Those were pretty good, I liked how cheesy they were. For our main meal, we decided to get two tacos each and the birria quesadilla. The tacos were good! My favorite was the Baja fish taco. It was very flavorful and one of the best fish tacos I've had in CT. I was disappointed in the birria quesadilla. It was just OKAY. It was pretty pricey for just the quesadilla and no sides. I didn't think the meat was seasoned enough. The last item we got was the fried ice cream for dessert. We got it because the bartender said it was a large portion and was pretty good. It was NOT that goood. It was extremely large...like almost too big. The fried dough that covered the ice cream was very sugary and wasn't warm and the ice cream was very plain. I would not recommend. Overall, I think if you are looking for a restaurant at the casino with good ambiance, good drinks and decent food, I would recommend Scorpion Bar.
