    Foxwoods Tacos & Tequila Festival - 06-23-2026…read more Wanted to write a review - Overall, the event had good atmosphere with a fun crowd engagement, good music, and a good variety of drink options. The food was also a highlight, especially the chicken tacos, Cubano, and beef rice bowl. The main drawback was the long wait for food, which took nearly an hour and a half due to limited food stations and line management issues. For future events, adding multiple food locations throughout the venue and starting later in the afternoon or early evening would improve the experience.

After the race, we decided to order food, greeted by Laura at the bar telling us about the menu, making sure we're hydrated soon enough to get food from Melvin. He looks like a cool uncle when you know the food's gonna be good, like he would love, and it was. The mozzarella pole on that cheese was wonderful.

    Foxwoods Resort Casino - This is in the Grand Pequot Tower. The room darkening drapes are full of pinholes. All of the hotel needs an upgrade.

I'd like to highlight the first sentence in particular, if I may: "The Fox Tower offers a modern hotel experience." Modern, huh? It's funny to me because one of the first things we noticed after getting settled into our room was the TV. See, it was immovable - which in of itself isn't all that unusual. But it DOES immediately torpedo any hope of accessing something like, say....an HDMI port for guests to plug-in their iPad, laptop, or whatever to stream from. Speaking of streaming, it's totally impossible to do from these "modern" TVs. Because....they're not Smart TVs. Flat screens? Yes. WiFi ready? Not a chance in hell. Granted, my lament can be aptly filed under "First World Problems". But in 2026, ya gotta admit this is a pretty silly setback. It seems we also apparently got one of the few rooms with a non-functional desk lamp. That's assuming, of course, all the rooms don't suffer from this same issue. Not only were both outlets completely inoperable, the switch to turn on said lamp was missing. I guess the ostensible hole where the button USED to be should have been a warning sign, but....that's what I get for being slightly optimistic. I'd have swapped rooms if we were staying longer than a couple nights. Apart from those two anomalies, the room itself was fine. A bit overpriced due to the holiday weekend? Sure. But considering this IS a resort after all, I can just be grateful we're in Mashantucket and not Las Vegas. Now, for those unfamiliar with the Foxwoods lore, it's technically 3 hotels in one; two towers and a third dormitory known as "Great Cedar Hotel". This becomes apparent the minute you attempt to check into the wrong desk by accident like we did. So, bit of advice: whichever residence you book under, proceed to THAT respective lobby for check in. In hindsight, it seems so obvious. But at the time, we figured they were digitally interconnected. Based on that inventory, combined with the pricing options that populated from lowest to highest, we can safely assume The Fox Tower is the LEAST luxurious of the 3 contenders. That is to say, there are still aspects of luxury sprinkled throughout TFT. But the gaps become more noticeable as you glance at things like.. The In-Room Dining Menu: This one varies tremendously between TFT vs the other two choices. Whilst the former gets an abbreviated edition of Junior's Coffee Bakery's menu, the latter gets a 4 page, full course menu with far more enticing options. The In-house Restaurants: Nearly every fine dining or even remotely fancy restaurant required us to invariably leave TFT and walk all the way to the opposite side of the resort on the Great Cedar side. Not that we don't appreciate a good stroll every now and then. But this is something folks should know prior to booking. The Rooms themselves: Going off the site photos alone, it seems that maybe, just MAYBE....the latter two hotels probably have movable Smart TVs. Didn't realize the privilege of streaming your OWN subscriptions costs extra but...here we are. Oh, btw - their check-out process was plagued with technical difficulties. Ya know how almost every hotel allows you to check out digitally so you can just drop the keys off in the outbox (or better yet, leave them in the room as you exit)? Yeah, no. TFT epically fumbled this one because that email they sent me.....was broken. As in, I clicked the button (multiple times, mind you), only to be greeted by a blank page. Which meant we had to check-out the regular way. How do you #@$! up something as basic as check-out? Don't know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's not like our stay was bad, per se. But when it comes to ranking a resort that's clearly trying to be the Vegas away from Vegas, such consideration goes into my rating. That said, the biggest positives were the check-IN process, the staff, valet service, the extra layer of guest room security, and that huge ass bathroom. Plus, I must admit those dual shower heads were quite nice. Ultimately, we'll return to Foxwoods one day. Just not TFT. Far as luxury towers go, this one's pretty mid. If I'm gonna be paying millionaire prices, I may as well aim for the stars next time around. The Fox Tower is worth 3 spacious showers with dual heads out of 5.

    Good: - conveniently located…read more- next to outlets - lots of table games - near the good food spots (hell's kitchen, david burke) - water refill station near check-in (hidden gem) Bad: - table mins are higher it was $50 for pai gow - blackjack is 6/5, but at fox tower it's 3/2 - shrine club (if you care) is at fox tower - bathrooms have NO ventilation - did not do room cleaning - rooms are old and needs a makeover - gym ran out of water Next time I am staying at the fox towers. 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...)

    My daughter and I stayed here for dance nationals at Foxwoods. A few other dance families also…read morestayed here. I called a week earlier to ask if we could be put near each other at the hotel, and the front desk person kindly said they would put us next to each other. When we checked in, we walked into the lobby. It is very pretty and appears clean. To their credit, they had us next door to our friends. Super cool! It was cool until we realized we were in a construction area. They were remodeling rooms across the hall, and Sheetrock dust was billowing into the hallway. Not cool! We went to the front desk, and they were accommodating and moved us (both rooms) upstairs, away from construction. If you have ever traveled for dance, there's quite a lot of stuff to carry/move. This wasn't fun during a heat wave, but we lugged everything upstairs. The second room was serviceable. We were a bit disappointed that the pool was closed for renovation, but happy that the office suggested their "sister hotel" for swimming. A little inconvenient, but at least there was a pool. Cons: the outdoor doors were not locked to outsiders. Due to the construction in various parts of the hotel, extension cords and propped doors were kind of the norm. Overall we would return.

    After my family checked in, and we're back at the hotel the first evening I went into the shower to…read morestart the water for my child. When I did this I found toe nails and a giant clump of hair. I immediately threw it into the trash and upon washing my hands I went to dry them on a 'clean' towel and found hair that wasn't my family's on it. Not to mention we were only left half a roll of toilet paper. The next morning I went to talk to the front desk and I was told the room would be cleaned that day, we left for the wedding we were attending at 1:30 and when we arrived back at 9pm the room still had not been cleaned and we had had no toilet paper for the entire day. I went and talked to the front desk where I spoke to the assistant GM and he assured me that the GM would call me and that they'd have the room cleaned in the morning. The next day I went to the front desk at 10am and was told the GM wasn't there yet and that she'd call me that day. We left and came back around 2:30 and the room still had not been cleaned. I went to the front desk again and was told the GM 'stepped away' and that for sure she would call me that day. She never called me. They finally had the room clean by 8:30 pm the last day we were there. We were given a dirty room and For 2 days they did nit have it cleaned even though I spoke to multiple management members and tried to escalate the issue. This is beyond unacceptable. And now after being checked out and offered no compensation, no call back from the GM which I was assured would happen it seems like this hotel does not care at all about having guests check into dirty rooms and not having them cleaned or the situation rectified at all.
