Answer-check the hotel directly when the system is sold out as the status can change every hour even on days that are sold out months in advance. You never know what can affect travelers with delayed flights, weather or change of plans.
Yes – it can be very busy and a little preplanning is good. Watch periodically for specials and availability for that weekend as it changes from none to some every week, prior to the holiday.
Do not let the word “January” Fool you-it can be the best of times. Not heavily crowded and this coming weekend the temps should be in the HIGH 40′s. You can be outdoors during the day, hiking, seal watching, taking in the view from the Indian Museum or Gillette Castle ridge……nights never stop with regional waterview fine dining, dixie music and a brunch in the village or lots of actions at the casinos. You can be as busy or as relaxed with a book and a glass of wine in front of the roaring fire in our restaurant. Come and experience winter in Groton!

What is one way to find a good deal at the hotel? I would say the best way is the extremes book really early or take a chance on booking really late for a date. Early bird specials -like a super saver airline seat can be found or last minute if the hotel has a change in last minute inventory can result in some really good specials. I would say the Early Bird is always good and the last minute may also result in a highest rates
Just make that arrangement with the front desk and sign the paperwork for the extension and rate prior to 11am on Sunday morning and enjoy the entire day in the area and get home just as fast behind the traffic rather than sitting in the traffic on the ride home!
I look and see you are sold out many dates in July and August what should I do? We often are sold out as we have guests that stay 1-3 weeks in the apartments and suites. However call and place your name on waitlist as they often finish up business early and we have last minute openings when that happens and we will call anyone on the waitlist when that happens.
When I want to book a hotel-when do I know if it is the hotel or not (i.e. a secondary source) when I am booking.
Answer: Your best avenue when booking is to KNOW THE HOTEL INTERNET ADDRESS. If you watch the fine print you will often see the site you are on does not belong to the hotel and that should bring a question to your mind. If you do not know the hotel’s direct access internet address call the hotel directly and ask them. Often the information is diluted or with errors the further you get from the source, like the old childhood game of “telephone” and the last person repeating the information is not even close to the reality!
I want to stay with you but there are lots of dates I see are already full, what should I do? Call our front desk 800-452-2191 and waitlist as the availability can change from being sold out to having rooms available – it happens much more often than you think. We check the waitlists weekly….
HOW DO I GET A GOOD PACKAGE FOR THE WEEKEND?
