Probably one of the most noticeable buildings in the small town of North Stonington, a hotel with a steady influx of guests, most of which on the way to Foxwoods who want to spend the night gambling and return to a comfortable environment. The Belissimo Grande hotel has created a tranquil, authentic Italian atmosphere with the amenities of a five star hotel. An indoor pool and spa which compliment gorgeous rooms, with a free limo service running to and from Foxwoods all day and night. Although the prices are relativity high for anything but a standard room, they do match rates from the two surrounding hotels. Service is also good as employees conduct themselves very professionally.

Hilltop Inn and Suites, another establishment taking advantage of the large amount of passerby traffic to Foxwoods Casino, not as exceptional as it's competition down the road. Although the prices are similar to the Belissimo Grande and also offers a shuttle service to Foxwoods, thelodgings are not as nice. The rooms are very plain with little luxuries for the cost of the stay. The service is acceptable, but many customers have had problems with miscellaneous fees added to their bill.

A small place, sometimes missed by travelers fresh off the highway, but Cedar Park in is a great find. Located at the 184 Rotary, it the cheapest and smallest of the surrounding hotels with only 66 rooms. But don't let the price fool you, the hotel/motel boasts phenomenal service along with extremely clean rooms, but no swimming pool.
