So at this point we've spent $205 for one night, not sure if it's because I went through Groupon why they didn't tell me about this or not. So once we got there they obviously wanted another $100 for security, that I'll receive back but I'll be waiting days for that and we didn't know we had to spend an additional $100 and the $25 resort fee too. We went through Groupon because they didn't charge the resort fee of $25, we did get some perks because of Groupon which was awesome but we couldn't even use the $15 coupon they gifted us at the restaurant we wanted to go to so that was a waste. My boyfriend and I are in our earlier twenties, I'm in between jobs right now so we had just enough to scrap together to go for one nice night alone together for the first time since neither of us have done this before without family. Yeah, there were a couple of nice large sculptures here and there, but for the most part it was just inducements to spend money, as if the room itself wasn't costly enough. The atmosphere was like an airport, plus loud music. And many of the long corridors were narrow and caused bottlenecks in the crowd. Signage was poor, making it difficult to find our way around. No one at the front desk had a map of the huge, confusing complex. We decided not to have dinner there for over $60 a steak (side dishes extra, of course).įor that much money, I would expect elegance and superior service. The breakfast buffet, at nearly $30 a person, didn't even have an omelet station or a waffle machine, and not many other choices. A regular Grande cup of Starbucks coffee was over $5! Each shop and restaurant was a separate entity, not included.

EVERYTHING was extra: meals, entertainment, drinks (unless you were gambling, but I guess I didn't gamble long enough), and VR 'rides.' And the prices were high for mediocre to low quality. We were not allowed to use any other pools, despite paying a $25 per night 'Resort Fee.' We stayed in the Great Cedar section - 1 of 4 towers in the huge complex - and the pool was closed.

But for a total of $925, including taxes and fees, I would expect a lot more to be included in the experience than just a decent hotel room. If you like to gamble all day every day, you'll have a great time. Foxwoods has nearly nothing to do but gamble.
