So people were “self-policing.” I felt bad for staff, there were only 3 people checking in guests, at a desk that could have had at least 10. It was over an hour - it looked bad too, because it went all the way into the casino, and there was no direction from staff telling people where line formed. We arrived at around 2:30pm and stood in a giant line of hundreds waiting to check in.

Our main impression was that they are very understaffed and unorganized.

My wife and I went on Nov 5th-6th, 2023, to see Bill Burr at Fox Towers. 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.
