Places to stay close to Foxwoods?

[jkeats]

Going to be in CT at my inlaws for T-Giving and I want to get out of there on Friday and head to Foxwoods. But...Foxwoods rooms are sold out. Are there any hotels nearby that are recommended? Or - anyone have any advice on how to score a room at Foxwoods? I've never been there, so don't have any player card or anything. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks,
