Top Connecticut River Museum Hotel Reviews

Saybrook Point Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great! The restaurant was delicious, the lounge was great, the room was amazing and to top it off the view from our hotel was incredible. The staff were so generous and accommodating. We went for a long weekend/anniversary celebration. I wish we stayed longer and took advantage of the rest of the amenities the hotel has to offer. We will definitely go back."

Old Lyme Inn

8/10 Good

"Very pretty inn with spacious rooms. Everything was very comfortable but there was not a lot of service in the building. Couldn’t reach anyone from the room as they left a cell phone number that nobody answered. Our room was on the second floor so they provided someone to help with luggage but nobody to help when checking out. In a very pretty area with cafe Flo across the street in a museum. Highly recommend for lunch. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated a coffee maker in the room and either a mini fridge or at least ice on our level. Lots of walking up and down stairs but other than that, the location was close to many restaurants and the Essex dinner train."

Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff. Convenient location."

Copper Beech Inn

8/10 Good

"Rooms were nice, restaurant was nice and staff was great in restaurant. We picked this hotel because they have a restaurant and a bar for a drink after dinner, it was 8:30 and he was closing the bar he said it was no problem, he made the drink and gave us our bill at the same time did not talk at all and a little rude. I also read they have live music and they did not."

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Old Saybrook Westbrook

8/10 Good

"Had nice clean room for our one night stay. Property appeared to be very well maintained. Would be nice to add a small coffee/hot water machine to room."

James Pharmacy Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The fireplace was lovely and the room was cozy and attractive. The bathroom was spacious and clean, however we weren’t able to locate any extra t.p. I would advise people that the staircase going up to the rooms is quite steep. We were able to manage ok, but anyone with difficulty with stairs would have a challenge. The breakfast voucher for breakfast was great and we enjoyed a lovely meal. We also had a wonderful time at The Kate at a Blues concert. Overall, very satisfied with our overnight stay."
