I would like to be able to share photos of our view after I was guaranteed that our view would not be a parking lot which it was!! I don’t mind spending money for a good location and a view for two nights almost $900 pretty disappointing. The rooms were lovely and clean and central w/ close proximity the Mystic& Main Street

Check in was great, the gentleman at the desk very knowledgeable of the area and happy to provide us with some tips. While the room was clean and cute, this was the last night of our honeymoon and the room was unimpressive being its basically on the street with heavy traffic.

Location was great for really great access to this quaint town. Roll out of bed and cross the bascule bridge (or watch it open- fun for kids)!, tons of great restaurants within 2-3 minute walk. All of the water happenings are visible from the hotel. Breakfast at Sift, a 5 minute walk "must" for great breakfast/ unbelievable croissants! Seaport close by 5 min car ride. Nice high quality rocking chairs on porches. Great restaurant on facility. Down to earth not pretentious. Just a great spot with easy access to the town- great for little kids too! Don't do the chain motel thing, this is worth it!
Bike ride to Groton Long point and Noank.
