Saybrook Point Resort & Marina

"We changed our plans and spent all three afternoons at the spa and pool because it was so relaxing and lovely. The outdoor pool overlooked the marina and the indoor pool, sauna and whirpool helped invigorate us. The duck and risotto at the restaurant was excellent. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. We will be back again."

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."
