Saybrook Point Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean room and property with a gorgeous marina view. Friendly and helpful staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and intend to return."

Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

8/10 Good

"Nice room,"

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."

Liberty Inn

Old Lyme Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice room, clean and comfortable"

Super 8 by Wyndham Old Saybrook

8/10 Good

"Good area and served purpose for the price. Rooms could use some cosmetic updates."

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."
