Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

8/10 Good

"Nice place !"

Water's Edge Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"They upgraded us to a balcony and there was a lot to do there. The pool and hot tub were nice too!"

Saybrook Point Resort & Marina

8/10 Good

"The staff are very welcoming. A small point but the hot water in the bathroom is just warm and takes a time to arrive...."

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."

Old Lyme Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice room, clean and comfortable"

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."
