Great spot for water view...Paul's Pasta next door in an institution and the area has charm if you ignore some of the run down, vacant and blighted buildings. Staff is very nice and friendly.

The property was not as advertised. I do not recommend staying here, we ended up getting a different hotel at the Hampton nearby. We were charged twice for the hotel room as well and are having a hard time getting this resolved with no one answering the phone at the desk.

Weekend getaway

It was a good overall experience no complaints really. The top of the fridge was very dirty and the place had a very strong bleach smell as well. The walls needed a little more cleaning, but it was a decent little place to say right by the ocean for the weekend.

No one was there to check me in. There was a phone number on door to call, but no one answered. A RESIDENT of hotel called a back up person, but after a few min I left. People walking around that looked like they were on drugs. Wonder how many rooms are for “residents”. Strongly suggest a different hotel.

The hotel was clean, and staff was very friendly and helpful! Definitely needs updates. We had a kitchenette with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. NO silverware, coffee cups, glasses. 1 pan, 2 bowls, 1 plate, 1 spatula. Great if you're passing through but not long term.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had to wait to check-in because our room was not ready even thought it was 6:45 pm. The room had no windows. The heat sounded like a jet plane every time it came on. The people above our room sounded like big foot most of the night. The handles on the bathroom vanity and living room cabinets were broken. The blinds to the back door were broken. Pretty shabby to say the least. NOT what the website showed, even the word "INN" was missing from the sign outside. I would never stay there again, especially at over $100.00 per night. We actually left 1 night early and paid for the room.

The Thames Inn & Marina is a classic motel on the waterfront in Groton, CT. We were there to visit my son in the Navy, and it was incredibly convenient to the base. It's a more historical part of Groton but we never felt unsafe or worried about our car. We actually really enjoyed the charm of the area. Getting checked in was a bit bumpy, as our room wasn't ready, but they bent over backwards to make it right for us, and when we needed supplies in the room they delivered them right to us. The room is basic, but it has a full kitchenette, a firm bed, comfy chairs, and a clean bathroom, and really that's all we needed. The weather was delightful and we were able to leave the windows open, and outside the door you could see right over the marina to the water. Don't come here looking for the Ritz, but on the other hand you're also not having to pay Ritz prices. We have no regrets about staying here, and would do so again. It also looks like they are working hard on upgrading it, so it should only become nicer in the future. It is one of the most affordable options in the area, it's safe, it's clean, and it's in walking distance of nice restaurants. It's definitely worth staying at, in my opinion, and we enjoyed our time there and the chance we had to see our son!

I made a last minute decision to come here, and am I ever so glad I did! The staff is so sweet, and the room is like a studio apartment. Great deal for the price. The pet fee is low and the river is right outside the door and you can watch the ships go by. What a gem!
