Clean and secure with a nice pool. Staff is amazingly friendly, helpful, and responsive and I'd go back just for that. Ambiance is a bit lacking as the place feels like a college dorm or nursing home that was re-decorated into a hotel. And I would have liked real furniture rather than shelves. Also, I don't care for hotel rooms where this sink is in the room (as this one was), but that's just a personal preference. It's a convenient drive to downtown Mystic.

This is a charming Inn located in the heart of lovely downtown Mystic, CT. They go above and beyond with their hospitality. My husband ordered flowers for the room and they were gorgeous! Sent from the talented local florist. They have a glorious award winning restaurant which is located on the ground level called, “The Shipwright’s Daughter.” This was one of the best meals we have ever had. The service, staff and food were truly memorable …Bravo! We can’t wait to come back to this wonderful town. We will be sure to stay @ The Whaler’s Inn and can’t wait to dine here again. Thank you!

Our room was small, overlooking the parking lot; hardly the elegance we had expected. Biggest problem was that the HVAC could not be controlled, even with help from the front desk crew, who had remote access. If you go, be sure you know where your room is on the property. That said, the location is terrific and the staff are very helpful. The Shipwright's Daughter is great for breakfast and dinner.

Precious, historic hotel with updated rooms and incredibly comfortable beds! Also, they’ve recently opened a new meeting space. We used The Barber for a 2-day retreat and the space, service and food was all great! I would recommend to business clients looking for retreat locations.

We stayed one night in the Inn’s new building. The staff were welcoming and the hotel was clean and beautiful. The king room was spacious with lovely decor. The bed was situated perfectly so that the side closet to the wall had plenty of room away from the wall. The hotel provided nice amenities - coffee, water etc. It was easy to explore the local shops and restaurants within footsteps of our room.

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.
