My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary at the Inn at Mystic and we had one of the loveliest times we have spent in our years together. The Inn itself is located on a hill overlooking the Mystic Harbor, but the great location is only part of its many charms.
We spent our weekend in the Gate House, which is a lovely little cottage located on a secluded, woody area of the property. Our room was so cozy and private that we found it hard to leave after our brief stay! It wasn't until we arrived that I learned Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall honeymoon in the cottage where my husband and I were celebrating our years together, and we could not have been more delighted.
Aside from the quaint and rustic accommodations, the Inn's Floodtide restaurant is reason enough alone to visit. Our dinner was superb, and the full breakfast in the morning rounded out a fantastic getaway. I can't wait to come back and would highly reccommend the Inn at Mystic to anyone who appreciates a lovely Inn in a beautiful New England setting.

Let me just say this: Smelly musty rooms, filthy carpeting, suspicious looking bugs, (I'm still itchy from the dirt in the room), double beds referred to as queen.

Inept and rude desk clerks all over seen by owner/manger lacking class and manners. When I tried to talk to her about the bug she snapped at me and then walked away refusing to complete our conversation. With her attitude I surprised anyone vists a second time.

Do not believe the pictures on the internet. I wish I had read more reviews before we booked this dump. It was so bad we cut our New England visit short just to get out of there.

Stay at any other hotel/motel/inn in Mystic, but DO NOT stay at the Inn at Mystic

Have to admit I was a bit nervous after booking my stay and then finding all the bad reviews on this site.

But our stay couldn't have been nicer. We booked the room with the fireplace, jacuzzi and patio overlooking the harbor and Long Island Sound. It was just a few steps away from an overlook and dock. A bit pricey, but not that much more than the Hyatt and Hilton in town. And a far cry from the budget joints piled one on top of another. This was away from it all, where the locals live.

The room was immaculate and cozy. The tea, late-night snack and buffet breakfast the next morning at the inn's restaurant were all outstanding.

Another plus -- two beautiful dogs who hang out in the lobby and help greet guests!

In short, a great jumping-off point to see the sights of southern New England.

This place is in dire need of a makeover. We were shocked at the decor of our room, the size of our room, the condition of our room, and the price we paid for our room. You would be much more comfortable at one of the chain hotels in the area.
