I stayed off-season in a lovely room. It offered all the amenities, despite having soap, conditioner, and shampoo in containers hanging on the wall of the tub; rather like a health club. The front desk went out of their way to be friendly and gracious. Always smiling, happy to reserve cabs. They even offered me a ride to the train... More

Overall, we enjoyed our one night stay in Mystic. The Whaler's Inn had some very good qualities: clean, comfortable bed, close to downtown, nice breakfast, and only about $100 night. However, there was just one overwhelming negative that likely would have me not returning. The room that we stayed in (Stonington building) smelled very musty. If they would have just... More

We stayed at the Whaler's Inn for a weekend in Mystic. It was in a perfect location- we could easily walk to the little downtown area and restaurants. The staff was friendly and lovely, and the Inn has a quaint New England vibe. The room itself was really dumpy and gross. The sheets were cheap 50/50 blends. The nasty brown... More

From the time I made the reservations a couple of months ago, I was looking forward to our stay at the Whaler’s Inn. I wanted a place with local character, and from the reviews I’d read that’s where we needed to stay. My only question was, since the hotel is comprised of three different buildings, each with their own personality,... More

We just spent a long weekend at the Whaler's Inn. Very nice, rooms were exacty as described, and our room was quiet and comfortable. The continental breakfast served is pretty robust, complete with good coffee!! Excellent location - you can walk across the bridge to everything; Seaport is a 2-minute drive or maybe a 10-minute walk? (we drove) and most... More
