The Inn at Mystic

Enjoyed our first visit to the Inn at Mystic on a recent road trip. Have visited Mystic many times over the years and I’ve seen this property from the road. Decided to give it a try and although the staff is great, the rooms are average at best and the exterior needs some major care. The roof appears new but there are rotting shingles, clapboards falling off and the loudest A/C unit I’ve ever heard. The food and beer at 21 Rock (the on-site restaurant) was very good but unfortunately the complimentary continental breakfast at the hotel was pretty sad. Given a bit of attention, the Inn at Mystic could be one of the very best in New England. I believe they have the right people and an awesome location, it just needs a little TLC.

Believe all the reviews that say run down, moldy and over rated. View room that barely had a peek a boo view from a filthy balcony. Carpet was stained and room smelled horrible. Too bad, it is a great location and the staff tries hard, but it is it enough to makeup for the rest.

This motel style place needs a lot of money spending on it for renovations. Our King room with Balcony was well proportioned with plenty of comfortable furniture and space to unpack if you were staying longer. The bathroom by contrast was ridiculously small and unsatisfactory. Overall a bit scruffy. The TV didn't work when we got there but the very helpful receptionist came and fixed it. The WIFI never was accessible from our room though. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in the reception area. Not a great breakfast, and the area was too small, shabby, and crowded - it all reeked of "let's do this as cheaply as possible"...if you must stay here, spend the money and get breakfast somewhere else. Bar 21, which is in a separate building on the site, had a live semi-acoustic duo playing on the Saturday night we were there. it was really buzzing, and though the serving staff seemed distinctly under-trained, the food was okay, and we enjoyed the evening. This place is away from the centre of Mystic, but only a short drive from the Mystic Seaport, which is well worth a visit.
