Can’t beat this hotel for a stay in Mystic! Clean, modern and a hint of casual beach luxury made it extra special! the free cookies were a delight if you are lucky to snag one, and the coffee and tea at the ready was a bonus for our tired minds late afternoon! Great gathering spaces too if you need some time away from the room and outside!

From the check in to the check out, the process was fantastic. The staff was always attentive, greeting us with a smile and a 'yes I can do that' attitude. The hotel was very clean, well appointed, close to everything in town, easy on site parking. The rooms were big, clean, bed comfortable, bathroom had plenty of space to lay our toiletries on. Cant wait to come back

Had a great couple nights at the Whaler's Inn. We stayed in the main house. The rooms were so lovely. There were thoughtful amenities, such as a complimentary coffee bar and delicious chocolate chip cookies in the lobby and glasses of local winery wines for sale. We were here for my sister's wedding and had a really great stay. You genuinely cannot beat the location (plus parking included!!) -...See More
