Great experience after moving away from area 30 years ago. The room was nice and the staff was very accommodating, making sure we were set up with extra towels and even putting together a nice goody bag for Christmas morning breakfast since everything was closed for Christmas day. You can't beat the location as we could walk to just about anywhere we wanted. Our kids haven't stopped talking about our great vacation. Thank you.

Feet from everything... Worth the stay. Breakfast is boring but there are many great places to dine in the area. Worth a stay and respond quickly to email inquir

Charming old building houses this quaint, colonial inn. If you want glass elevators, stay in Boston. If you prefer the flavor of a New England seaport, stay at the Whaler's Inn. Rooms are charming and the cleanest you'll find anywhere. The proprietor, Mr. Prisby, has created a warm and welcoming environment. Service is excellent. Our four poster bed was exceptionally comfortable and the room was quiet. Conveniently located..walking distance to all things Mystic. Two thumbs up for this New England gem!

As others have noted, this is a great location for walking around Mystic. The hotel is actually a collection of various buildings of different styles and vintages. We stayed in the Main Building on the third floor. This is a walk-up with no elevator. We took the advice of others and requested a corner room, which was quite spacious. The building is an old, wooden structure with lots of character (did not see any fire sprinklers.) Although it was clean and fairly comfortable, the furnishings and fixtures (TV, etc.) are well past their prime. There were not many guests when we were there, but I could still hear sounds from other rooms so I suspect it could be somewhat noisy during the peak season. The included continental breakfast was convenient, although mostly prepackaged foods. The staff was very friendly and responsive. Parking is very convenient in the courtyard. All in all an OK place, as long as you are not looking for high-end modern luxury.
