Wonderfully Comfortable Hotel
Such a wonderfully comfortable hotel from the lovely lobby with fireplace and large seating area and coffee, tea and hot coco and fresh cookies when you get in. The room was very comfortable and spacious and the location is ideal for walking the main shopping street in Mystic and to walk to the other attractions and water. Really lovely visit.
