Receptionist was very nice but never texted when our room was ready. The room is nice but not worth the amount of money paid for it. Stayed in hotels for half the money and were 5 times as nice including amenities.

The Whalers Inn was quite lovely. For the cost of our room though, I would have thought it would have been a bit bigger. There was literally nowhere to put our bathroom belongings, which makes getting ready quite difficult. Overall the hotel has a fantastic location, everything within walking distance to the wonderful downtown of Mystic. I would recommend staying here if you are traveling to Mystic.

Very professional and informative check in. Staff provided clear instructions on how to reach them anytime. Parking was easy and readily available on site. Very walkable and great restaurants very close. We did not eat at the onsite restaurant and regret after hearing raves and smelling wonderful things coming from the kitchen. Next time. Room was clean and well decorated. Carpets in hallways and stairs could use use some attention. A little loud early mornings with delivery trucks but we were located right near everything so expected. Only hiccup our room keys did not work initially but the staff quickly rectified and brought us working keys. Would stay again for more exploring for sure.
