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.

Nice place. Didn't care for the clock alarm going off at 6am, staff should insure those aren't set since the guest won't be familiar with it.

Check in was great, the gentleman at the desk very knowledgeable of the area and happy to provide us with some tips. While the room was clean and cute, this was the last night of our honeymoon and the room was unimpressive being its basically on the street with heavy traffic.

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.

Easter getaway

This was our 1st trip to Mystic. We enjoyed the location of the hotel, we had a delicious brunch at the hotel restaurant on Easter day. The hotel is within walking distance to shops and restaurant’s downtown. The hotel staff was friendly and informative.
