Pristine beaches and coastal wildlife refuges beckon nature lovers to this serene seacoast town. Stargazers flock to Frosty Drew Observatory, while beachcombers explore the shores of Burlingame State Park.
A good basic option in an expensive area. Comfortable motel style rooms. Pool in season. Fire pits which one of the owners lit for us to enjoy. Friendly owner checked us in - I didn’t see a reception. Gave us lots of area recommendations.
We stayed out of season and there were two weekly residents so not really a holiday vibe, but probably will be different over the summer.
Recommend for short stay to see the area.

Amazing place. 100% recommend. Excellent friendly staff and beautiful tranquil surroundings. We loved our stay. Room was spacious and beautiful. If we're in the area we'll book again.

This hotel has one of the best, if not the best, sites in Mystic. Our room had a great view of the river and swing bridge. Whilst there's no elevator and we were on the top floor help with our baggage on arrival and departure were readily and quickly available. Room was clean and comfortable and the bed provided a great night's sleep. Only slight let down was the included "continental" breakfast. But if you want a more varied or larger meal there are plenty of places nearby.

Lovely place, sadly we only booked one night and arrived after dark , so didn't really have chance to use all the amenities, kayak's etc .
The cabin we stayed in was lovely , and great communication from the staff ( Deb ) and recommendations for coffee & breakfast the following morning .
Would stay again if in the area .
