6/10 Good

Aesthetically but not functionally pleasing
Paper thin walls and a lot of noise from the street and adjacent rooms; bathroom and shower were unfunctionally small.

Loved it!
We had a terrific time at the Whaler's Inn. The room was clean and had a retro, old-fashioned feel. The hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants in downtown Mystic and just feet away from the river and Mystic's famous drawbridge. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we're back in Mystic.

Beautiful Inn in the middle of town & close to everything. Bathroom was a little small, but it met all of our needs. We would stay here again if we ever make it back here.
