Melanie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The place wasn't terrible and the staff was pleasant. The name and photos are misleading. This is basically a motel trying to seem like an inn or small hotel. It looks like the type of place that attracts a questionable clientele, but because it's Old Saybrook, they probably get a lot of wedding/event guests. The room itself was clean and pleasantly furnished, but the one easily accessible outlet was worn out and chargers kept falling out. The tub had a large crack in it (we did not use it). It was overall fine if you're staying for those reasons or a long distance travel break, but if you're looking for a couples weekend/nice place to stay, this isn't it.

I have stayed here a number of times, and each time the room has been spotless and smells fresh. The staff is very friendly and always offers to help in some way, whether it's to get the snow off my car or provide bottled water. I will be staying here again!

Parking was very convenient, and the property is pet-friendly with a nice grassy area in the back for pets to relieve themselves. The room was clean and staff were friendly, although queen size bed felt like twin xl but overall, a pleasant and hassle-free stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pics are not what the rooms look like. Worn and tired. Mildew or mold in bathroom ceiling and upper wall. Way overpriced for the establishment and amenities. Asked for refund when arrived said not what expected and said couldn't do that due to third party booking. When I woke up in am saw small black bug on side of sheet and advised clerk checking out. He insists the rooms are clean and not a bedbug. Google search suggests might be. Left bedclothes behind just in case and luggage will stay in garage when get home. Can't chance it. Said manager will look at room and call me, no call yet to confirm or deny type of bug. Your call whether to stay there or not, me never again.

Room could have been cleaner. The floor was dirty. The room also looked worn and in need of updating. The tub faucet dripped constantly, but the shower was nice. Staff was friendly. I was surprised they don’t offer daily housekeeping. Bed was comfortable. It was great that the room had a microwave and a fridge. It was not warm and inviting at all. Definitely wouldn’t stay more than one night.
