The house itself is absolutely beautiful…read more Approaching the house is a well appointed garden and steps up to a wrap around porch with a lovely gazebo that would be perfect for relaxing with a drink and listening to the birds in warm weather. From the porch, you also get a peek at the Mystic River and the Mystic Seaport. (I could see the Mayflower which was on a lift at the seaport for repairs-absolutely charming.) When you walk through the front door, you are greeted by artwork, books, and a parlor off to the right. There is a baby grand piano, tuned and ready to be played in the parlor. I just loved all the hand painted details by a local artist. It is a cozy, happy room. Walk straight through the front foyer and you enter the dining room which has coffee, teas, and water available 24/7. There was a plate of cookies on the table that were home made and out of this worldA scrabble game was set and ready to go. A well rounded breakfast menu was posted and you can order whatever you like, all home made including the granola. I am gluten free and Josephine was so accommodating. I even discovered a new GF bread that I thought was better than most I have tried. Josephine has a talent in the kitchen to say the least. Everything was delicious. There is a lot of local information on where to go and what to do. OK- now, the Mermaid Room This is not a large room but it has everything you need (including a little fridge) and the hand painted walls are an absolute study. To think one young lady produced all that art, a talent to be admired. There are 3 more rooms upstairs but I wanted to be on the main floor. I found the location perfect. It is not on the main drag so it isn't noisy but just walk a couple of blocks and you are right in the middle of downtown Mystic with all the glorious restaurants, cute shops, and a drawbridge over the Mystic River. 100% charm. See how many mermaids you can count‍. I will definitely go back. I would like to go on a river cruise next time. I am recommending the Mermaid Inn to all my friends and family.

The amenities are top notch, still with a touch of sweet whimsy. The modern, granite bath/shower, in the Blue Room, was complimented by a beautiful mermaid mural. The mantle was decorated with a charming mermaid fresco. The soft shades of blue made for a serene environment & I slept like a baby on the comfy white, wrought-iron bed. Breakfast was delicious! Challah bread French toast with a medly of berries one day, a delicious lobster quiche on another. The Inn is Victorian, the theme is all things mermaid but, the heart of it all is the proprietor & hostess, Ms. Josephine! She could not have been more welcoming & accommodating. Thank you, Josephine, for a restful & rejuvenating stay at your lovely Mermaid Inn!

Paper thin walls/ceilings are the only reason I didn't give 4 stars because our room was nice & clean, but all night we heard a guest down the hall having a very very good time with a friend, and in the am children above us running circles in the room thunderously.

Can I give a six star review?…read more We've stayed at expensive hotels this year in Philadelphia and Chicago and this experience is head and shoulders over those. Huge room, comfortable, quiet and cozy. 6 star The quiet, do we even have anyone in the Inn or the town? The insulation is top notch. The dark The ultra sleeping experience. I guarantee the owner slept in this room at least one night to get feel for the room and make those little touches. How many hotels do you go to where the shades don't keep out the light or that the various clocks and smoke alarms and power strips and wall outlets all have bright led lights on them? How many times have I draped a sock over something. Not here, even the clock has a bright, dim and off option. I love a blacked out room and very very rarely get one. The shower - powerful and hot and oversized. Wow. Massive bathtub with jacuzzi option, wow. A well hidden TV, a really nice touch. We don't want it dominating the room. Bed, I've returned 3 mattresses after purchasing them at my house so I am picky and this bed is elite. Huge comfy chairs, comfy robes, this room has it all and the a/c is powerful. Resort 6stars Wine and cheese and fruit and cracker happy hour, bring $5 to tip Susan, she is a cheerful conversatalist. Breakfast is massive, don't plan to go anywhere else for brunch or breakfast. Highly recommend it and the seating areas are many, inside and out. Staff - great recommendations and Beatrice drew upon her knowledge of growing up in the town. Plus they had a ready list of 5 places to eat to walk to, so nice. The town,what a find, a classic NE town, they filmed mystic pizza here. So quiet and so much to do!

The smell in the hallway hits you and the room was even worse. I had to sleep with my own clean shirt over my face to block the smell of urine, mildew, and nasty feet! Drove 15 hours to get here in the middle of the night to realize how deceptive this place is. I cannot believe Hilton stands behind this place! I frequent Hilton properties often and this one they should have never put their name on. I went down to ask for a different room but of course "we are booked, there's nothing I can do"....I was hoping a different room in a different wing of this hole would atleast smell better....but we had to stick it out. Paper thin walls, people loud and cursing in the hallway, and the stench......that just blows my mind. So glad I brought flip flops, walking on the carpet is a definite no! Sorry Hilton but you cant put paint on a Days inn and call it your own....its not a good look! Junkies in the hallway...parking lot....people if you have kids and any sense stay away from here!

Good location near restaurants and Mystic tourist sites. Tip: not just for this hotel BUT, anywhere you stay - check the double lock. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN the door FROM the outside with the guest key, and when the dead bolt is thrown the door's inside handle MUST disengage the deadbolt and open the door.

One / Two star less as the hotel is next to Amtrak, so you could be awaken at all hours of the night by sounds of the trains - this should be disclosed to customers. The lack of a mini fridge can be issue, since you will have to use ice bags in the tub to preserve leftovers. Walls in room are quite thin - so you can hear your neighbors as well as things going on in graveled parking lot. Locks in the rooms were cheap /flimsy, so be glad that Mystic is a safe place. Overall a decent place to bunker down. Just bring ear plugs.

Couldn't quite give this hotel four stars, but it's a very solid three. Starting with the good…read morestuff: every person working on the property was incredibly friendly and kind. On check-in, we met Paul, who gave us plenty of good tips for what to do and see and where to eat in the area. He didn't steer us wrong. The hotel is located a convenient distance from most of the major attractions in Mystic and the surrounding areas. They even have bicycles you can borrow to ride into town. They also have a tremendous indoor swimming pool, a real lap-size pool, which you typically don't find in a hotel. Breakfast is served to your door. This isn't room service; it's the included continental breakfast, which you call or text for starting at 8 AM. Breakfast delivery was fast, and they will also bring refills if you call or text again and ask. It was very convenient not to have to get all dressed early in the morning and traipse across to another building just to eat. The room was clean, and thankfully there was absolutely no evidence at all of bedbugs. Now for the stuff we weren't so happy with. First of all, the room was noisy. Really noisy. We were located on the second floor, and we could hear noise coming in from the driveway and parking lot all night long. Our room also faced the train, which we could see from our window and which ran all night long. We could also easily hear our neighbors speaking in their room. In short, the rooms need a serious upgrade in soundproofing. Our stay was at the beginning of October, and nights were chilly. There was a fireplace in our room, but it wasn't working. When we asked about getting it turned on, the desk clerk said that all the fireplaces were in the process of being turned on for the colder months, and she would send someone over to turn ours on. Well, no one ever came, and our fireplace never worked during our four night stay. It was very disappointing because it would have been a nice way to take the chill off the air and to provide some romantic ambience. The room also could have really used a mini fridge, even a tiny one, just to hold leftovers from meals out. We had to use insulated grocery shopping bags filled with ice to keep drinks and leftovers cold. Don't expect much of anything from the television. It was the size of a small computer monitor, so watching it from across the room in bed really wasn't great. There is also an extremely limited selection of channels. If you want to watch TV, you would do better bringing a device and watching your own streaming services that way. Finally, the rooms are not secure from the outside. At least ours wasn't. We stayed in one of the rooms that was subdivided from a larger house. There was an outside door that led directly to a stairway to the second floor, where there were two doors: one for our room and the other for a separate room. The outside door had no lock at all and no auto-close mechanism. On two of the five days we stayed there, we returned to the room to find the outside door standing wide open. Our room itself only had a simple lock on the door handle. It was the kind of lock that you put on a bedroom door in a private home, not as the sole lock keeping strangers out of your hotel room. If I had been staying there as a woman alone, I definitely would not have felt safe. Despite the drawbacks, we would stay again for the positives.
