We stayed in #10 and #11 for the king beds and first-floor porch rocking chairs. #10 had a view of…read moreconcrete & pallets so #11 was better. The rooms were spacious and clean, with attractive furnishings of tables, dresser, chairs and bed. We did not try the pool-like bathtub (next to shutters that open to the main room and TV!) but the shower was magnificent! Towels and ROBES were fluffy and floral-smelling. Toilet flush was awesome, lol. Height of counter was thoughtfully higher-than usual and it had room for personal effects. The bed was not super-comfortable but acceptable. It was soft over hard, and my sister felt pressure points. The chairs sunk in the middle, but we weren't in them long. The gas fireplace was lovely!! And both windows open for fresh air, which I find very important. The place was very quiet and we only encountered other guests a few minutes here and there. The grounds are Gorgeous with grasses, roses, huge lavender plants. We loved sitting in the metal patio furniture with umbrellas, by the marina, eating our custom breakfasts! So relaxing and decadent. Kat, our breakfast waitress, was A+ and very pleasant. We all liked the food too. We did walk to local restaurants from here, plus easily visited Mystic by car. We did walk the nearby 1mi bayside trail to the Hole-in-the-Wall beach. It was a bit too far unless you can enjoy ~3mi roundtrip from Inn to beach. Our favorite restaurants were 374 Kitchen & Cocktail, followed by Constantine's (deck). We did not care for Flanders which was crowded and noisy, plus several additional unpleasant features! Now for the gritty: For unknown reason, the Inn has very cheap toiletpaper! And there is no place to lay clothes in the bathroom except in a drawer. There is no fridge in the room - just an icebucket with a fridge and ice in the community areas. They provide 2 bottles of water at the start of your stay...but you can get another at breakfast. Coffee is in carafes in the morning, but otherwise from Keurigs in the community room. You may freely wear the robes - just place them with your dirty towels at end of stay. To get clean towels, place your used ones outside your door! Fresh ones will magically appear in a plastic bag outside the door. They were not offering the pontoon rides when we were there in early June. I was disappointed and felt they should post the limitations. They do have cookies plus wine/cheese/grapes at certain times. These items are in the main Inn, where there are two tiny closets with staff in them. We were pretty comfortable going in and out the business area. Kat was the most welcoming, smiling when we cut through the kitchen each morning. We splurged to stay here for 70th BD celebrations. All four of us loved the Inn and had fun days in Niantic and Mystic.

We attempted to stay at NAVY LODGE NEW LONDON, Groton CT, Karll Smith was working the evening…read moreshift. This was the WORSE customer service as a retired military family. Prior to our arrival we went online to see if this Navy Lodge had space available, and it was showing they have 3 rooms available for booking. So we decided to just do a walk in and the manager (Karll Smith) was rude and unprofessional. Mr. Smith told us that they had 3 rooms under construction, and he had no space available. So we called the Navy Lodge central booking, and reported this poor customer service and unprofessional staff member. We were booked a room and our credit card was charged $107 June 16, 2026, but no room was available. So we ended up going to the Navy Inn instead, which had much better customer service. Monday June 15, 2026 evening shift. Names of employees noted with a pic on reviews on social media. The pics on my phone are time and date stamped proving I was at this lodge. I called and spoke to Sarah June 17, 2026, my CC was charged $107. She stated we were a no show that night which is a lie. He stated in front of me and spouse no rooms are available, even though customer service stated that 3 rooms are available. Karll is a liar and a unprofessional individual. How and why would you have anyone working at your Lodge with this kind of attittude, not good at all. This is CC fraud, I will be reporting this to my CC company if this isn't reversed. June 18, 2026 I spoke withe the General manager Brandon: He was kind and apologized for the incident. He did refund us our money back. appreciated his kindness. One day I will try again to stay here if in the area.

They do serve a continental breakfast in the morning, which isn't horrible bit never changes. Muffins, pastries, cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, and coffee. Unfortunately, the pastries and muffins are not very good. Still, it's better than nothing at all. The rooms are spacious, but unfortunately quite dusty. Our stay was over a week and soap was never replaced. We ran out of toilet paper at one point as well, but thankfully I brought some along. The beds are hard and not comfortable but we remembered that from before and bought a foam mattress pad. I also had some cleaning wipes so was able to get much of the dust. It's not the worst, nor the best.

Had a really odd experience here. The first thing that went wrong was when the receptionist gave us…read morethe key to the room. When we went up to the room, my Dad opened up the door only to see that it was occupied! There was luggage open, a hat on the table etc. Thankfully, the occupant was not there in that moment or it could've gone really bad. Imagine if they'd just gotten out of the shower and someone had barged into their room while they were still indecent. It would've been a lawsuit for sure. Anyways, we were transferred to a new room. This room had lots of things wrong with it. First, maintenance had left a large fan machine blowing air really loudly in it. The AC machine did not work and was covered in mold. The room had a mildew smell. The curtain rods didn't have any curtains Just sticks, no fabric. Usually there's a sheer curtain and a thicker black out curtain. There was no sheer curtain. There were mysterious red stains on the couch. No bed bugs though! Breakfast was underwhelming. The apple juice was very watery. The food was generally pretty bland. Eggs rubbery, sausage was unflavorful. The boiled oatmeal was literally mush. Bagels were ok. Also, the chair cushions in the lobby were chipped/cracked and peeling. Table was wobbly. The location is in a random spot in a sketchy neighborhood. Parking is ok. Basically, I agree with the other reviewers that this place is definitely dated and janky af lol. I was disappointed because I thought Marriott had a certain level of standards. If you stay for one night here as a last resort, it's fine but I'd go somewhere else if you intend to stay a bit longer.
