The Whalers Inn, Mystic Mystic is a quaint New England town, on the water, and The Whalers Inn is a perfect location. We absolutely loved staying here and wished we could have stayed longer than one night. The room was small but beautifully laid out, lovely bathroom, nicely equipped. Bed was so comfortable too and everything spotlessly clean. Although it... More

My husband and I just spent two wonderful nights on the 2nd floor of the Main Inn. While our room was not advertised as having a view of the Mystic River, we could see the water from one of the windows. The room was wonderfully appointed and beatifully decorated. Cozy and quaint...just what you'd expect in Mystic. The bathroom was... More

The Whaler’s Inn is located just across the bridge from town, within walking distance. There are many bars & restaurants that you can walk too. The Inn itself is fabulous. Nice fireplace in the room, we were in the Hoxie House. We always stay here when we come to Mystic; we actually reserve the same room. There is a nice... More

I stayed here on business for a few days and was overall quite happy. The Whaler's Inn is right in the centre of Mystic - just next to the drawbridge and canal. The air con unit was a little loud and the breakfast was a little basic for my European taste, but little things made this a enjoyable stay: The... More

The Inn is part of the history of the area. Some of the floors slope but it's a very old building and allowed to revel in it's history. My room was on the front of the main building and very cheery and bright. I was comfortable and enjoyed relaxing in the room at the end of the day. I've stayed... More

I stayed off-season in a lovely room. It offered all the amenities, despite having soap, conditioner, and shampoo in containers hanging on the wall of the tub; rather like a health club. The front desk went out of their way to be friendly and gracious. Always smiling, happy to reserve cabs. They even offered me a ride to the train... More

Overall, we enjoyed our one night stay in Mystic. The Whaler's Inn had some very good qualities: clean, comfortable bed, close to downtown, nice breakfast, and only about $100 night. However, there was just one overwhelming negative that likely would have me not returning. The room that we stayed in (Stonington building) smelled very musty. If they would have just... More

We stayed at the Whaler's Inn for a weekend in Mystic. It was in a perfect location- we could easily walk to the little downtown area and restaurants. The staff was friendly and lovely, and the Inn has a quaint New England vibe. The room itself was really dumpy and gross. The sheets were cheap 50/50 blends. The nasty brown... More

From the time I made the reservations a couple of months ago, I was looking forward to our stay at the Whaler’s Inn. I wanted a place with local character, and from the reviews I’d read that’s where we needed to stay. My only question was, since the hotel is comprised of three different buildings, each with their own personality,... More

Not so bothered about the complimentary 'continental breakfast' but the hotel is well situated to walk to everything around about wiith a good selection of individual stores and restaurants.
