Bed was super comfortable, a nice amount of space in the room, nice front desk staff, breakfast was plentiful and good. I appreciated how close hotel was to Olde Mystic, it is down a fairly steep hill but we walked it easily. We enjoyed dinner at Jealous Monk, pretty outside seating and friendly waitstaff.

Staff was great, property was clean, nice variety of food for breakfast. Only negative was being able to hear everyone outside of the room in the hallways and even on the upper level. Also a negative was the shower curtain not fully covering the shower and bathroom floor getting wet. Overall it was a nice place to stay
