Summary: While the one night price is high...600 or so..trust me when I say not being in Mystic and driving in from the Motel 6 two miles away is beyond awful. Traffic is very heavy the bridge goes up every 40 minutes. Plan on it. Perfect in every respect the Inn is old and while the room was pedestrian it was nice. Shower a little small. Thanks Beth for checking us in. Two wonderful meals...Red 36 for dinner...400 yards away and a stupendous breakfast at Popover's..next door.

Summary: The arrival and check in were great. The location is perfect. The room was not amazing, but fine. I stayed in the main building and the carpet on the stairs and runners in the hallways was filthy. Not only looked old but like it had been years since being vacuumed.
