The Whalers Inn is a boutique hotel in the heart of historic Mystic, CT. It is comprised of a few charming, quintessential New England style buildings. The majority of popular restaurants and shopping, plus the Mystic Seaport Museum, are all within walking distance.
Check in was seamless. The lobby was cute, decorated in a tasteful nautical theme, and the young lady working was very hospitable. They offer free reserved parking, 24 hour concierge, and complimentary tea/coffee/freshly baked cookies for guests.
We splurged on the newly renovated Hoxley House ($450/night). There are only 4 of these rooms at the Inn, recommended for honeymooners, or anyone celebrating a special occasion. Our room overlooked the town center, providing nice sunset views. Unfortunately, the bed was rock hard, and had thin, scratchy sheets. There were stains on the carpet. Nothing about it felt luxurious, or worthy of the price point.
The walls were paper thin, but fortunately we had no neighbors until our last night. We were woken up at 5am by a loud guitar in the next room. My fiancé knocked on their door and spoke to them, but the music continued. I complained at the front desk, and brought up the matter at check out, but the older woman working was dismissive and unapologetic. I would not stay here again.
