The Whalers Inn was quite lovely. For the cost of our room though, I would have thought it would have been a bit bigger. There was literally nowhere to put our bathroom belongings, which makes getting ready quite difficult. Overall the hotel has a fantastic location, everything within walking distance to the wonderful downtown of Mystic. I would recommend staying here if you are traveling to Mystic.

Charming stay in heart of walkable town

Wonderful stay at the Whalers Inn! Helpful, communicative and friendly staff in all areas. Food was delicious at on-site restaurant, and there were many great food/shopping options within a walkable distance as well. Loved the views from the lobby porch rocking chairs and cute array of gifts in shop.
