Very good but not spectacular.
The Whalers Inn is a lovely hotel right in the best most walkable part of town. For the location alone it is worth a premium. Having said this, the rooms are not particularly special and spacious, the walls are quite thin so noise travels, so the facilities are not at the level of the location. Hotel has a very nice feel though and the staff are very attentive, polite and helpful.

Nice hotel with a 19th Century vibe
Really enjoyed my stay. Extremely friendly staff. Nice room with a comfortable bed and chair and a great shower, although in this day and age there should be a USB recharging jack somewhere in the room.

I had a wonderful stay at The Whalers inn. The location is perfect- just a stone throw away from the mystic high street full of shops cafes and restaurants. The staff were so helpful- especially Joe who arranged to retrieve an earring I lost down the sink the day I was checking out and posted it to my next destination.

Cute Hotel
Staff was really nice. Cute hotel. We stayed in the refurbished older section which was nice but a bit pricey for the accommodations. Shipwrecks Daughter restaurant and bar were great! Excellent location for walking around downtown Mystic.
