Frommer's Review
Resort hotels have existed at this location where the Connecticut River meets the ocean since the late 19th century, and they've gotten the formula down pat at the current facility. It has one of the largest marinas along the coast, an ingratiating restaurant with a clubby bar and a summer dining terrace, a fully equipped fitness room, and a spa offering a full range of body and skin-care services, including mud and seaweed wraps. Bedrooms are spacious, all with wet bars and sitting areas, some with working fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, and balconies.
The Terra Mar grill offers definitive versions of clam chowder and lobster roll not to be missed. Sunday buffet brunch is especially popular.
Facilities:
Restaurant (New American); bar; limited room service; indoor and outdoor pool; health club and spa; sauna

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
