Frommer's Review

Mystic's most ingratiating lodging is easily overlooked from land but readily apparent from the river. Perched on the bank of the Mystic River, the yellow-clapboard structure has apartment-size downstairs bedrooms, with Jacuzzis and kitchenettes, while the upstairs units have wood-burning fireplaces. Every room is decorated differently -- Laura Ashley was a likely muse -- and all but one have views of the water and the sailboats that make up the traffic.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

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.
