Pier Blue Inn Old Saybrook - Essex

10/10 Excellent

"Welcoming, helpful, friendly, professional front desk staff. My room was impeccably clean and tidy. The property is centrally-located with ease of accessibility to main roads and major highways, yet far enough off Boston Post Road to ensure a quiet, peaceful and restful stay. Overall, an outstanding, no-frills property! I look forward to staying here once again!"

Saybrook Point Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Old Saybrook never disappoints. The rooms have been remodel Edinburgh the last six months but the resort has managed to retain its old world chatm. Eventhough there were three weddings at the property during our visit, the staff were attentive to us and we weren't as re remained their only guests. We will visit again."

Phenomenal One Bedroom Cottage in Historic Old Lyme, Connecticut

Old Lyme Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice room, clean and comfortable"

Two-bedroom townhome in the heart of Saybrook Point with water/harbor views

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for a wedding across the street at Saybrook point and it was perfect! This is the house directly next to the Saybrook Point guest houses, so if you happen to know people staying there, this puts you in amazing proximity. Besides the impeccable location, Kristen could not have been kinder or more helpful. We had asked if we could check in early to get ready for the wedding and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was friendly, responsive, and understanding.The house is so cute—it has so much character and has so much incredible natural light. You can watch the sunrise in the morning on the porch!! It was clean, and perfect for what we needed for our stay. Kristen even stocked it with some waters and local coffee for us! Highly recommend this spot—we’d love to come back!"

Liberty Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place would stay again"

Old Lyme Pet Friendly Escape | Griswold Preserve + Beach Pass + Fireplace

10/10 Excellent

"The home was very nice and clean. The a/c and appliances all worked well, although we were surprised the refrigerator is very dated in relation to the rest of the house. It served our purposes well and we would definitely return here. We did encounter two issues that should be addressed. 1. The property is specifically advertised as including a beach pass. However, when I inquired about the beach pass upon arrival, I was told there was none. 2. The property was advertised as pet friendly and we brought our golden retriever and golden doodle and it was great to have them with us. What was strange was that on the day of check in I received an email asking for a “pet fee” to be charged to me credit card. When I questioned the fee I was told that there was no fee and the property was pet friendly. Perhaps just miscommunication on both issues, but the owner should look into both. Again, we had a great time and the house fit our needs perfectly, so those two issues should not overshadow the overall experience."

The Nest at Black Hall

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Charming 1920's no frills cottage in peaceful Old Saybrook
