The first room they gave us smelled of smoke and wasn’t cleaned - towels in bathroom on floor and garbages full. They quickly and kindly gave us a new room that was clean and smelled better.

The location was great- cute town. The room was clean and pretty basic. Beds could have been more comfy. Overall, it was fine given the amount paid.

It was a very nice one night stay. Nice breakfast lunch place right across the street. Good coffee. I believe the name was the Kettle or Tea Kettle. A beautiful farm stand right next door. Just 3 minutes drive to the Main Street of Old Saybrook.

Rick, front desk clerk was courteous, polite and friendly. The fridge didn’t get cold enough and spoiled a couple of my food items but the freezer worked well and I had the remodeled room. Also, the tv had limited channels & they didn’t offer decaf for the coffee maker but for the most part I enjoyed my stay.

Little gem of a motel in Old Saybrook.

Very good basic hotel in a nice town. Room was clean and had everything you would need for a traveler. I had a late arrival due to traffic and the check in clerk contacted me to ask about my status. He was very nice and helpful. Motel offers no food service, but there is a very nice breakfast spot across the street. Definitely would stay again.

I've stayed at lots of hotels in Old Saybrook and this is my favorite. The rooms are comfy. The staff is friendly. The management is conscious of indoor air quality (other hotels are not). I travel a lot for business and it's great to find a place I can get comfortable in. I've extended my stay here for these reasons.

We never checked in because, upon arrival, we were informed of an issue with their septic system which made use of the bathroom in our room very limited. We were given the option of staying or not, and we chose not to stay.
