Best Things Nearby:
The resort is convenient to nearby casinos (Mohican Sun and Foxwoods) and minutes away from Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium.
Best Things About the Resort:
The inn has been restored to its original grandeur and overlooks the Long Island Sound. The resort has no two rooms that are alike. Each room has custom furnishings, bedding, and antiques. In season, there is a shuttle to the beach (within short walking distance) and a patio overlooking the Sound for those balmy summer evenings.
Resort Experience:
This inn is truly a 4-star Gold Crown resort and offers salon and day spa, tennis, and pool facilities.
The inn comprises three buildings: the original Guthrie Mansion (of which we stayed in with a room overlooking the Sound), the Carriage House, and Watchman's Cottage. The mansion contains 27 guest rooms, the Carriage House contains 24 rooms decorated in French décor, and the Watchman's Cottage is a large studio with private patio for large families. I would not recommend the mansion for families since one can easily even hear the walking of its occupants throughout the building during all hours.
The lobby is magnificent with its winding staircase and its staff is all accommodating and never are without a smile and kind word!
Continental breakfast is served every morning for $5 per person, but it is only served until 9:30am, which is not good for those who sleep late! There is only a microwave, mini refrigerator, and coffee maker in the room and the room offers daily maid service.
