The Griswold Inn, hotel in Old Lyme

The Griswold Inn has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Essex. Located around 18 km from Goodspeed Opera House, the inn with free WiFi is also 35 km away from Wesleyan University.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in many ways. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who were extremely kind and attentive. We truly felt welcomed and valued throughout our entire stay, which made a significant difference in our overall experience. The room was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring that we had restful nights during our stay. It’s clear that the hotel takes great care in maintaining the cleanliness and comfort of their rooms, which we greatly appreciated. If I had to mention one minor drawback, it would be the size of the room, which was a bit on the small side. However, the coziness and the overall comfort made up for it, so it didn’t impact our stay too much. We also had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, and while the service was excellent, the menu didn’t quite meet our expectations. We were hoping for a bit more variety or something that stood out, but unfortunately, it fell a little short of what we had hoped for. On a positive note, the breakfast was fantastic. It was very well-curated, offering a complete and healthy selection that catered to a variety of tastes. We appreciated the attention to detail and the fresh, nutritious options available, which made for a great start to our day. Overall, despite the small room and the dinner experience, our stay was wonderful, largely due to the fantastic service, the comfortable accommodations, and the excellent breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming place to stay, and I would gladly return in the future.

    The inn is classic old New England. There is a public sitting room and outside seating. Although we didn’t actually eat at the restaurant, the menu looked great. Staff throughout the establishment, including The Side Door, could not have been friendlier. The Side Door was really hopping when we stayed. Florence Griswold Museum is right across the street. Plus, if you like colonial era homes there is a self guided walking tour available of Old Lyme.

    We enjoyed our stay. It is quiet in the evenings unless you are in the bar with the hiking club. The price was quite a bit more than we ever pay but it was close to family and it was lovely. I almost cancelled to stay at a hotel for half the price. The drinks are not cheap in the bar. Perhaps a discount for those that are staying at the Inn. We had muffins and juice one morning and they were tasty. The staff are wonderful and outgoing. We are use to a softer bed but loved the king size room in the corner - #3. Thank you!

    The hotel is lovely and in a great location. The staff was terrific. The adjoining jazz club was a huge plus and would make me stay at the Old Lyme Inn again.

    The breakfast consisted of a cup of coffee and tiny store bought muffins. Served only after 8.30 am when a staff member finally arrived to open up the Inn which had been closed without staff since 5pm the day before!

    The staff was upbeat and helpful, and the Inn is an historic and lovely treasure. On one late afternoon of my stay, an acoustic guitar soloist played on the outside patio for happy hour. I really enjoyed his music.

    The Inn itself is charming and the staff is most welcoming and helpful. It was a bonus to stay across the street from the fantastic Griswold Museum. My family and I so enjoyed this experience to learn about the art culture of the area. The location is perfect for visiting neighboring towns.
