Our initial impression of the hotel was positive, thanks to the friendly staff and a room that seemed satisfactory at first glance. However, our stay was soon marred by the discovery of bugs on the bed and in the bathroom. Furthermore, as we were departing, we found a diaper under the bed, which suggested that the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. We requested a room rate adjustment, but haven't received a response from management yet.

The lady that checked me in was very nice and polite. Very helpful. The room was nice but needs to be updated. The carpets are old and have a mildew smell. But it was a very nice stay. I would have like to have breakfast at the hotel. There is a dinner on the same property. But the food on a scale of 1-10 was about a 2. Waitress was very nice. I ordered a Mystic Sunrise mocktail and was brought one that tasted like beer. When I asked she said it had champagne in it, and I reminded her that was supposed to be in mocktail so she took it away and returned with the correct one. But it definitely was beer..

This is an old hotel and needs updating. It was fine for the price I paid, but I am glad I didn't need to stay more than one night. Close to the Aquarium and Olde Mistick Village. Lots of restaurants nearby, but I wouldn't recommend The Mystic Diner.
