We love this place! We came back after years especially to fresh up memories since the time we used to live in the area. The owner of the place are just wonderful and the night with Jazz in The side door ( next to place) was the reason we came to this very unique place. The Jazz Brunch on Sunday morning we enjoyed a lot too! The rooms are lovely and you feel a little bit like coming home. We have to come back during winter to light up the 🔥 fire in the room.

The breakfast in the morning is just muffins and the or coffee. We would prefer some toast, butter and Marmelade, but that was just the only small thing I personally missed.

Location is perfect for touring the area and grounds and common rooms are lovely. The breakfast was very good and included with the stay. The staff is welcoming and helpful. During our stay, the inn was quiet and restful as it was not totally full.

The only suggestion I have is to put another smaller chair in the room so that both people can sit down. There was literally no place in the room for my husband and I to sit at the same time. The four poster bed was lovely and traditional but too high and not conducive for seating. A few hooks for hanging things would also be helpful.

Definitely the beauty of the place and the service. Why go to New England to stay in a typical hotel room when you can stay at a historic mansion impeccably maintained? One night we got back very late and wanted some coffee. The manager personally took care of us and a waitress got us a delicious espresso and a latte. At no charge!!! That I call great hospitality.

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 bathroom could use some counter space, and the windows did not stay open on their own. I like fresh air at night.

Breakfast was good, especially for my husband who has no allergies. I need gluten and dairy-free food, and occasionally I am pleasantly surprised when it is offered. The Old Lyme Inn did not offer these options, but then again, I did not tell them ahead of time about my allergies, so my bad! I instantly liked the owner, who met us when we arrived and showed us to our room, which I loved. It was spacious and comfortable with a roomy private bathroom.

?? It was pretty great overall

The staff the Side Door Cafe jazz the back door key the rabbits the woodsy trail out back cross-over street access to riverside and Florence Griswold gardens fresh air, tranquility and friendliness (of course it was off-season...???)

What could have been better? Let me know?????

The Old Lyme Inn was charming ,friendly staff, great location.

Our room was dated and worn although comfortable. When we mentioned it when checking out. We were told It was the next room to be remodeled and that many of the rooms have already been remodeled. The room should be left empty until remodeled and updated.

Tge front desk staff & the morning coffee staff person who was most accommodating.

The service & the food served at breakfast. We only ate breakfast one morning of our stay because of that.

great staff, comfortable room, wonderfully appointed inn

jazz, check in time limited to 2:00-4:00 seemed unrealistic and when we arrived at 8:30 pm Friday it was not an issue although unnecessary extra work to keep them updated on our eta via email then texting

The staff were always welcoming and accommodating. Very comfortable place to stay. Across the street from two excellent art museums . The Inn has a bar and restaurant and an adjoining jazz club.

No TV or elevator.
