What Guests Are Saying

“My wife and I went to the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina in Niantic a few weekends ago to celebrate, a few days early, our 57th wedding anninversary, redeeming a gift certificate from my wife’s brother and his wife. When we checked in, we found a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a lovely handwritten note congratulating us on our anniversary. (Yes, my wife had spilled the beans when making the reservation.) What a treat! The next morning we had a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast - eggs and pancakes. The staff was wonderful and the view of the marina from our private porch spectacular. We can’t wait to return to this marvelous spot! Rich and Sue Ratzan” — rodddd2, 5 stars

“My husband and I stayed at the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina for 2 nights mid-November. Although it was a bit chilly outside, the sunny days as well as the warmth of the staff helped stave off the chill. You choose breakfast from a menu and it’s perfectly prepared and served by cheerful staff. Late afternoon cheese and wine are served, and each day at 7PM a different cookie is available. The inn is absolutely spotless, well-maintained, and in an area with an abundance of things to do. Mystic Seaport is nearby as is Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos. If you’re looking for a quaint town for a relaxing stay, you’ve found it. No need to look further. We’ve been here twice now, and plan to continue visiting.” — MAYWEDDING1, 5 stars

“My husband and I were coming to Niantic on our way back home from Boston. We arrived earlier than check in time and our room wasn’t ready so we walked around and had some lunch. They said they would call when the room was ready but they didn’t so we just returned at regular check in time and the room was ready by then. We only stayed 2 nights. We stayed in the Captain Clark House in room 15. I chose this room for the private balcony, the soaking tub and the views. We found the room to be fairly comfortable. We didn’t see a way to adjust the heat to air conditioning and the room was staying pretty warm at 75 degrees. We decided to open the windows to allow for cooler air to flow thru. (Unfortunately this is how I think I ended up sick with a sore throat and cold) The main area of the house had a small refrigerator for everyone’s use as well as an abundant supply of coffee/tea with a Keurig machine. We did partake in the complimentary wine and cheese reception, which was a nice added touch. We chose to have breakfast delivered to our room the first morning. Even though it was delivered late (we thought they forgot about us), it was delicious. They did apologize for being late, they had lost our request cards. After breakfast we weren’t sure what to do with the tray so we kept it in our room for the rest of our stay. The hallway was narrow and we didn’t want to block it with the food tray. We decided to eat breakfast in the main house on the second day. It was delicious as well. However, I found it strange that there was only one pot of coffee which was empty when we arrived and they didn’t have a pot for decaf coffee or hot water (for tea). My husband went to the community Keurig to get coffee while we waited for them to refill the pot. Not a big deal the food was delicious and the chef and server were very nice. Overall it was a nice one time stay.” — VacaLover, 4 stars
