Thames Inn & Marina – Groton

The room was pretty sparsely furnished, it had a kitchen area but no dishes, cups, cutlery, microwave or oven. There was a musty smell that would have been easily erased if there were Windows that opened. It is right on the water and there was a constant cool breeze that would have been delightful to feel inside the room. The best part of our stay was sitting on the bench outside the room admiring the view and the breeze.

Hotel is a little rundown on the outside but there had been some improvements in the room, which included a kitchenette and a double jetted tub in the bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Best part, though, was the scenery. Great location across Thames River from the ferry boat dock. Lots of boats and ships up and down the river. Very convenient to Mystic Seaport and Village and other southern Connecticut attractions.

Staying here was such an amazing experience.

First time at this establishment. Usually stay at another inn and suites the next exit up but couldn't get a reservation. Enjoyed a nice quiet stay. Came back the day we checked out to see the fantastic sunset. We are familiar with the area so shopping and restaurants were easy to find in the immediate area and one exit up(86) and along route 12.

I booked the room because I was seeing a show at Foxwoods. The motel was in a bad neighborhood, in poor shape, and smelled of cigarettes. It hasn't been updated since the early 80s. The clerk was unprofessional and shady. It was the kind of place that looks like it rents by the hour. After the show, I chose to drive the 2+ hours home rather than stay at the motel. Steer clear of this dump.
