Top Higganum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Cheshire - Southington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was very cleans and friendly staff"

The Farmington Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here previously must have been fifteen years ago. It was great then. Was a little concerned it could be dated and was pleasantly surprised though still historic it has been well maintained and updated. Stayed two nights on business. Probably one of my best hotel and favorite places to stay is right here. Beyond doing everything right with service touches not seen anywhere anymore, it was simply a charming experience compared to my usual big brand hotels that are all the same; though not a leisure trip for me the comfort, ambiance, and service gave me a sense of relaxation that I am not familiar with when traveling for business. A few really good restaurants were walkable and it’s definitely an area fine and worth walking around in too."

Best Western Niantic - New London/Mystic Area

10/10 Excellent

"This was the last stay in a week-long road trip. This hotel was the best we were at. The room was clean, the breakfast was great, and it was obvious that all facets of the hotel have been updated recently. All in all, this is a great hotel that I would definitely stay at again."
