There was no phone in the room. I had people coming for dinner who did not have my cell and I don't on principal give it out to hotels. They arrived and I had no idea they were waiting until I went downstairs early. How does the hotel arrange for wake-up calls? No phone in the room is unacceptable. I was there for 2 nights and the room wasn't made up the second day. As it was Sunday, there was virtually no one around to tell this to until I ran into a very nice custodian who did get me towels, at least. The clock wasn't functional. Fan on the heating/cooling was not adjustable. It blew cold all weekend. There was no bar soap. Again, unacceptable. Squeeze bottle soap is useless. AND there was no conditilner in the squeeze bottles in the shower. And, no, shampoo pretending to have conditioner in it does not work. The was no table height surface and no real chair. Working on a computer on a magazine rack seated in an easy chair doesn't work. The stay was disappointing.

A lovely stay. Our room was clean and cozy, though some of the furniture showed visible wear. Comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom that felt modern. The staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but overall, we’d recommend a stay the Old Lyme Inn.

The town of Old Lyme is charming, and this lovely inn is perfectly situated, right across from the Florence Griswold Museum, right off the I95 for easy exploring, and very quiet and peaceful.

Quaint cozy inn. The staff was friendly. However, I did not receive an itemized bill for my stay. The price listed on Expedia was not what l paid, Also, l was the only person on the premises for two nights. It was creepy walking into an empty inn. If I would have known, l wouldn’t had booked the stay.
