Thames Inn & Marina - Groton, Connecticut

Paid over $200/night in June for a room here, when I took the New London Ferry for a daytrip to Block Island. The room wreaked of cigarettes even though it was a non-smoking room. The room was loud with people coming and going at all hours of the night. The room was musty, and the shower smelled like mold. The bed was uncomfortable. This was an unpleasant stay even for one night. I cannot believe the room was $235. This place needs a lot of TLC. I do not recommend!

This was one of my favorite stops when I was in the area. The staff was so nice and fun. The room was spacious with a full kitchen. I loved being right on the water, and Paul’s Pasta Shop up the street was great. Would definitely stay here again. A man who was working on the property gave me some history of the area and said sometimes you can catch submarines cruising up the river.

Absolutely horrible. The place is run down. The people who are running it had no one in the office. The room was supposed to be ready to check in at 3:00pm and they hadn’t even started cleaning it. Apple core on the floor, water damaged ceiling, garbage under the dresser…$200 for no tv in the main room. We were hoping for a nice date weekend, with what we saw, we ended up leaving! Didn’t stay in that awful looking room. To the owners, please get your act together.

We liked this place. Funky little harborside hotel, friendly and helpful staff. The place, furniture and decor are nothing fancy and a little worn but we like that kind of place. Convenient to two restaurants, 30 minute walk to convenience stores. 15 minute walk to catch bus to New London. Big parking lot if you are driving (we came on Amtrak and taxied to the hotel).

I have no idea how others are giving this place a positive review. The room we were given was filthy. The room reeked of recent smoke. Everything was falling apart. The bed had two limp mismatched pillows and a threadbare mattress. The bathroom was uncleaned. The furnishings are cheap home furninshings, not hotel style. The door key we were given did not work in our door. We spent about 30 seconds in the room before cutting our losses and going to a real hotel. Avoid this place!

Dirty dirty dirty! The floor didn't look like it had been mopped in weeks, blankets had cigarettes burns on them, and the showerhead was held together by duck tape. No soap In the bathroom and are towels hung from nubs on the wall that was a towel bar at some point. And the roo .smelled like cigarettes It was so gross. I didn't bring anything in my room and left immediately. Staff was nice and refunded me my stay.

Husband and I stayed here to visit Mystic and Stonington. Thames Inn was much cheaper than other options and it was a great experience for the price. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and our room was spacious, newly renovated, and very clean. Don’t be fooled by its offbeat location, you’ll be comfortable for the price!

Stayed here for a week. Had a work thing. Very close to my work site. The cost was $650 for the week (so it's not bad).

Wifi barely worked, the parking lot needs attention, and remodeling is needed.

I really didn't know who was running the place because the owner was on medical leave (as I was told). But the people I did interact with were so kind and polite. Checking in and out was easy and contacting office employees were very easy to get a hold off. The scenery from the parking lot was amazing.
