Great Stay at the Old Lyme Inn
Great stay at the Old Lyme Inn! The most welcoming and accommodating staff I've ever met! They couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast was very nice, although the coffee wasn't great. The grounds are beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay with a Wonderful Staff
What a wonderful experience we had at The Old Lyme Inn. From the Valentine’s Tea, the amazing dinner and the Jazz club right next door. We never had to leave the property once we arrived on Saturday. Tosh the manager made us feel as if we were the only people staying at the inn . My guess is she made everyone else there feel the same. The room had wonderful morning light, comfy chairs and everything we needed. We will definitely be back - thanks for a wonderful weekend.

Great weekend!!
Family weekend. 3 night stay to meet with daughters for a weekend getaway. In allowed for an early check in because room was ready. Jazz club attached to Inn with shows Friday and Saturday night. Inn arranged for show tickets both nights. All the staff were exeptionally accomadating all weekend long from check in to show tickets to allowing us dinner service right at closing time. The dinner and breakfast were both prepared with care and quality. Dining are was very charming. From day one staff called us by name whenever we encountered them and made us feel like home. Because of their service would recommend their establishment. Inn was conveniently located right off the highway and walking distance to lyme sculptuŕe garden and floŕence griswold museum. 10 to 15 minute drive to niantic boardwalk, essex Steam train and ivoryton theatre

Help was fine.
Bathroom shower/bathtub inferior (peeling, mold, etc. Occasional silverfish). Bed very creaky.
