    live jazz
    outdated furniture
    unreliable wi-fi

    The live jazz performances added a unique charm.

    I faced several issues during my stay. The furniture in my room seemed outdated and needed maintenance, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, the wi-fi connection was unreliable, interrupting my ability to stay connected and work remotely. Lastly, I expected more from the bathroom facilities, as the sink did not hold water, which was quite inconvenient.

    A practical review for you

    Charming atmosphere and excellent location were standout features during my stay. The Jazz brunch was delightful, and the staff made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The cozy bar enhanced my experience, making it truly memorable. Just a warning, some rooms might not offer the modern comforts expected today.

    kind staff

    Couples looking for a charming getaway

    The staff were always kind and attentive. We had lovely conversations with them that made the experience even better.

    It certainly wasn’t cheap, but given the overall experience, I’d say it was acceptable.

    charming ambiance
    attentive service
    cleaning issues
    bathroom repairs
    coffee options

    The Old Lyme Inn offers a cozy vibe with an inviting atmosphere. I loved enjoying live jazz music both nights right next door at The Side Door club. The staff’s attention was impressive. they constantly referred to me by name, which added a personal touch. The room provided plenty of natural light and was stylishly decorated. However, I encountered a few hiccups. The carpets could definitely use a deep clean since the room felt a bit stale. The bathroom also had some maintenance needs. the tub looked worn, and the sink didn’t hold water properly. Although breakfast was quite good, the coffee situation left something to be desired, needing better options inside the room itself.

    friendly staff
    cozy vibe
    great food
    inconsistent hot water

    We had an amazing time at the jazz brunch and loved the convenient jazz club nearby. The staff were super friendly and made us feel like part of the family. The food was on point, and the cozy vibe really set the mood for our group getaway.

    One downside was the absence of consistent hot water in the shower, which was a bit disappointing after a long day. It took a while to warm up, and that was frustrating.

    great food
    romantic vibe

    It was a smart choice for a weekend rest in Old Lyme with decent value for money. The food was impressive. I tried the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Consider asking for a room away from the noise for a quieter stay.

    I absolutely loved the cozy vibe and live jazz music! 🎷 The room was stylishly decorated, but the lighting could use some improvement. Overall, a great experience!

    spacious room
    tasty breakfast
    noise disturbance
    dining disappointment
    expensive drinks

    The corner king room was spacious and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat each evening. The warm muffins and refreshing juice at breakfast stood out, adding a delightful touch to the mornings. However, the noise from nearby Highway I95 was noticeable and detracted from the ambiance at times. Dining was disappointing, especially with the delayed Valentine's dinner service that left us unsatisfied and with leftover food we couldn't even enjoy. Additionally, drink prices in the bar felt steep for the experience offered.
