The Niantic Inn

This place is a safety and security nightmare! I was getting into town later than anticipated, so I called earlier in the day to make sure that I would be able to check in between 9:30-10pm. The receptionist says, that's no problem. I arrive at the hotel at 9:45pm, and the door is locked. There are two phone numbers on the door. One goes unanswered. The second is answered, and I am told that someone on staff will come let me in. I wait and I get a call back saying that my "key" is in the drop box next to the door. So, I open the box and my FULL NAME, ROOM NUMBER, and KEY PAD CODE are all just fully available to anyone who may stroll by. So, anyone in town could come find out who I am, what room I'm staying in, and the key pad code to let themselves into my room. I wedged my chair under the door handle for the night, which didn't feel great, since this place also doesn't have fire sprinklers in the rooms. I loved downtown Niantic, but I will not be staying here a second time.

Room was clean but furnishings were from the dollar store. Spacious, practical, and clean in a great location.

The inn was amazing!!! The room was clean and spacious!!! There were plenty of pillows and extra blankets!!! The mattress was heavenly and super comfortable to sleep on. The staff was accommodating and pleasant. This will definitely be my go to place for now on!!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved all the flowers and plants around the inn. Very clean and lovely.

We absolutely loved our overnight stay at the Niantic Inn. The location is fantastic, with wonderful shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The guest rooms are located in a separate three-floor building behind the office. There is no elevator, so if you have mobility concerns or heavy luggage, I recommend requesting a first-floor room. They are happy to assist with bags if needed. Brooke at check-in was incredibly helpful, especially on a busy Valentine’s Saturday. She offered thoughtful restaurant suggestions and even looked up and wrote down the phone number for her top recommendation. Unfortunately, they were fully booked, but we appreciated the effort. We reserved a king room, which was spacious, bright, and tastefully decorated with a breezy seaside feel. The bed was very comfortable. The Valentine’s touches were charming, including towel swans, silk rose petals, and decorated coffee cups with flowers on the tray. Small details like wine glasses, a corkscrew, extra towels and blankets, and plenty of outlets made the stay even better. There was also a snack bag at check-in, and the office offered sundries and locally sourced gifts. It is truly a quaint, welcoming inn and the perfect home base for exploring Mystic and Niantic.
