    Rusted refrigerator, garbage in bags on the floor of the room. It was filthy. We didn't stay.

    We have been coming up to New London from Philly to help prep a new home for our daughter and…read morefamily and staying several nights a week at the hotel. Matt has been there 90% of the time we are there and I just wanted to give a big shout out to how friendly and accommodating he has been. He always asks about my daughter's family, remembers who we are, remembers what room we were in ., what can I say! THANK YOU for making our stay and check in a great experience Matt!!

    Had a really odd experience here. The first thing that went wrong was when the receptionist gave us…read morethe key to the room. When we went up to the room, my Dad opened up the door only to see that it was occupied! There was luggage open, a hat on the table etc. Thankfully, the occupant was not there in that moment or it could've gone really bad. Imagine if they'd just gotten out of the shower and someone had barged into their room while they were still indecent. It would've been a lawsuit for sure. Anyways, we were transferred to a new room. This room had lots of things wrong with it. First, maintenance had left a large fan machine blowing air really loudly in it. The AC machine did not work and was covered in mold. The room had a mildew smell. The curtain rods didn't have any curtains Just sticks, no fabric. Usually there's a sheer curtain and a thicker black out curtain. There was no sheer curtain. There were mysterious red stains on the couch. No bed bugs though! Breakfast was underwhelming. The apple juice was very watery. The food was generally pretty bland. Eggs rubbery, sausage was unflavorful. The boiled oatmeal was literally mush. Bagels were ok. Also, the chair cushions in the lobby were chipped/cracked and peeling. Table was wobbly. The location is in a random spot in a sketchy neighborhood. Parking is ok. Basically, I agree with the other reviewers that this place is definitely dated and janky af lol. I was disappointed because I thought Marriott had a certain level of standards. If you stay for one night here as a last resort, it's fine but I'd go somewhere else if you intend to stay a bit longer.

The rooms were spacious and clean, with attractive furnishings of tables, dresser, chairs and bed. We did not try the pool-like bathtub (next to shutters that open to the main room and TV!) but the shower was magnificent! Towels and ROBES were fluffy and floral-smelling. Toilet flush was awesome, lol. Height of counter was thoughtfully higher-than usual and it had room for personal effects. The bed was not super-comfortable but acceptable. It was soft over hard, and my sister felt pressure points. The chairs sunk in the middle, but we weren't in them long. The gas fireplace was lovely!! And both windows open for fresh air, which I find very important. The place was very quiet and we only encountered other guests a few minutes here and there. The grounds are Gorgeous with grasses, roses, huge lavender plants. We loved sitting in the metal patio furniture with umbrellas, by the marina, eating our custom breakfasts! So relaxing and decadent. Kat, our breakfast waitress, was A+ and very pleasant. We all liked the food too. We did walk to local restaurants from here, plus easily visited Mystic by car. We did walk the nearby 1mi bayside trail to the Hole-in-the-Wall beach. It was a bit too far unless you can enjoy ~3mi roundtrip from Inn to beach. Our favorite restaurants were 374 Kitchen & Cocktail, followed by Constantine's (deck). We did not care for Flanders which was crowded and noisy, plus several additional unpleasant features! Now for the gritty: For unknown reason, the Inn has very cheap toiletpaper! And there is no place to lay clothes in the bathroom except in a drawer. There is no fridge in the room - just an icebucket with a fridge and ice in the community areas. They provide 2 bottles of water at the start of your stay...but you can get another at breakfast. Coffee is in carafes in the morning, but otherwise from Keurigs in the community room. You may freely wear the robes - just place them with your dirty towels at end of stay. To get clean towels, place your used ones outside your door! Fresh ones will magically appear in a plastic bag outside the door. They were not offering the pontoon rides when we were there in early June. I was disappointed and felt they should post the limitations. They do have cookies plus wine/cheese/grapes at certain times. These items are in the main Inn, where there are two tiny closets with staff in them. We were pretty comfortable going in and out the business area. Kat was the most welcoming, smiling when we cut through the kitchen each morning. We splurged to stay here for 70th BD celebrations. All four of us loved the Inn and had fun days in Niantic and Mystic.

The kitchen is small, but there's a functioning kitchen should you need one. The outside grounds are clean and pretty. Loving the view from my room, but mainly that's because I'm a geek who hadn't experienced real autumn in 20-something years (we live in the South). My only thing is that I was not told about the free Wi-Fi and it took me a while to realize that the name of the free Wi-Fi network doesn't indicate that it is in fact the Navy Lodge's Wi-Fi. As for the bagged grab-and-go breakfast. This is pretty common everywhere now. I saw some people complain about that. Just be glad you're given something to put on your stomach!

Prior to our arrival we went online to see if this Navy Lodge had space available, and it was showing they have 3 rooms available for booking. So we decided to just do a walk in and the manager (Karll Smith) was rude and unprofessional. Mr. Smith told us that they had 3 rooms under construction, and he had no space available. So we called the Navy Lodge central booking, and reported this poor customer service and unprofessional staff member. We were booked a room and our credit card was charged $107 June 16, 2026, but no room was available. So we ended up going to the Navy Inn instead, which had much better customer service. Monday June 15, 2026 evening shift. Names of employees noted with a pic on reviews on social media. The pics on my phone are time and date stamped proving I was at this lodge. I called and spoke to Sarah June 17, 2026, my CC was charged $107. She stated we were a no show that night which is a lie. He stated in front of me and spouse no rooms are available, even though customer service stated that 3 rooms are available. Karll is a liar and a unprofessional individual. How and why would you have anyone working at your Lodge with this kind of attittude, not good at all. This is CC fraud, I will be reporting this to my CC company if this isn't reversed. June 18, 2026 I spoke withe the General manager Brandon: He was kind and apologized for the incident. He did refund us our money back. appreciated his kindness. One day I will try again to stay here if in the area.

It operates with the relational connection of a mom and Pop hotel. From the moment you walk in you know that this is more than a corporate setting. From the time you check into the time you check out, everyone goes beyond what they could possibly do to make your stay better. They're friendly. They remember who you are. And when there is a need, they scramble to meet it as quickly as possible. The managers, the executive staff are all walking around the hotel the whole time. They take their time to listen to you and they respond. The restaurant has created a menu that allows you to have a hamburger or a steak. So it becomes very affordable, especially breakfast during the week. On a recent trip, my wife had to be hospitalized. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and give us information since we were not from Connecticut. They constantly were checking in to make sure everything was OK. If you're doing a corporate event don't even hesitate just sign up. If you're coming for a personal retreat. This stand alone hotel will give you the peace the quality that Marriott can only give.

We were given vouchers for drinks and breakfast (I think everyone received those). Room was clean, but there were no tissues in the bathroom, and one of the elevators was broken. The pool area was disappointing, and there was no M Club or concierge open. Breakfast at the restaurant was chaotic. We gave our name, and they "missed" our name even though it was at the top of the list. They were way under staffed, very inefficient, voucher description was confusing & covered only basic items, buffet food was lukewarm, and we had to wait an extremely long time for our check (even after asking). And, even though we had late checkout, the cleaning staff came to the door at 10 having no clue. Disappointed!

There was a shower shelf that did work and helped somebody who was staying with me get out of the shower. The breakfast was O.K. but the waffles were rubbery and the doughnuts were like cardboard. The toilet was refilling all night, and it could be heard even when the door was closed. The wall AC unit on the wall was reading 82 degrees when it felt like 72 degrees. The shower dial for hot and cold setting was reversed, and it took almost 5 minutes just to figure that out. There was trash all over the parking lot. The bed had a weird cotton swab on when we arrived and had more hairs than I could count. All the surfaces were dirty and had a weird sticky substance on them. On the carpet under the AC unit there were mysterious white spots. To end all of this off, the night that we were there, a storm happened and water leaked into the room somehow and soaked the first three feet of carpet. In conclusion, our visit to Regency Inn was an adventurous and tedious night.

Our room was right across from some machine that buzzed loudly on and off all night so I barely slept. The room itself had clean sheets and clean tub/shower.

When I checked out I had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come to the desk and I advised him of the loud machine buzzing/grinding noise (room 612) and he didn't seem to care.

Everything was run down. Chipped paint, dents in the wall, hard as a rock mattress, The chair that was stained beyond belief I was afraid to lay my luggage on it. The bathroom wasn't too bad. I never showered in it but at least it was clean!! My bf and I decided to look past the overall esthetics and just get some dinner, shower and a try to get a good night sleep. I sat in the broken office chair to look up places to eat when out of the corner of my eye I saw something scurry by. I honestly thought it was a roach but then I saw the tail!!! It was a mouse, I'm not afraid of mice but just didn't want to sleep with one!! We grab our stuff and left, the same guy who was in the office simply said "what, how did he get there"??

Staff seemed friendly and helpful. Rooms were very nice, clean, bright and set up spaciously. Liked the HVAC controls, as you only needed to set the temperature that you wanted and it would chuckle to get the room to that temperature. If there was one negative it would be that they don't have a continental breakfast. They have a menu at the bar area but it does cost you to dine in the morning. Oh, also we like to grab coffee in the evening but their complimentary coffee was only in the morning hours. Had two rooms - a double queen bed room that was nice and a King Suite that was super spacious. Liked that the Suite had two bathrooms and a true separate bedroom area.

The hotel was pretty quiet and the gym was okay, dumbbells and a few treadmills. There was a TRX set up. The hotel did provide coffee from 6:00-10:00, and had snacks and drinks for sale. There was an onsite restaurant serving breakfast (not included) and dinner. There is a small Walmart next door, and a Stop and Shop just beyond that. I would skip the Walmart. Minor point- The Government rate was taxed, so you have to fill out a tax exemption forms. Also, the mini fridge does not have a freezer, but the room does have a microwave.
