The restaurant was so nice and I highly recommend the hummus platter! We had that and some cocktails and dessert and enjoyed all of it. The pool was lovely and heated and I was so grateful for the adult hours from 12-2 and 9-10pm as the kids on the winter took over and there would have been no way to swim otherwise. What a great idea! Many conference rooms and the hotel was clean and quiet for sleeping. The staff was doting and thoughtful. Right across from the aquarium and the mystic village shops too! Close to downtown and the drawbridge

Great location across from old mystic village and aquarium. It has an ocean theme which the kids loved. We didn’t try the restaurant but we did have dessert and drinks by their fireplace which was nice. Would definitely stay again.

I had reserved two rooms, each with two double beds and asked for a crib. I showed them my reservation request upon check-in and was told that there were no double beds available. We had eight people. We were told we would get two rooms each with one king size bed. The clerk at check-in did then give us breakfast to compensate and sent in a rolling twin bed in each room. In my room, three people slept in the large bed. I had to sleep on the low roll in bed on the floor. I am close to 80 years old and was not pleased. My son and daughter-in-law said we should not pay for the rooms at all. I would have expected at least a partial refund since we did not get the accommodations we reserved.

If you are looking for a nice experience when traveling with a family, including the use of an indoor pool, DO NOT stay at this property. The only reason I chose this hotel was so my 4-year-old could enjoy a warm indoor pool before visiting the Mystic Aquarium. Before booking, I specifically called the hotel and was told the pool was maintained at 78 degrees and was enjoyable for families. That was not true. The pool water was tepid at best, and the pool area itself was cold. There were visible building issues contributing to this, including a ¼”–½” gap under an exterior door with no weather stripping and windows covered in condensation, indicating inadequate insulation for this climate. The space was clearly not properly heated or maintained. I raised concerns early in the morning and was told maintenance would be contacted, but no one followed up. Later, when I spoke with Operations Manager Heather Park, she was dismissive and defensive, insisting the water temperature was fine and implying it only felt cold due to the windows. That response was insulting and unprofessional. Bottom line: I was given inaccurate information about the pool. The pool area is poorly designed and inadequately climate-controlled. Customer service was dismissive and rude. This was a disappointing experience, especially for a family with a young child. I would not recommend this hotel if an indoor pool is important to your stay.

My stay at the Hilton in Mystic, Connecticut was horrible from the very first day until the very end. On the first night, there was extremely loud noise coming from every direction—guests playing music at full blast, people screaming, and doors constantly being slammed. I contacted the front desk to complain, but I was completely ignored the first time. After that, they stopped answering calls from the phone inside the room, forcing me to call from my personal phone. Heather eventually answered and was helpful enough to move us to a different room, which I appreciated. However, the noise issues continued throughout the rest of my stay. Early mornings and late nights were filled with screaming children and loud adults, along with nonstop door slamming. The noise level was so bad that other guests had to step out of their rooms to complain as well, yet nothing was properly resolved. This continued for the entirety of our stay. To make matters worse, the room itself was not very clean, which added to the overall disappointment. Between the constant noise, lack of effective response from the front desk, and cleanliness issues, the customer service and overall experience fell far below expectations. I am extremely disappointed with this stay and would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.
