The Niantic Inn

Close to the beach. If you book direct with the hotel you get beach passes, otherwise $10/per person per day. We had a key issue that they took care of quickly.

View on odd side look at bank parking lot.

Excellent hotel. Close to the beach. Very spacious clean rooms .

Did not dislike any of the stay

Extremely convenient to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants on Main St.

1st floor rooms are actually basement level. A/C and dehumidifier were noisy, as was the floor above us. Low water pressure in shower.

Location is good as it’s within walking distance to restaurants & beach.

Well I took others’ advice and requested upon booking to NOT be on bottom floor as it’s actually the basement 🙁. Apparently no one reads the “requests” bc sure enough we were assigned a basement room! The receptionist said no other rooms were available and I “should have called them” bc Booking.com assigns bottom floor first! How the heck is a patron supposed to know this? I assumed requesting not to be on the bottom floor when I booked would be enough. That being said, she was nice and the room was clean. Fair enough for our 1 night stay but if it were a longer stay I wouldn’t have continued. I need natural light and if the curtains were not drawn on the high windows (the view is the same if you were a car tire), then all the patrons look right down into your room when getting in and out of their cars. We had to keep the curtains shut for privacy. Claustrophobic for me personally. Ceiling canister lights provide the lighting. For me personally, NOT what a wanted to spend $400 on for the night. I do have a suggestion for the hotel….maybe at least use a spring rod and curtain across the bathroom entry where the vanity is. The bed sits directly across from this area and when one person is trying to sleep and the other is in the bathroom the lights coming from that area are way too bright. I’m not a complainer in general and hate to say anything negative but I just want to warn others that if you are booking online at this hotel, don’t. Call them personally to insure you don’t end up in an underground room. Other than that I think you will like the location and cleanliness.
